Safety, trust & environment

I make sure dogs are comfort with me before moving forward. Trust must be built with respect and patience. The response of the animal communicates their level of trust.

Information Jolene H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs or behaviors to be accommodated. For dogs 50+ pounds, it is important for them to be leash trained and non-reactive for the safety of both of us.

A typical day

The energy level of the dog dictates the activities. A sniff stroll through the neighborhood can be calming. A brisk walk covering several miles or fetch in the backyard use excess energy. Other times scratches behind the ears are exactly what’s needed.

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats have been beloved members of my family since I was a child. I have no problem walking in the summer heat! I’m a native Austinite.

Jolene was wonderful! Very communicative, took great care of our boys and left our house looking just like when we left. I’m so appreciative of her, she made our week long vacation stress free!

Jolene was great with my pup and kitty. My dog has some health issues and Jolene medicated him and kept to his schedule like instructed. She was loving and kind to my animals and they were not that excited when I got home!

Jolene was fantastic, she helped me out last minute and took great pictures/updates! Not only that but she got my antisocial/shy kitties out of their comfort zone which is unheard of!! Thank you again Jolene!
