Please remember to check my calendar to see my availability! ***** ABOUT ME: I have been working as a professional pet sitter and dog walker since August of 2020 and I love what I do! I have a considerable amount of experience working with animals of all kinds. I grew up taking care of a variety of different pets and as a teenager I volunteered as a dog walker at Longmont Humane Society. I am First Aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats as well. I absolutely love cats and dogs but I also have experience with less common pets like; birds, turtles, lizards, snakes, frogs, freshwater and saltwater fish, crustaceans, tarantulas, bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, mice, chinchillas, chickens, goats, etc. In addition, I have experience with senior animals, special needs animals, and animals with behavioral issues. I am always willing and excited to take care of these or any other kinds of pets as well.
Reviews
Janelle is always so kind and patient with Max! I can tell from the photos she shares that he feels comfortable with her 🐾🖤
Janelle is so kind, gentle, and patient with Max. She’s super communicative and always willing to do whatever he needs. I’m so grateful I found her and I know Max is too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet care professional. It’s still hard to close the door and leave Max at home every morning now that I’m working outside the house again but I feel so much better knowing Janelle will be by to care for him while I’m gone! 🐾🖤
Janelle has given our skinny old cat - and our not-at-all skinny middle aged cat - personalized and loving care several times now. I feel completely confident leaving them in her hands for two weeks at a time. And I love to hear that my shy pets come to greet her at the door. I appreciate her attentiveness to detail and to their challenging diets (Not-Skinny is a scarf-and-barf cat, Skinny is on meds). Thanks, Janelle - we'll see you again soon!
Janelle was great with my cats and was a perfect communicator, not only about them but also my household to make sure I had peace of mind.

SERVICE AREA: I live and work in Longmont but I can travel to neighboring cities for bookings as well. I do however have limitations to how far I can travel. I do charge a travel fee for any booking that exceeds 10 miles from my home. Unfortunately I cannot travel further than 15 miles for any booking due to time and expense restrictions. ACTIVITIES: I love providing animals with stimulating and enjoyable activities during our visits. With dogs we may take a walk around the neighborhood and explore all the new smells or visit the park. We might also play with toys, cuddle, work on basic training, go to the dog park, take a trip to the reservoir or a nearby nature trail. I will adjust our activities to your dogs specific needs. For any activities that requiring driving (going to the dog park, reservoir, etc) I do charge an additional fee for travel based on the distance and time requirements. With cats we might play with their kitty wands or laser pointers, cuddle, spend some time building trust, or I may leave them be if that's what they prefer. With other kinds of animals (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and farm animals) we tend to interact less but I am more than willing to spend some time with them doing things they enjoy. OTHER: I can also provide other services such as bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, washing pet dishes, etc CANCELLATION POLICY: Drop-In Visits: I have a seven day cancellation policy for drop-in visits. This means that bookings need to be canceled before 12pm a full week before the start date of your stay in order to receive a full refund. Any bookings canceled after that time will receive a 50% refund. Dog Walks: I have a one day cancellation policy for dog walks. This means that bookings need to be canceled before 12pm a full day before the start date of your stay in order to receive a full refund. Any bookings canceled after that time will receive a 50% refund. PROMO CODE: Ask me for my promo code and receive $20 off your first booking. The promo code only applies to those who have never booked anything on Rover before.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I do not have any breed restrictions or reservations about large or aggressive dogs. I accept dogs of all breeds and animals of all kinds. When getting to know a new animal I always prefer to know their routine, boundaries, behavioral habits, triggers, training, medical history, and any other usual information first so I can care for them to the best of my ability. I do have experience administering injected medication with reptiles but have not yet experienced it with cats or dogs. I am always willing to learn how to administer injected medication and provide this service if necessary.
