I structure my daily routine to provide dependable morning, evening, and weekend availability so pets receive consistent and attentive care. I plan my schedule intentionally and limit bookings so each pet gets personalized attention, calm energy, and a safe experience. My goal is to make pet care fit naturally into my day while keeping communication clear and reliable for every owner.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home by keeping their normal routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions closely so your pet feels safe in their own environment. I focus on patience, positive attention, and creating a calm experience while you are away. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Information Janelle C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or allergies. It’s important for me to understand their temperament, energy level, and how they typically respond to new people or environments. I also ask about leash behavior, triggers, fears, and whether they are comfortable around other animals. I like to know their favorite activities, toys, and comfort items so I can keep things familiar and stress free. Emergency contact information, vet details, and any house rules are also helpful. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For active dogs, I enjoy long walks, neighborhood strolls, park visits, and play sessions like fetch or tug of war to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For lower energy or senior pets, I focus on gentle walks, enrichment toys, and calm companionship. I also incorporate interactive play, treat puzzles, basic command reinforcement, and plenty of affection and attention. If your pet enjoys socialization, I’m happy to include safe outings or structured playtime. For cats, I engage them with wand toys, laser play, climbing activities, and cozy cuddle time if they’re affectionate. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, stimulated, and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your pet feels comfortable even when you are away. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and personality because every animal is different. You can expect reliable communication, consistent updates, and someone who truly cares about your pet’s happiness and safety. Whether it is walks, drop ins, or extra cuddles, my goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a fun, stress free experience.

I can’t recommend Janelle enough as a pet sitter. She cared for my two dogs, Truman and Cloey, whenever I was away, and she consistently went far beyond basic care. My dogs absolutely adored her, and that speaks volumes. Cloey unfortunately has since passed, but during her time with us she struggled with degenerative disc disease, which required strict medication schedules, extra monitoring, and physical support. Janelle handled everything with so much patience and compassion. She made sure Cloey received every medication exactly on time and lovingly carried her up and down the stairs when needed. Knowing someone was willing to give that level of attention and tenderness meant everything to me. Janelle doesn’t just “watch” dogs, she truly loves them. Any dog that comes her way is treated like family. She is attentive, responsible, gentle, and deeply understanding of how important our pets are to us. Anyone who trusts Janelle with their dog can feel completely confident they are in exceptional, loving hands. 🐾🤍

Janelle is amazing with dogs. She has taken great care of my dogs as well as my brother’s dog, and they all absolutely love her. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about their safety and comfort. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her care, and I would trust her with them anytime.
