Safety, trust & environment

I follow your instructions to the letter: feeding schedules, medications, walking routes, and household rules. I always keep dogs leashed outdoors unless you have a secure fenced yard, double check doors and gates, and send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you’re away :)

Information Joelle R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your pets act around other dogs! I do have my own small dog that might join me on walks if you/your dog is comfortable with that.

A typical day

I looove giving pets cuddles and long walks for their “social media time”! If your animal has toys, I’ll make sure they get some play time.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life, first with pets growing up, and now as a proud dog mom who works from home full time. That means I can give your pet real attention, not just a quick pop in. I have an anxious dog of my own, so I completely understand how much pets thrive on routine, familiar surroundings, and a calm presence. It’s why I believe in caring for pets in their own space and decided to join Rover. I’ll never rush your pet or force interaction and let them warm up at their own pace. I also have years of experience with the senior dogs in my family, so I’m comfortable with slower walks, medications, and the extra gentleness older pets deserve. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. When I stay overnight, my own dog stays home with my partner so your pet gets my full, undivided attention. My flexible schedule means I can keep your pet’s routine exactly as they know it, with plenty of photo updates along the way!

Joelle R. has taken care of our home, our dog and our cat when we are away in a caring and responsible manner over the past 4 years. Both of our pets love her. When she house sat for us, Joelle worked from home so that both animals loved the extra presence and attentin she gave them. The dog got long walks first thing in the mornings, and our cat developped quite a crush on her, lounging on her shoulders purring loudly when she sat in the LR. We know because she sent us photos. Joelle is reliable, honest, and hard working. We trust her; you can too!

Our dog Nora loves her time spent with Joelle! She’s excellent at following our care instructions and we feel confident trusting her to watch Nora.
