Safety, trust & environment

For cats, I’ll happily make visits to your home but wouldn’t be able to have your cat come to mine. With dogs, I’d prefer to care for them in your home and take them out for daily hikes or walks. Am willing to care for small pets such as guinea pigs, bunnies, or hamsters in your home. Please message for special rates.

Information Janelle W. would like to know about your pet

- Breed/Age - Health conditions or allergies, dietary restrictions - Exercise needs - Training level and obedience, basic commands and recall - behavioural issues and anxieties - Temperament and behavior around other animals and people - Grooming needs or sleeping habits - Emergency contact information for the owner and veterinarian.

A typical day

I am willing to go on walks or runs, play fetch or tug-of-war, practice obedience training, go to the dog park or beach, play with toys, and snuggle or relax together. It's important we choose activities that are appropriate for your dog's age, breed, and physical abilities, and to always prioritize their safety and well-being.

Pet care you can trust

Pet care experience

As an experienced pet caregiver with over two years on Rover, I’m passionate about providing professional, compassionate care for all animals. Growing up with cats, aquariums, and small rodents taught me empathy and respect for pets of all kinds. I now care for my Snowshoe Siamese, Preston, and my Border Collie, Brewer, giving me firsthand experience with both senior and high-energy pets. I’m skilled in raw food handling, attentive to special needs, and committed to ensuring your pet feels happy and loved while you’re away. I’d be honoured to care for your furry family member!

Janelle is the best - our bunny and cats love her. She’s intuitive and goes the extra mile. She is definitely our go-to sitter.

We’ve had Janelle taking care of our cats when we leave for two years and she’s fantastic! We have a cat with some more complex medication needs and she did such a great job. Absolutely recommend!

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.
