Solo Mature Conscientious Nonsmoker

41, Operations Professional and Yoga Teacher

I am a former health care operations professional, excited to travel again this summer and fall. I am available starting in late August.

I have experience caring for cats and dogs, and love the pets I get the opportunity to meet. (The charming cat in my photos climbed onto my shoulders for a nap!)

I have basic gardening skills - can water and prune plants, and can even harvest if necessary.

I am responsible, reliable, tidy, and easy to communicate with.

My kitties enjoyed Janelle and seemed perfectly happy for the 3 weeks I was away. When I returned my apartment was just as I left it. Thanks Janelle, I hope you had a good time is San Diego.

No rating It was great to have Janelle stay at my house and sit my two pets. She is very calm and kind - my kids both connected with her.
YULING ( Georgia, Dec 2019)
No rating This was our first time using a house sitter and Janelle made us very comfortable leaving our 2 cats with her. She was very familiar with cats and their behaviors and they warmed up to her very quickly. While we were gone PGE turned off our power for about 39 hours and she dealt with it like a trooper. She saved most of our food in the frig and dealt with the smoke detectors when they went off when the power was shut off and then turned back on. Obviously more than she bargained for when she ...

No rating We feel very lucky that we found Janelle to stay in our home with our two lab/pitt mutts! She made us feel comfortable to leave her in charge from the moment we met. And even better, the dogs seemed right at home with her almost immediately as well! She texted us pics of the dogs while we were gone, and went way beyond the call of duty with our male dog. As it turned out, we got news from our vet the day we left that the lump on his side was indeed, cancer. Janelle was on it! She drove to the ... MORE

No rating Janelle took great care of our dog and townhouse during the 2 weeks that she was visiting. She is easy to communicate with and a perfect companion for our border terrier while we were away.
FELIX (Seattle Washington, May 2019)
No rating Janelle was just what we needed for our 10 day vacation. She gave our cats not only their meals, but much care and love too. The house was warm and clean when we arrived, and the neighbors were pleased to meet a new visitor to our area. I would recommend Janelle for anyone who needs a caring house sitter. We would be happy to have her sit again if her schedule permits.

No rating Janelle took such great care of our home and 2 dogs while we were on vacation! This was our first time using House Sitters America and we had a stress free holiday knowing that everything was being taken care of. Janelle kept us up to date with pictures of our pets and we could tell the dogs had a great time and missed her once we came home. Thanks Janelle!
ERICA ( Colorado, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Janelle took wonderful care of our house plants and all the garden vegetables and herbs. Even did some weeding! Our home was spotless when we returned. Thanks Janelle.
