Pet care experience

Caring, responsive, detailed

I have specialized in pet and house sitting at the dogs or cats environment. I am open to other pets too. I have watched multiple pets too in one home at the same time. I have given medicine too. All the dogs and cats I sit for are open to me and like to see me. They keep their normal eating behaviors, are happy and attended to. I handle the normal needs for pets, listen well to any specifics for them, and provide my experience to care for them. I have a background in healthcare too so that gives me knowledge for animals for their basic body functioning. I can monitor breathing or know if something is not right. Also, some experience I have is as an adult, baby, and child caregiver. This can help with any interactions pets have with the community if need be. I keep everything clean and I am conscious about homes, or pet things and needs. I have referrals and can discuss more details too.

Safety, trust & environment

I can watch pets in their homes, either to stop in for a period of time or sleep overnight for extended stays. I can transport pets too in desired. I am very mindful and protective over someone’s home and things. I lock doors, leave things how I found it or pick up if need be, turn off lights. I can be good at having it safe for pets with keeping food out of sight or other things pets get into. I can also bring in mail, take out garbages, change liter boxes or pick up in the yard, and more. I keep communication open as well.

Joleen was great with our pups! She was very responsive and we felt so comfortable leaving them in her care.

Joleen was wonderful with our home AND our two pups during our week away. Great communication and made us (and our dogs!) very comfortable. Hoping to be able to have Joleen as our more permanent pup (and home) sitter when needed.

My dogs Tank and Harley have voted and Joleen is the only person they want to watch them😂😂 This is the first time we met Joleen and to 10 minutes ago when we got home, she had Kris and I at easy and the dogs loved her!

Joleen did an excellent job taking care of my giant breed dog, cat, and home while I was away. It was so nice to be gone with piece of mind knowing things were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Joleen and use her again!
