Lifelong Animal Lover and Caretaker

Pet care experience

I'm a creative professional and freelancer, but I've always had an equal love for animal care and health. Since 2011, I've done sitting and walking for friends, family, and various word of mouth connections. Over the past years, Rover has helped me spread beyond my personal network and ramp up my business. Canine and pet care has become a staple in my life. :) Since I can work from my laptop on my own schedule, I am able to give tons of attention and love to your beloved pet, and accommodate any of your needs. I have a lot of experience with special needs and unique animals. I am very comfortable with administering medication or special care during check-ins and house sits. I also accept all exotics! I am comfortable and familiar first hand with any dietary needs, such as raw or whole prey diets, since I’ve owned and rescued reptiles. I've given vaccinations to animals ranging from small dogs, to angry lizards rescued from wild import conditions. If I wasn't a graphic designer and illustrator, I'd probably be a zookeeper, vet tech, or herpetologist!

Janelle helped us out when we needed a last minute sitter for our sick pup and she took great care of him and our house. Would definitely have her dog & housesit again!

Janelle was a lifesaver! She took exceptional care of my 3 cats over the holiday weekend -- sending lots of pics, spending a good amount of time cuddling, and seeing to their needs during her visits. I will definitely be booking with Janelle again in the future!

My dog Charles loves attention and Janelle is always happy to provide it - thanks for spoiling Charles while I was away!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for others’ pets as if they were my own. I’ve lived with animals for nearly my whole life, so maintaining their safety and comfort is hardwired into my brain! Many people in my life have referred to me as an animal magnet. If an anxious pet finds themselves in a room full of people, chances are they'll come to me for cuddles and safety. :) We will talk about your pet’s needs, favorite things, triggers, health, emergency/veterinary contacts, etc. before I stay at your home. In addition, I am always a text or phone call away!

Information Janelle N. would like to know about your pet

- Any medications, disabilities, health conditions to be aware of, etc - Level of training / commands I can use - Total length of walking time needed per day - Spay/neuter status - Microchip status / does your dog have a collar or harness with ID tags? - Any possible triggers both in public and in the home

A typical day

- Long walks, - Exploring and sniffing through green spaces and nearby trails, - Toys/treats/chews enrichment, - Hands on playtime, - Cuddling while I am on my laptop for work, - Cuddling on the couch or in bed at night, no matter their size! - Visiting my friends at parks if they’re social and it's safe to do so! - And of course, mini photo shoots to capture their silliest and cutest moments and send them to you!
