About Janet & Gary Reschke

Peace of Mind for Animal Lovers!

Combining 40+ years of experience in training, walking, and raising dogs with her years of experience raising horses, Janet Reschke is a pro when it comes to caring for four-legged creatures.

In addition to her years of hands-on experience, she holds certification in animal first aid and is a member of the Professional Dog Walkers of Canada.

When not caring for creatures, she has spent years caring for people. She and her husband designed and built a high-end B&B in Alberta, which was sold when they moved to Vancouver Island.

That’s where she started Paw Perspectives to help people enhance their compatibility and communications with their dogs—again combining her love of animals with her certification in Personality Dimensions and years of coaching individuals for personal and professional development.

Moving from the Island to be closer to grandchildren, Janet and her husband, Gary, set up home in Redwater, Alberta.

Once Gary retired in 2017, he started his handyman business—Your Traveling Toolbox—to utilize his 35+ years in the construction field, which includes being a journeyman electrician and welder.

Although he chose the name “Your Traveling Toolbox” to reflect that his services are mobile, the light bulb went on for him and Janet.

Taking the “traveling” beyond Redwater and neighboring areas, he and Janet have decided to venture across Canada to provide pet and house sitting services.

Whether owners of a B&B/horse farm on Vancouver Island want to get away for a well-deserved holiday or Mom needs surgery and rehab in Manitoba (but boarding her three dogs would be unacceptable or unaffordable), Janet and Gary are ready to travel and GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND—caring for your pets and your house!

Fact: Pets are happy with their routine.

Fact: Pets are less anxious when in familiar surroundings–their home and bed.

Fact: Although you being away will likely cause some stress for your pets, a professional Pet-House sitter will minimize the impact of your absence without adding the additional strain of unfamiliar spaces or travel.

Our Clients Say…

“I love Janet she did a fabulous job taking care of my 7 dogs and 6 cats. She even improvised to calm my chihuahuas fear of thunder. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.” –Dee Mag

“Janet was amazing with our 2 dogs, llama and donkey. She was very professional and dedicated to our pets. She communicated with us before and during her stay and I felt very confident that everything was being looked after while I was away. Most importantly, our pets just love her! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.“

–Terry Hanson Hayduk

“Janet and Gary stayed at our B&B and did a great job with the horses, chickens, and our “baby” (3-year old lab)–Cosmo.

They treated our home like it was theirs–taking care of everything as a conscientious homeowner would, and leaving the house as tidy as they found it.

Gary and Janet are warm yet professional. We now consider them our friends and would call them again for a future holiday for sure.”

–Carolyn and Steve Touhey

“Jan looks after our special critter all the time when we’re out of town for the weekend, or sometimes just to give our mutt a “spa day.” We would highly recommend.”

Dan and Tara Wilson

“Our family has had the pleasure of knowing Janet for 12 years, In that time she has watched our Black Labs and our home many times. Both here in Alberta and on Vancouver Island, BC. She is professional and trustworthy. She takes great care of our dogs and our home. Our dogs absolutely love her!”

Kathy and Anthony Mosher, Fort Saskatchewan, AB

“Our family travelled to Antarctica and Patagonia, half a planet away for a month. Janet and Gary looked after our house and our beyond timid kitty, Boo—this allowed us to actually enjoy our trip and not spend our entire vacation worrying about things at home. Not only did Janet pamper Boo, but she also became ‘friends’ with our scaredy cat …first time ever for Boo. Gary also got busy and fixed a bunch of things around our house. Best decision ever—we highly recommend Paw Perspectives!”
