A tired dog is a happy dog!

Pet care experience

I've lived with family dogs for most of my life. I adopted Jax in June 2014 and I know from first hand experience that dogs do best when they are stimulated physically and mentally. Our huge backyard allows the dogs to spend the day running around and burning off their energy so they can be good dogs for me while they're in my care and you once they're returned to you. Because a tired dog will always be a happy dog. I also have experience with fearful dogs and understand animal behavior pretty well. Dogs will exhibit signs of distress or excitement before they react to something. And I understand that everyone needs time to get used to something before they behave the way we want. All dogs are different but they all deserve our love and patience, because that's exactly what they give us.

This was our second time booking with Jo-Anne and everything went great! Our pup was well looked after. We will be rebooking often in the future!

Jo-Anne was great with our senior dog! She sent us many pictures and updates each day. Our dog warmed up to her very quickly and she made the experience a positive one.

Jo-Anne watched our dog while we away and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jo-Anne is a great communicator and we felt like our dog was in great hands. Have already scheduled her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all dogs like they were my own. My dog takes time to warm up to strangers so I know that some dogs need space to get comfortable with you. I don't force any dogs to allow me to pet them or invade their space more than they want but if they want/need affection then we can cuddle until they've had enough and wanna move on to the next thing.

Information Jo-Anne A. would like to know about your pet

How friendly is your dog towards strangers, other animals, loud noises, cars? Does your dog like to play fetch and spend a few hours running around or does he prefer to nap all day? Does he graze on his food all day or inhale it at meal times?

A typical day

I like long walks in the morning to start the day off right and I'm happy to play fetch until my arm falls off. If you have a backyard then we'll probably be out there as much as possible.
