Information Jolene D. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs but my limitations currently are : - No severe drooling/slobber - No excessively aggressive dogs (biting people or other animals; excessive barking) - Needs to be house trained (Cannot have a dog that eats furniture or goes to the bathroom in the house constantly)

A typical day

I give what your dog needs. Some are more energetic and like to be out for long walks/run in the dog park for a few hours while others are content with a small walk around the block a couple of times a day. I care for them like they are my own and I have never had an owner concerned that their pet wasn't getting the attention/love they needed.

Trusted Sitter w/ 100% Happy Tails!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a trusted Rover sitter for over 7 years, proudly maintaining a perfect 5-star rating and many happy repeat clients. Having grown up with pets and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, I understand how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live close to MIA, the lakes and a short walk to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden - favourite spots for walks and weekend adventures that keep pets happy and engaged. I host only one pet at a time to ensure personalized, attentive care, and I send daily photo and message updates so you can travel or work stress-free knowing your pet is happy, safe, and thriving. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a weekend away, you can count on consistent, loving care from a long-time sitter you can truly trust!

Jolene took great care of our cat for a week. Miah seemed right at home with her. Jolene was also a prompt communicator and was flexible for midday drop off. Would definitely reach out again in the future

Jolene was amazing!! We went abroad for our wedding and Jolene came to the rescue of our Frankie girl. She sent plenty of updates and photos to keep our anxiety at bay! She was in great care and we could tell Frankie had a great time. Will absolutely be using Jolene again the future!

Jolene is as great. She was able to watch our goldendoodle with only a day’s notice. Great communicator and took great care of our dog. He had a great time! Would absolutely recommend Jolene and will book again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
