Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets home away from home
Hi! I’m Ioanna (e-oh-ah-nah). I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and after losing my dog Oreo at 14, I realized how much warmth and joy animals bring into a home. That’s why caring for other people’s pets has become so meaningful to me, I get to pour that love right back into your dog. I’m working toward my dream of opening my own dog facility: a safe, modern, high-vibe space where pups get the perfect mix of comfort, enrichment, and fun. Every dog I meet inspires and shapes that vision, and I truly hope we continue working together long into the future as this dream becomes reality. • I have my own vehicle for easy pick-up and drop-off. • I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and everything in between. • Whether your pup needs couch cuddles, mile-long adventures, medicine, or patience—I match their energy and give them the love they deserve. • Daily updates, photos & videos so you always feel close With me, your dog gets more than care, they get a home-away-from-home. Please note: Because I live in an apartment and want to be respectful of my neighbors, I’m not able to accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety or persistent barking when left alone. I completely understand how challenging this can be, and I’m always happy to help connect you with trusted sitters I work with who can provide in home house sitting if that’s a better fit. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care and the environment around them stays calm, safe, and comfortable.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ioanna stayed with our two standard poodles in our home for 10 nights. She sent photos and videos several times daily, and the dogs were always happy and playful. We appreciated that Ioanna checked in about an eating concern with one of the dogs, and she asked great questions before and during her stay. We came home to a neat house and happy dogs. We look forward to hiring Ioanna for future vacations.
Great communication, great photos, and always a very easy experience with Ioanna! Until next time!
Ioanna was great with Chance. She kept us updated with photos, looked like he had a great time!
Great dog sitter over Memorial Day weekend! Both of our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the entire time. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It's obvious how much they genuinely love dogs. I came home to two relaxed, happy pups.
Ioanna has been amazing with her recurring walks! Our dog loves her and we know she is in great hands with Ioanna!
We're always thrilled when Ioanna can look after our dog! We know he gets plenty of love and attention and we're pretty sure he likes her more than us. Thank you, as always!

Schedule
A typical day with me starts with morning cuddles and breakfast, followed by neighborhood walks to explore new smells and sights. After plenty of exercise and playtime, we wind down at home with cozy couch cuddles, rest, and gentle attention. I do this full-time, and sometimes, when it’s a good match, we plan pup playdates with my boyfriend’s clients dogs for extra walks, safe socialization, and fun. I’ll also send updates, photos, and videos throughout the day so you can see your pup happy, safe, and thriving.

Safety, trust & environment
They’ll never be completely off lead - I have a 100ft leash I like to use to allow pups to roam + play in enclosed fields.
A typical day
A typical day with me starts with exploring every new smell in the neighborhood, followed by a stop at the dog park to burn off that happy energy. If your pup loves adventure, we’ll hit the trails, go for a run, or even take a bike ride—don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of cute videos. After all the excitement, we wind down with well-earned R&R: soft blankets, cozy cuddles, and a peaceful, happy pup.
