Rescue Experienced, Doggie Mom
Pet care experience
I’m a positively energetic woman and, as a pet sitter, my focus is on caring for your fur babies. Next time you need an extra hand with your dogs or cats, contact me. I own a reliable car and, besides my two dogs, I don’t have children to tend to so my schedule is extremely flexible on weekends and weekday evenings. I’m also able to overnight at your home whenever needed. I have been a pet mom for 16 years and my husband and I love our fur babies. I have experience with different breeds and sizes since I used to foster parent for Angels Among Us Pet Rescue. My two dogs were adopted from that rescue organization, and I have never met a dog or cat I don’t love! I have experience dog sitting for clients in GA and Florida, and if you book me, you may contact them for references. Just ask me for their names and phone numbers. I have traveled to housesit/petsit in FL for several years where I used to help out a real estate professional who travels a few times a year. She is one of my references who can be contacted upon request. I used to stay at their house 24/7 and take care of 3 medium dogs and 4 cats for up to two weeks sometimes, while I also care for the house and collect mail. I will protect your fur baby as I protect mine, so I prefer to use secure leash/harnesses while on walks. If you don’t have a harness and leash for your fur baby, I will provide a soft harness leash, which is rescue-foster-parent approved. I require your pet to have UTD vet records and a secure collar with ID tags at all times. This requirement protects your fur babies and helps all of us within our communities. Puppies who aren’t yet old enough for full shots get a pass, of course.
Reviews
Joelma takes great care of my boys while I am away. She is a great communicator and I have peace of mind
Joelma was wonderful with our dog. She was very reliable and dependable. We received daily photos and updates. Joelma would be my first choice to watch my dog in the future.
Joelma is a wonderful pet sitter! Very honest and great with big dogs.
Thank you for my boys (and ducks) while we were away and Thank you for the pictures. Everything was great when we arrived home. We appreciate the care you take.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with a variety of breeds through either dog sitting or fostering rescued dogs. I have 2 dogs, April BlueSky and Aria Tempest, and Aria is a bit selective and reactive to other animals. Thus, I prefer to dog sit or cat sit at my client’s homes where your fur babies are used to their environment and they can keep to their own routines.
Information Joelma S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed nor age preference. However, I am unable to care for dogs bigger than 100lbs who pull hard while on a leash, if they have good leash manners, then, we are good to go. I always do a “meet and greet”before bookings to ensure I’m a good match for your pets. I often bring my husband to meet and greets for the same reason.
A typical day
I am able to walk your dogs, play fetch, or cuddle on the sofa or the floor for a calming time. I am not high maintenance, so I can easily make myself comfortable at my clients’s home where they are most comfortable too. I also enjoy long walks!

I live in North Ormond-By-The-Sea, FL. I work at Daytona State College, but I am available Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu before 7a.m. and after 5p.m.; on Fridays I get off at 12 noon (June/July). I am also off work on most observed Federal Holidays. My husband also helps me with daytime visits, when we pre-arrange for that with my clients. I will not bring anyone to my clients’s houses without permission. Please, check with me for specific dates and times and we will likely be able to work something out.
