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.

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!

I’m so grateful for the last minute help I received! When an unexpected situation came up, she stepped in without hesitation and took wonderful care of my dog. Knowing he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave me the peace of mind I needed to handle everything else. I truly appreciate her reliability and compassion—highly recommend!

Jolene is a wonderful human being with an impeccable reputation in our Austin community. Everyone I know trusts her to watch after and care for their pets when they are out of town or in need of assistance. If you ever need a helping hand with your family's furry friend, you can rest assured that Jolene will be on hand to give them all the love and attention they deserve.

Schedule

Most days I enjoy a walk and it would be great to have a fur-baby companion. I have a flexible schedule and many times am available on short notice.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Jolene can host up to 1 drop-in per day
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.
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.
