Specialties
Exclusively caring for SMALL DOGS that will weigh less than 18 lbs at maturity. Loving and supervised daycare and overnight boarding in a real home with securely fenced yard. I will care for your dog like you do - my goal is to be the Next Best Thing to Home Sweet Home when you don't want your pup to spend the day home alone, you want to add some days of play to your dogs routine, or must travel without your pup. I provide socialization and cage-free care in my dog-friendly Venice Beach home for a few dogs.
Your dog's day will be filled with play, walks, tummy rubs and ear scratches, cuddles and rest times, and human companionship. Your dog will be happy here with me and you will have peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving individual care according to your instructions.

History
Established in 2012.
Your host, Jan, returned to her Venice home in 2009 and a few years later rescued a stray pup off the streets. In 2012, when she opened her home to additional dogs, it built on her 6 years of experience operating a licensed infant home daycare center when she lived in Chevy Chase, MD, with her young family. First-time parents would trust her to care for their precious baby.
Jan enjoys the company of the dogs and limits the number of dogs to insure that each pup receives individual attention in a calm home environment. Cody, Jan’s Maltese mix, rescued from the Venice boardwalk, shares host duties with Jan.
Meet the Business Owner: Jan F.
When Jan is not playing with, snuggling, or walking dogs, she makes jewelry, practices the piano, and tends to her succulent gardens.
Jan previously operated a licensed infant daycare in her home in Chevy Chase, MD for 6 years when her two sons were youngsters. Her experience caring for infants and toddlers along with her knowledge of dogs is evident in the conscientious and loving care she will provide for your pup.
