We were lucky to have Janelle come to our home and care for our new pup. We also did a drop off at her home to meet and play with Bim. The dogs got along beautifully, and we were impressed with Janelle’s knowledge of dogs and their communication and behavior. It's clear how much she loves dogs, and she took very loving and attentive care of ours. We're looking forward to more days with Dirty Herd Dogs!
Gabrielle, with Augie


We offer heart-centered, daytime care rooted in communication, connection, and play. Whether we’re with your dog at your home or in ours, we bring calm guidance, enrichment, and gentle structure—
so your dog feels understood, secure, and utterly loved while you’re away.
(We're a daytime-only service for now.
No overnights . . . yet!)

Janelle always meets my dog with a positive attitude and calm consistency. It truly shows her genuine care for my pup.

Pickles can be shy but Janelle and Bim are always ready to meet him where he's at. Dirty Herd Dogs takes the time to individualize each pup! Pickles always comes home relaxed and happy!

Georgie lights up when Janelle arrives—full-body joy, happy jumps, and plenty of kisses. That says everything."
