Jovelle can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

Pet care is my primary line of work so I have plenty of flexibility. Pick-up and drop-off times can be anytime between 7am and 11pm, and since I stay with the pups all day, I can be reached on the phone at all times. Additionally, I know that sometimes travel plans get interrupted—whether that's airline delays or traffic jams or anything else. I keep a buffer zone of one day between all bookings so that I can accommodate extensions.

Safety, trust & environment

All boarding and day care bookings are constant care—your pup will never be left home alone and I'll always be supervising. Because I have two dogs of my own, I can only care for dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I'm also happy to keep them separated via a gate (or in a separate room) if you feel your pup would be more comfortable with that. Otherwise, they are welcome to roam. The only area that is gated off is the kitchen to avoid accidental ingestion of anything unhealthy, and the dogs are always kept separated at meal time.

Information Jovelle A. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know any health concerns, dietary restrictions, allergies, etc.—anything to keep your dog healthy! I would also love to know about anything you feel would help them settle in better, whether that's offering treats, playtime, or going on walks together. I do my best for the dogs to be as comfortable as possible in a new environment

A typical day

I live very close to a quiet park with a large grassy field for daily walks—and if your pup is up for it, I also live near Race Street Pier and Penn's Landing for longer walks. For time spent within the apartment, I have a drawer full of toys that all the dogs are welcome to: balls, ropes, plushies, and a snuffle mat (as long as you're okay with me giving them treats!). They are also welcome to curl up on the bed, couches, and wherever they please—the only area that is gated off is the kitchen. That said, I've noticed all the dogs I've cared for have claimed ownership of the bean bag chair within hours of arriving

Pet care experience

My very first experience with pet care was at 12 years old, when I finally got the puppy (Jambo) I had begged my parents for since I was eight. Jambo, a shih tzu-poodle mix, is an old boy now, living with my parents—and since raising and training him I've gone on to care for Beagles, Yorkies, Labrador puppies, senior Malteses, Border Collie mixes, and more. Whatever breed and age your pup is, I'm happy to care for them too!

Jovelle is a dream! My dogs LOVED her and got excited when they realized it walk time. She was so helpful and made an unforeseen stressful situation so easy for me!!
