Janice Schutz has always loved animals. So when she was thinking about starting a business, a pet sitting service seemed like the perfect fit. She began Janice's Critter Care in Federal Way, WA in 1996.
Janice's qualifications are unique in the pet sitting industry. Before starting her business, she was a professional horse trainer and managed a kennel with facilities for 200 dogs and 50 cats, as well as a grooming shop, pet transport division, and pet cemetery.
Her pet sitting service was an instant success. Clients appreciate her professionalism and management skills, her knowledge of animals, and her genuine love for their pets. And she continues to learn, and to share her knowledge. She is certified in pet first aid and CPR. She attends educational conferences for pet sitters at every opportunity, and she is
often a presenter at the conferences.
In addition to running Janice's Critter Care the Schutz's volunteer with Greyhound Pets, Inc. placing rescued greyhounds with new families and with Friends of King County Animal Control doing puppy training classes.
