Caring, Responsible, Experienced

Pet care experience

Now, I was raised around dogs and have cared for a variety of animal friends. When my friends need a dog sitter, they know who to call--me! Big or small, I love them all! I'm becoming a sitter to follow my love of dogs into something of a career. I love how each of them has their own individual personality and they provide their families with unconditional love. They say if you want love, get a dog, and I agree. My watchful and calming nature helps my canine clients adjust to their family being away. It can be an anxious time for any dog--they're busy wondering where their humans are. I love them and treat them like my own. I am also quite adaptable and can adjust to your dog's needs. If you're dog needs to be walked a certain way, not a problem. Is your Pomeranian a little persnickety? Your Shiba Inu a little shy? Your Airedale really active? No problem. I can accommodate the needs of any pup. Just let me know! My previous experiences have mostly ranged for small to medium-sized dogs, but I make no exception. Big dogs need love too! I'm very excited to meet other dog lovers (and dogs) and want to help out in my community. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or want to set up a meet and greet! Please also note that prices are marked for NIGHTS ONLY. If your pet is someone that requires near-constant attention (i.e. cannot be alone for >2 hours), then there is a day charge of an additional $45. Your respect for this is greatly appreciated. I'm currently now working a part-time job, now making it easier for walks throughout the day. If your animal needs some extra love throughout the day, I'd be happy to accommodate. While I can't sit for others' pets in my own home, I am more than happy to ensure absolute comfort and care within an environment they know. I will ask that you give me instructions to their regular/daily routines to ensure that they don't miss anything -- except maybe you! I send photos daily and update any change in status. However, do keep in mind I am not a photographer lol.

Jo was excellent. She left our house better than it was before she arrived. Our dogs were clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Jo for house sitting!

We are grateful to Jo for accepting our request rather last minute. Then our dates changed a couple times and she was super flexible and able to accommodate. She even came to the house every day during her lunch break to check on Emma. When we first inquired about Jo sitting for us, she offered to come by right away to meet Emma. Jo is great and we can tell she is easy going. We highly recommend her and have already booked her for our next scheduled vacation in May.

Information Jo F. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog on leash? Does s/he require A LOT of attention, as in they're mischievous? Do they chew on things? Are they adverse to other animals/humans? How well do they get along with others? How big or small is your dog? What are their food requirements? Do they have any medical conditions? Medication? How excitable is s/he? What are they frightened of, if at all? How well disciplined are they? Have they gone to obedience school? These are simply some of the questions I ask. Every dog is different, and every dog needs care as unique as they are!

A typical day

Let me know about nearby parks or places that your dog loves. What are their favorite toys? Activities? Do they enjoy going to cafes and people watching? Or would they prefer a rousing afternoon of fetch? Is there an aunt or uncle they like to visit? The only limitations are those that business establishments have in place.
