With dozens of well-kept dog parks and breathtaking natural attractions, Buffalo, NY is a "grrreat" place for pups and people to live. The city is a hub of international trade and commerce, which means the locals hustle hard. (And they play hard, too — unlike many cities in the US, Buffalo's nightclubs don't close until 4 AM!)

While the pet parents of Buffalo work and play, who's taking care of their loyal pups? Dedicated Pet Caregivers like Janet, a Buffalo, NY dog walker who’s been walking dogs on the Wag! platform since 2019. In her time on the Wag! platform, Janet has completed more than 1,700 pet care services, and her overall rating is a "pawfect" 5 out of 5 stars.

Here's a series of fun questions we asked Janet to get to know her better.
