Pet care experience
Our Pets Bring Us Joy
I have grown up with a variety of pets and since 16 years of age, I have taken care of my own pets, fosters who I have rescued, and many others. I want to be able to meet more furry friends as I find joy in seeing them thrive and be taken care of! I am experienced in: ~ Taking care of several breeds of dogs, both puppies and seniors. I have taken care of Vislas, Doodles, Labradors, Havaneses, Corgis, bully breeds, Daschunds and many mixed breeds. ~ Cats - fostering, rescuing, and owning (experience specified in the cat care section) ~ Rex Rabbit - I used to own a rex rabbit (she was gifted to someone else who could not take care of her and I took her in). I am aware of the clean up, feeding, changing of water, and moods rabbits can have. My Experienced Services: ~ Walking, brushing, efficiently scheduling stopping in for potty breaks, administering medicine, feeding, cleaning up bedding/pets personal space, and caring for multiple animals at a time ~ I love to run (but not the most skilled) especially with high energy dogs who enjoy running/hiking. ~ I am a big proprietor of communication and organization, I will send photos of your pets every day of the scheduled timeframe (unless asked not to) and will provide a short report about the service and how your furry friend did during our specified time. ~ If you have a reactive dog, I MUST know beforehand and discuss with you on what the dog is reactive to as well as my conditions in walking the dog before we book any time. Any withholding of critical information about reactivity is automatically the owner's responsibility to all liability for any damage or injury and could lead to disengagement of current and future services.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer services in my own home as I am leasing, however, all services provided for your pet and home are approached with care and safety in mind. ~ There is too high of a risk to bring dogs into a dog park/ socialize with other dogs, unless the owner specifies dogs that are on the "safe" list so I usually skip this. ~ All food, treats, and toys are under the owners guidance/ approval to give (no new/ unapproved items will be given). ~ I do request if the owner has a specific emergency vet or emergency contact, in case something happens and I have to take your furry friend to be checked on. ~ I lock up every time I leave the house and I am happy to use a security system if the owner requests.
Ratings and reviews
Jolene was incredible with our dog! She was great at communicating and was very intentional with our dog. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Always a pleasure having Jolene look after the pups!
This is the 3rd or 4th time Jolene has taken care of my dogs for me. She does an excellent job. She sends a lot of pictures and notes. The best part is the dogs look really happy in the pictures so I can tell they’re comfortable with her.
I had to change dates a couple of times and Jolene was super flexible. The dogs like her and she provides great notes/pics from her visits! It’s great to know that there’s someone nearby who can check on my dogs while I’m gone.
She’s the best! My first go to. 💝
Excellent communication before, during, and after the visit. She did everything I asked and took so many pictures for me. I will absolutely be booking with her again (if my dogs didn’t drive her away lol).

Schedule
I currently work remotely as an administrative assistant and am in a master's program online, so I am pretty flexible in scheduling. I will collaborate with you on what would work best for both parties on all drop ins, house sits, or walking appointments.
