Pet care experience

Former vet tech and animal lover

I worked as a veterinary technician for over 4 years and have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. This means if your dog needs special medical home treatment (pills, SQ fluids, insulin injections, etc.) I am comfortable administering these, but I would most likely charge more for special needs pets. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for almost 20 years, but took a break while abroad in the Peace Corps. I have a masters degree in environmental science, and work from home in environmental communication. I love pets and will treat your dog or cat like my own. In my pet sitting career, I have also cared for every type of animal, from hand fed fish to chickens to fat tailed geckos, so if you have more than just dogs and cats, I'm glad to take care of the whole menagerie! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

House Sitting • Jun 25, 2025

We had a very good experience with Janelle. She was attentive to all the needs of our older and sensitive spaniel. She kept in touch with updates and pictures. Took great care of the house and most importantly, Maude (our dog) was happy and in great shape when we returned after 8 days. I will definately ask her back. Thanks Janelle!!

Janelle looked after Dio for one day and one night. Dio had a good time and I appreciated knowing Dio was relaxing shortly after I dropped her off.

Janelle could not have been a better dog sitter. Sherman had a fantastic time. He played with her dog. She took him to the beach and on hikes. I think that she truly seemed to really like my dog. Janelle’s house was fenced. To conclude and reiterate Janelle was a fabulous dog sitter. Janelle

Janelle graciously accommodated our last minute request. Taylor had a great time playing with her pup. He came back happy and tuckered out. A win-win!

Janelle was wonderful with our dog Jett. She and her dog, Canyon, kept Jett entertained with multiple trips to the beach and dog park. I would choose Janelle again, and would recommend her to anyone.

Schedule

I work from home and take my own doggo out a bunch! He has episodes of back pain and when he does, we don't walk as much, but when he's feeling good, we walk about 2 miles a day. I'd LOVE for your dog to join us!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a super friendly pup of my own that will love to play with yours. I will treat your dog like my own, give them tons of cuddles and reach out to you if anything goes wrong while they're staying with me to make sure I'm caring for them like you would!

Pets

A typical day

The best thing about any day is taking my (and your!) dog on a walk. Typically my day starts with a walk on the running path near my house. I'm at home all day and my dog loves to play. If he joins in on our stay, he entertains pups while I work. In the evening, I cook dinner, garden, read a book, and have time for another walk with my partner. Generally if I leave the house in the evening, I take well-behaved dogs with or am gone for only an hour or two.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I've had experience with veterinary nursing, so am comfortable taking care of any dogs that need special attention.
