Attentive, caring, and empathetic.

Pet care experience

Our family has always had dogs, cats, fish, and the random hamster as a part of our family. We've taken in many strays while living in the country, raised litters of puppies, and have experience with small and large breeds. I can't help but to try to see the world through their eyes and do what I can to make sure they are living life to the fullest. My 3 year old Chiweenie gets a home cooked meal for breakfast and dinner because I imagined how awful it must be to have a keen sense of smell and have to eat kibble while your people eat delicious dinners you could only dream of eating. I also care very much about her health and she eats human quality food on a daily basis. Our Chiweenie has special needs and is learning to use a wheelchair until she can have surgery to correct her luxating patella. I have a soft spot for special needs animals and am patient and accomodating. My daughters are animal lovers and are looking forward to having their own pet sitting business someday. They are looking forward to joining me on our afternoon walks. I have many years of customer service experience and am as good with people as I am with pets. I am professional and considerate and will take great care of your pet.

Joan is awesome!! She was super extraordinary to my dog, making her part of Joan's family during her stay. Joan's daughters are THE most adorable! Talk about my dog being spoiled! I don't know many pet moms who make their dog home-cooked meals but Joan does! She's also a great photographer. She should be a professional! With so many things that were on my mind it was nice that the safety of my Troi was not one of them. Thanks Joan!!!!! : ) You rock!!

Joan was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our furry friends were thriving. She sent pictures and let us know if there was any odd/strange behavior. The cats were played with and very content upon our return. She even helped to water the plants and clean up after any accidents! Honestly, the best cat sitter we've ever had not just on Rover, but in general. She's super sweet and would definitely book her again if needed!

Joan was great and helped out in a pinch for a family vacation! My cat is normally pretty social with most people (in that he doesn't run away from others like some other cats do) and he honestly seemed to prefer her a bit more than me for this visit. I don't consider my cat "sweet" all of the time, but Joan had no issues in making sure he had daily drop-in care (and provided arguably professional-grade photos after every visit!). Will definitely try to reach out to her again if there are any instances that require me to be away from home - a great sitter!

While caring for your pet in your home I will adhere to their usual schedule and prescribed treatment. I will be very respectful of your home and make sure I leave without a trace. I'm happy to clean up any mischievous messes the pets make in your absence.

Information Joan P. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs, please let me know so I can make sure we are able to accommodate them. Our Chiweenie has luxating patella in both rear legs so we are accustomed to the extra attention some dogs require. If timing of the visit is critical please let know.

A typical day

We will explore the neighborhood and practice any commands they are learning. If your dog is fully of energy and needs a bit of extra stimulation we can go for a hike.
