Love running! I'll take your dog.

Pet care experience

Grew up on a ranch life style. Lots of dogs, horses, cats and many others in the “strange pet” category! Started to watch the neighbors dogs while they were away and loved it. I have 4 dogs of my own in Oregon- very high energy ranch dogs. Love animals and have had lots of experience with all kinds and lots of personalities. Don't mind staying overnight and cuddling up with the puppers, checking in on them or taking them on a walk! I am a student so need a buddy while I do homework or someone to run with or take breaks with at the dog park. I love to hike, if that is something you are comfortable with and your pupper would enjoy doing for some exercise, I’m happy to bring them. No pet is to crazy! High energy is just as fun and shy guys always know how to pull on the heart strings.

I can't recommend Janelle enough! I had just adopted a kitty from the ARL, even knowing I had a vacation planned over Christmas - but I couldn't pass him up. As a new relocation to WDM I didn't have neighbors to rely on as I did in the past, so turned to Rover for help. Janelle exceeded my expectations in every way. She came by a few days before my departure, super personable and easy to know. She took excellent care of Whiskey while I was away and I came home to a clean house! (he's an amazing litter tracker). I won't hesitate to book again if needed. Thank you to Janelle and Rover!

Janelle was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pups with strangers and having them stay in our house; we were so nervous. Janelle sent pictures, and she took fabulous care of our pups and house. We will definitely book her again!

This was our first experience using Rover and Janelle was great. She was very accommodating to our schedule and did a great job communicating with us. I would definitely book with her again.

I’m a clean person and love to keep my living places that way. Always want the pets to feel like they’re having a fun (human) play date while their parents are away and keep them feeling as normal as possible when away from home.

Information Janelle O. would like to know about your pet

Most important information to me is where the food and water is as well as leash and toys. I do like to know if they have issues with other doggos just so I can be extra aware of my surroundings on walks and make sure I don’t take them on a doggie vacation to Pups and Pints (of course with asking first).

A typical day

I love taking them on walks or runs if they can! Throwing the ball seems to be the real winner so I can provide a daily ball throw or two as well.
