Compassionate Canine+Cat Caretaker!
Pet care experience
Hi I'm Janelle and I love pets, especially the furry four-legged kind! I was born, raised and currently reside in Gurnee. I grew up with five dogs and participated with them in the canine sport, flyball. My love for pets continued into my former full-time job in radio for almost two decades. I was let go due to budget cuts because of COVID-19. With the radio station, I worked on a weekly basis with Save-A-Pet in Grayslake, a not-for-profit, no-kill shelter. I also helped produce our annual Petpalooza event in Lake Villa where I teamed up with area pet non-profits and pet vendors and provided a free afternoon of festivities for the whole family... and their pets were encouraged to attend. My favorite, and most emotional, pet experience was going down to Texas with K9s4U from McHenry to rescue dogs who were abandoned during Hurricane Harvey. I have no kids or pets, so I'm very flexible and am ready to have a PAWesome time helping to take care of your pet(s) with safety as my #1 priority! MORE ABOUT ME: Adores flying single engine airplanes (pursuing private pilot license), volunteering for the Lake County Honor Flight, likes traveling (visited 38 countries so far), enjoys going to concerts, loves photography and is a 23-year-long vegetarian. PLEASE NOTE: I am usually unavailable between 10:30 am - 3 pm Monday through Friday as I have several recurring dog walks. I'd be happy do do drop-in visits or walks before or after and almost any time on the weekends. Thanks!

Janelle is amazing! She took such great care of my little girl when I was traveling for work. Daily summaries and lots of pics. I know my little one will be in great hands when I book Janelle again.
Give Janelle a lot of credit for walking them both together as it’s difficult! My son works a lot now (so do I) and I can’t be there to walk them. So thankful and blessed we found her !
very responsive and reliable. godsend to have her and these two are not easy to deal with / walk together and we need the help :-)
Janelle is a wonderful person and the dogs loved her instantly. She’s very conscious of hers and your time and I would recommend her for all of your pups needs!
