“Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.”


About: What sets me apart from others is my hands-on experience and deep dedication to animal care. I work at a doggie daycare where I care for up to 45 dogs at a time, both big and small. My responsibilities include supervising them indoors and outdoors, ensuring they get plenty of playtime and fresh air, tending to their daily needs like feeding, watering, and administering medication when necessary, and even managing their individual schedules. I also take photos of the dogs for social media, capturing their personalities and moments throughout the day. Outside of work, I care for my own dogs—Paco, Bella, and Hedwig, as well as regularly petsit my sister’s senior Miniature Pinscher, Roman. My life revolves around dogs, and I treat each one with the love and attention I give my own pets. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work at a doggie daycare five days a week—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1 to 7 PM—where I care for a large number of dogs and manage their needs. Before or after work, I’m available to walk dogs, do drop-in visits, play with them, feed them, or simply let them out for a break. At home, I have three dogs of my own, and their care is part of my everyday life. I make sure they’re walked, fed breakfast and dinner, and given lots of attention—whether that’s playing fetch with the energetic one or snuggling with the others. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s a lifestyle I’m fully committed to. I don’t offer pet boarding in my home because one of my dogs is older and prefers a quiet, familiar environment without other animals or new people. Instead, I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine is kept as normal as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’ll take care of it with attention and care. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to and from your home is never an issue.

“I'm thankful for the reliable and friendly service. Kaileigh followed all the instructions I provided and made sure my cat was well-fed and comfortable during my absence.”



“Sandy is wonderful and my pooch Lucie loves when she comes to visit! You can expect activity updates and pictures from each drop in, which really helps set the mind at ease! Would highly recommend!”

“Staff was a fantastic sitter and took great care of our two sphinx cats while we were on vacation. She kept in continual contact, administered medications when they were required, and spent extra time with our cats. It is clear that Steff enjoys the company of pets. She was punctual and went the extra mile when our plans were changed at short notice and beyond our control. We cannot recommend Steff highly enough.”
