ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Janine and I have been an animal lover my whole life! I started out working at DWP (Now called Dartmoor Zoo) when I was just 17. I spent 3 years there working with all animals ranging from Monkeys to Tapirs!
When I was 20, I was offered an amazing opportunity to work at Gables Farm Dogs and Cats Home. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and it also cemented my love of dogs! I stayed at Gables for 4 memorable years, and only left to start a family.
From then I have worked for the same building company for many years, but I have always had a passion to eventually go back to what I truly loved! My now 10-year-old daughter has also taken to my love of dogs and for 2 years (prior to me setting up J9's K9's) we were known as Borrowers as we would walk other people’s dogs voluntarily. This became challenging when I started to work more hours at the company I worked for and it upset both of us that there didn’t seem to be enough time in the day to do what we both loved!!
So, in October 2018 I took the biggest leap of my life so far and decided to set up J9’s K9’s!! My aim is to fill my days making others happy!
​
I have a Level 3 in Canine Welfare, for Professional Day Care & Boarding - Through the Institute of Modern Day Dog Trainers (IMDT) I have a Canine First Aid, which I achieved through The British College of Canine Studies. I also have a Pet Psychology Diploma - which I completed through New Skills Academy
and NVQ's 1 & 2 in Animal Care which I gained whilst working at the Wildlife Park and Cats & Dogs Home.
​
As well as dog walking I also offer Dog Boarding within my home. Fully Licensed through Plymouth City Council
License A047.
I am a member of the PDWA - Professional Dog Walkers Association, and I am CRB checked and Fully Insured by Protectivity Insurance.
