Pet care experience

Fur baby care you can count on!

I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was six years old, having grown up with a variety of breeds. For the past 8 years, I’ve been actively pet sitting and dog walking, caring for everything from tiny terriers to giant breeds. I currently have a large dog of my own with a big personality and unpredictable behaviors, so I’m very comfortable handling excitable, quirky, or high-energy pets. I’m also experienced with administering medications—oral, topical or injections—as my own pup requires daily meds. Whether your dog needs a calm presence or someone who can match their playful energy, I’m here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I truly love working with dogs and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

J’Kel has been amazing with my foster dog and was willing to meet her the same weekend she came home. The dog enjoyed her walks with J’Kel and J’Kel sent me updates and photos/videos every walk! 10/10 would recommended her!!

We love J’kel for our dog Ozzy! She is very gentle with her and patient which is exactly what Ozzy needs as a high energy dog! She takes her on the longest walks to get out her energy and plays with her at the dog park! I couldn’t recommend anyone more fit to be with pets! She is kind, patient, responsible and trustworthy!

To make sure your dog has the safest, happiest experience possible, I always like to get a clear picture of their needs before our time together. Here are a few things I’d love to know ahead of time: Temperament & Personality: Is your dog shy, energetic, reactive, or super social? Do they prefer calm walks or high-energy play? Knowing their personality helps me tailor the visit to what they love most. Medications or Health Needs: If your pup takes any medications or has specific health concerns (like allergies, arthritis, or dietary restrictions), please let me know. I’m experienced with administering medications and always prioritize your pet’s well-being. Behavioral Quirks: Any behaviors I should be aware of? For example—reactivity to other dogs, resource guarding, escape artistry, or fear of loud noises. No judgment—just helpful to know! Leash or Harness Preferences: If your dog has a specific walking setup or gear they’re most comfortable in, I’ll gladly stick to their routine. Favorite Things (or Least Favorite): Whether it's belly rubs, a special toy, swimming, or just a quiet spot to nap, I love to know what makes your dog feel at home—and what doesn’t. Sharing these details helps me provide the best care possible and makes sure your pup feels safe, understood, and totally loved while you're away!
