Availability

My schedule is flexible, so send me a text to let me know what your special furry one’s care needs are! I have the most availability for doing walks, and drop in care visits, each day. I am also flexible, with cancellations, as I know that life happens, and plans can change unexpectedly. I currently have a Rover next day cancellation policy, but if something unexpected happens, feel free to text me, as soon as possible, and let me know. We have so many things now contributing to folks’ travel plans changing, as they fly/travel to other parts of the U.S. and beyond, so I try to be a normal and empathetic person about that, as I know my own travel plans have even had to change last minute, and I find it super annoying when I’ve hired Rover sitters myself, who have ridiculous cancellation policies (and Rover allows this, for whatever reason).

Safety, trust & environment

I take A LOT of photos, and try to maintain constant communication, with pet parents, during drop in visits and pet walks. I’m flexible, and pay attention to your special furry children’s needs and what your dog, horse, or cat, says that they want to do. I try to keep the same normal routines, for your pet, that they are used to and enjoy, as I know this provides a lot of animal’s comfort, when they are already worried about their owner(s) being away. I know that it is a serious responsibility taking care of someone else’s pet (baby), just as I feel the same way when someone else takes care of one of my babies. Many pets are stressed when their families are away, so I always keep this in mind.

Information Joyelle L. would like to know about your pet

My client's pets are treated the same as mine! Everyone is a member of the pack. Please let me know if you would like me to feed your horse, dog, or cat, during drop in visits, and before, or after walks. I also dispense meds to a lot of my client’s pets. I’m big on belly rubs, so let me know where they liked to be scratched the most, because who doesn’t like a good back scratch! I also like to know if grain free treats are okay, as I love to spoil everyone with delicious, healthy treats. I will also grab your mail, on drop in visits, and water your plants, and open and close your blinds, so it looks like you are still home, to the rest of the world, or whatever homeowners prefer, while they are gone.

A typical day

If I have to run an errand, the dogs always ride in the car with me, so I will have to find out if you are comfortable with your dog riding along, or if you would prefer that your dog be temporarily kenneled, if I have to leave the house briefly, or they can just hang out, on my bed, and take a nap, if you are okay with that, too, for a short while. My dogs, of course, always insist on riding along! I love doing any kind of walkies! I like to take pets on walks that are interesting and exciting, for them. I allow plenty of sniff time, as this has been proven to be absolutely important for your dog’s mental state, and well being. I like to find out, in advance, what type of activities, your pet loves to do, and what kind of play that your pet likes to do every day, as this will help immensely in keeping things normal, and fun, while you are gone.

The Best Critter Care—Dogs & Horses

Pet care experience

Your pet will love hanging out with me, and rest assured that your little furry ones will not feel alone. I love doing walks and drop in visits, they are super fun! Your pet will be well taken care of, with me at all times, and receive tons of attention, and lots of treats and one-on-one time! Conveniently located, in Grantsburg, WI, gateway to Crex Meadows. I specialize in, and really love, taking care of all horses and dogs. For dogs, especially pit bulls, and any of the bully breeds and crosses, but any breed is welcomed with open arms (and lots of doggy kisses). Please view my profile to read about my own dog, a purebred American Staffordshire Terrier, named Maya, who is almost fourteen years old and still running around like a young pup, sometimes. I am also a former dog foster, and volunteer, with Save-A-Bull Rescue, and Carver Scott Humane Society. I grew up, on a farm, in Wisconsin, taking care of my own dogs, cats, horses, mules, chickens, pigs, and cows. At one time, when I was very young, I had twenty-two cats, that I loved, and took care of, on our family farm.

Joyelle was awesome. She took great care of our dog bea. Long walks and play. Very good communications with pictures everyday. Four days and bea hardly knew we were gone. Just outstanding care. And the house was well taken care of too. I highly recommend Joyelle.

We can't thank Joyelle enough! KShe took wonderful care of our dog, walking, playing & interacting with her with her favorite toys. Inclusive of sending us numerous daily updates and pictures. When we arrived home we could tell our dog was happy and had been well cared for. She left our home exactly as we left it. We will definitely seek out her services again. Highly recommended Joyelle!

Joyelle does an amazing job taking care of our pups and house! We get lots of adorable pics of our pups and my house has never been so organized. :) We couldn't recommend Joyelle more!
