My office is 5 mins away from home. My partner works from home during the week and is glad to tag in to help with pet care as needed. Doggy day care or boarding pets will rarely be left alone in the home. On the rare occasion they are home alone, it's for short time periods, one or two hours maximum.

About Jo B.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to host your pet in my home. There's a fully fenced yard and ample grass to roam or run zoomies and take care of business. There's one step up from the yard onto the deck and level entry from deck into the house. There's also a ramp for no-step entry from ground level into the house. Perfect for any pets with limited mobility. It's a single family home in a quiet neighborhood. Pets are welcome on the furniture and there's even space to snuggle up in the bed if they're used to bunking up together at night. Our 8 year old female Yorkie is very dog-friendly and enjoys having company. She's a good playmate if your dog is up for a little tug on a toy or chase in the yard. She's also great at taking hints from dogs when they're done playing or want to be left alone. We would love to welcome you to our home for a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure everyone gets along before confirming your booking.

Information Jo B. would like to know about your pet
Please be in touch if you have any special requests or questions. We'd love to hear about your pet's special tricks, quirky behaviors, likes or dislikes. I will keep a close eye on your fur baby while you're away.
A typical day
I'm game to take your dog on walks around the neighborhood solo or together with mine. We can play fetch or tug in the back yard or putz around the garage working on home projects. Naps are grrreat!

Caring & Professional Pet Care Pro
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Jo and I'll take care of your pet as if they were my own! I have worked as a vet assistant in a veterinarian's office and as the rescue, foster & adoption coordinator at an animal shelter. I have over 25 years of personal experience and 5 years of professional experience taking care of pets of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I have cared for everything from bottle feeding puppies and kittens to geriatric seniors and pets with special needs. I administer meds, injections, insulin and have given IV fluids to cats and dogs with confidence. I will wipe tushies, pick eye boogies, take walkies, and even go for car rides if that's what your pet wants. You name it, I'll do whatever your pet needs to feel like they're at home away from home during their stay.
Reviews
Jo constantly provided updates and pictures. I have never seen my pup look so happy when he stayed with someone else as he did in the photos Jo sent. From the initial meeting, I was comfortable knowing we hit the jackpot with selecting Jo as a sitter. I have already booked his next stay and will continue to do so.
Jo B was awesome with Karsen!!!!
Jo is amazing!! She took both Hadley and CeeCee for the long weekend and they were very well taken care of. CeeCee is a little old lady who is very fearful and needy and she looked happy, well fed, well rested and loved in all of the pictures Jo sent! Hadley absolutely loves Jo and Cricket and he also came home happy!
Jo took wonderful care of Britta while we were out of town. Britta loved playing outside in her large fenced in yard. Jo’s sweet dog Cricket was the perfect playmate for the weekend. Jo was very accommodating when our schedule changed a bit for pick up. Jo made sure to send up plenty of pictures and updates through your Britta’s stay.
