Pet care experience

Full-time care, fenced yard

I have had many years of experience raising and babysitting for dogs. I go above and beyond to care for my dogs. I am active: I run, hike, paddleboard, garden, and swim. I would tailor my dog sitting and babysitting style to match your dog's activity level and age. I've raised puppies and older dogs. I can administer medications and care for special needs dogs. My family is also experienced with dogs. My two children (ages 12 and 15) are dog savvy and dog lovers. I have cared for my own dog who was very ill for many years and have experience with senior dogs who need special attention. I welcome all dogs, young and old, big and small to our home Let me spoil your dog!

Joellen was great and so accommodating. She even let my dogs sleep in her bed, gave me such peace of mind. Hope to use her again very soon.

Joellen is amazing. I would highly recommend her! She watched our 3 month old puppy, Gunner, while I went on vacation and she was amazing. Gunner is a great dog but also a puppy that requires time and attention and she did exactly that. She took him on a daily adventure and sent bunch of pictures. You could see Gunner was happy and comfortable with her. She loved him as if he was her own. We will absolutely be using her again.

JoEllen was an excellent sitter!!! She treated our pup as part of her family. They were very active and engaged.she provided pictures and updates daily while we were away. I would definitely have Louis stay with her again and encourage anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family have JoEllen sit them.

Joellen was an exceptional pet sitter for my pup, Ellie! She took wonderful care of my girl and made sure she was entertained with playtime/trips to park and beach. She sent lots of photo updates and was very reliable with booking the stay a few months in advance. Would certainly have Ellie stay with her again in the future!

I can’t recommend JoEllen enough. From the moment of our meet/greet you could see her genuine care and love for animals. Enzo loved her from the minute she welcomed us into her home, which is immaculately clean by the way. She updated us with so many photos of their time together. She took him to explore and enjoy different beaches and parks as well as her beautiful backyard. My husband and I have never left one of our dogs with anyone but family before, let alone our 4month old Rottweiler puppy. She gave us complete peace of mind and made us all feel like family. She is extremely professional, caring and reliable. We were so excited to pick him up we missed him so much, but he was so happy and content and wanted to stay even longer lol He also smelt amazing from the bath she gave him. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her the next time we need to go out of town.
