Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible and make them safe and reduce stress while you're away. I'll let them take the lead as we get to know each other.

Information Jolene T. would like to know about your pet

No detail is too small. If your pet only drinks from a certain bowl, likes their treats broken in half, or has a favorite nap spot, I want to know! For cats, I'd especially like to know about hiding spots, litter box preferences, and how they prefer to interact with new people. For dogs, information about leash manners, recall, triggers, and favorite walking routes is always helpful.

A typical day

For cats: wand toy play sessions, laser pointer games, ball and mouse toy chasing, cuddle time and gentle chin and tail scratches as they like. Brushing and grooming (if they enjoy that). For dogs: walks around the neighborhood for some good sniffs, fetch, yard playtime, cuddles and belly rubs, light jogging for active dogs (if appropriate).

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for pets of all sizes: from large malamutes and energetic huskies to cats, rabbits, fish, and even turtles. I have experience with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and care needs, and I take pride in following your care instructions exactly as requested. If your pet requires a specialized diet, medication, extra patience, or simply their favorite play routine, I'll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve. During visits, I'll provide plenty of attention and playtime, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes, tidy up any messes, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

Jolene is one of my most trusted sitters. My cats, who are usually skittish around strangers, absolutely adore when she comes to care for them. I love receiving the daily pet pics when I’m away and I always come home to happy and well cared for kitties. Jolene is also great about my cats’ odd feeding routine and goes above and beyond to make sure they always had fresh water and clean litter. I no longer live in the same area but if I did I would still turn to Jolene every time. Thanks for all the care with Figgy and Mabel!

Jolene helped me with my kitties and dog while I was away on a trip. She was amazing! She was on time and my animals were well cared for. I came home to a happy family.

Jolene is an amazing pet mom. I've never known anyone as loving of her pets and animal friends. She takes fantastic care of her two beautiful indoor cats, regularly looks after my cats, and advocates for good care for dogs too. She's an ethical vegetarian too: care for non-human animals has been core to her life for all the years I've known her.

Jolene gave my two cats all the TLC I could have hoped for, and I especially appreciate how responsive she was to making sure my older cat got his medication. He could be difficult in the best of circumstances, and I was impressed by the level of trust she engendered. I’d absolutely enlist her care again.
