Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During dog walks, I ensure your pup stays secure on a leash, follows your preferred routes, and avoids any potential hazards. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, playtime, and any special care needs, while keeping a close eye on their environment to ensure it’s safe and clean. I pay close attention to details, such as double-checking doors and gates, monitoring your pet’s behavior, and providing updates to keep you informed. Trust is essential, and I’m committed to treating your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.

Information Joleen C. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your pet feels right at home, it’d be great to know a few things upfront, like any medical needs, allergies, or dietary restrictions they have. Let me know about their personality, favorite activities, and anything that might make them nervous, as well as their usual routines for meals, walks, and playtime. If there are specific ways you’d like me to handle certain situations or if your pet needs extra attention for behavioral quirks, just say the word, I’m happy to help! Lastly, don’t forget to share emergency contacts and vet info so I can keep your fur baby safe and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk to give your pet some exercise and fresh air. Afterward, they can relax at home while I tidy up and prepare their meal. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy some playtime, whether it’s a visit to the dog park, a game of fetch, or simply exploring the backyard. By evening, we’ll wind down with a calm environment, a final meal, and plenty of attention to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. Every activity is tailored to your pet’s needs and preferences, ensuring they have a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free day.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Joleen, a devoted animal lover with over 12 years of experience as a pet parent to my schnoodle, Donut. From puppyhood to his golden years, I’ve learned the ins and outs of pet care, including training, senior care, and creating a safe, loving environment. Donut has taught me so much, like how to be patient, attentive, and always ready for a walk or a fun trick session (he’s a pro at sitting, rolling over, and shaking paws!). Having a pet is a true blessing, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your fur baby like family. I ensure that your fur baby is safe by paying close attention to them and attending to their needs when necessary. I’ll also monitor their environment to make sure they feel secure and protected. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, practicing tricks, or simply providing a comforting presence, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
