I am a full-time student who works part-time at Starbucks. I also am in a club called "A Moment of Magic," where we go on day long visits with medically vulnerable children. So, while I am busy, I am dedicated! I am committed to making sure your pets are well-taken care of. I am happy to provide walks and cuddles. I am usually not available on Tuesdays from 7pm-9pm and Thursdays from 5am-5pm. Feel free to shoot me a message if you are curious about my schedule for that specific week!

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, since I live in a dorm I cannot provide boarding! However, in your home I will do anything you need me to do to make your animals comfortable. If you need me to stay, I don't mind doing so! If you don't want me there for long, I'll be in and out. I am always going to be respectful of your privacy, your pets and your home.

Information Janelle S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know EVERYTHING. Quirks, medical needs, temperament. I want to give them the best care possible. Even if you think it may be insignificant I still want to know!

A typical day

Every dog is different but I'll say a typical day with my pup! Valentina is a medium energy pittie, mastiff mix. Every morning starts out with some cuddles because she just loves em. Then I let her outside and hang out in the yard, maybe toss around a ball. Sometimes this is a walk/drive where I get and treat so does she! I make sure to let her enjoy every smell & sensation. If I'm not in a rush, why should I rush her? Then we hang out and watch some dog tv, I usually study during this. The nature videos are relaxing and help me focus (a win-win!) I try to play with her often and redirect her energy so she doesn't get restless. Tug of war is our favorite game!

Affordable, yet personalized care!

Pet care experience

My names Janelle and I'd classify myself as whatever-you-want-sitter! I have experience with children, cats, dogs, fish etc. For as long as I can remember I've had cats and dogs in my house. I love pets of all shapes and sizes! (Though I am a little partial to senior pets and big pups.) I don't discriminate on size, energy or mannerisms. Skittish or hyper, big or small, doesn't matter to me! I am 100% invested in your dog or cat's perfect care. I want them to be comfortable and happy!

Janelle is very friendly, patient, and helpful! My dog is usually nervous around people she doesnt know but she warmed right up to her immediately and enjoyed her walks. Communication was great and the overall experience was pleasant. I look forward to booking with Janelle again in the future(:
