Pet care experience

I’ll love your pets the way you do

I’ve had pets my entire life; from dogs (Rottweilers, chihuahuas, corgi, malamute, papillon, dachshunds) to cats, parakeets, lizards, rodents, and fish. I’ve loved and cared for all of them. My friends and family know I love animals so much I’m their go to person to ask for pet sitting. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets in the hands of someone else and hope that person will care for them the way you expect and they deserve and I’d love to be that person for you!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Im a firm believer in routine. I want to make your pets comfortable especially around a new person or while you’re out of town. I want to do what I can to keep their routines similar to when you’re around, if you’re training I’d love to learn what I need to do to keep it consistent for them. If they like to be let out a specific time, then I want to be able to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible.

This was my first time hiring a dog walker and Janelle was great! We were on vacation and she walked Stansha while I had dinner out. She was flexible if we ran late and came back with pictures of Stansha’s adventures. Very kind demeanor. Five stars.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 08, 2026

We just moved to town and I was anxious about hiring a cat sitter for the first time, but Janelle came over to meet our cats a few days in advance and I knew right away that they would be in great hands during my trip. She provided detailed updates after each drop in visit and plenty of photos of our cats, which reassured me that they were doing well. They warmed up to Janelle quickly and I feel so much better about traveling in the future now that I have someone I can trust to take great care of them!

We had Janelle come over mid day for half an hour to feed our dog and let him out into the backyard to relieve himself. She was very reliable and responsive, came on time and sent a photo after each visit.

If your dog has any specific needs, behaviors, or training that it’s doing I’d love to know so I can accommodate each pet while they’re with me.
