I have two very friendly doggies that are under 20 lbs and one Dutch shepherd who is 66lbs but very friendly. He is very hyper but slows down. I have a fenced in property and live on 10acres. More fencing to be installed spring 2025. Weather permitting I play fetch everyday with my doggies that play fetch but the ones that don’t at least get a long period outside to roam.

Information Janelle W. would like to know about your pet

I am used to special needs animals I typically rescue seniors with health issues. I can administer some meds via injections, but I would only do injections in the muscle. If they have any conditions I need to know about or their favorite toys anything that will make their visit with me a great one.

A typical day

Depends on what the dogs normal routine is. I play fetch, do walks, or just cuddle. Whatever they need to be comfortable in their new surroundings.

Animal lover & rescuer

Pet care experience

I have had dogs, cats, birds, and horses the majority of my life. I have helped take care of friends fur children as well as my own. I lost my beloved yorkie The Captain when I first moved to Florida from complications from a liver shut. I have since dedicated myself to helping dogs in need. I also adopted two cats, two birds, and most recently a bunny. The outside animals are my horses, I have my retired 35 year old show jumper, my 15 year old rescued retired racehorse, and my baby horse who is 7

She was wonderful and Burt had a great time. She sent pictures and videos of him playing with all his new friends.

What good things can I say that hasn't already been said about Janelle! - She is OUTSTANDING! - She took on a half-day sitter duties for my Beagle on short notice (within a few hours), which was a blessing for me, in an urgent situation and being from out of state and not knowing anyone. She's so friendly and my dog seems to have taken to her immediately! Thank you Janelle! She is HIGHLY recommended!

Janelle is a dream and my pup is so happy when she comes home. Janelle provides Rosie access to the house and gives daily updates and pics while I am away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
