Pet care experience
WFH Sitter w Soft Spot For Shy Pets
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!

Qualifications
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 :)
Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog! Joelle took such amazing care of our 80-pound lab and our home while we were away. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving everything in her hands. She was in communication with us every day, sent us tons of pictures and updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet and home!
Joelle was so amazing and took great care of our kittens! They adore her and we will definitely be having her watch them again!
We are always very happy with Joelle’s care for our senior dog, Nora. We will continue to rebook with her! Thank you
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!
Joelle has been dog sitting for our family anytime we leave town tor a few days or a few weeks! She is trustworthy, great with dogs, and most importantly.. our dogs love her! I highly recommend her to look after your pets! Chris & Marisa
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.

Schedule
I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I can do morning, midday, or evening drop ins and walks, and I’m available for overnight house sitting with plenty of notice or even short notice when my calendar allows. Your pet’s routine stays exactly as they know it.
