Pet care experience

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and reading my profile. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and I’m truly passionate about pets! I’ve volunteered, donated, and adopted at local animal shelters. Previously, I’ve been a dog walker, dog and cat sitter, and doggy day care provider. While I love all dogs, I have a soft spot for smaller breeds. I provide dog walks, dog and cat sitting in your home along with any house care needed when you’re away including overnight pet care, and doggy day care for small breeds only in my home. I can also administer medication if needed. My fur babies have since gone to the rainbow bridge and it would be my honor to take care of your babies as if they were my own. My house is quiet with no other pets or young children. It’s a great place for senior puppers who love sleeping and want to relax!

Jo was patient and kind with our pup who takes a while to warm up to people. She made sure he got his medicine every day. I know he’s not always the easiest dog to be with but she was nothing but positive and patient. Thank you, Jo!

Jo is fantastic! I left my pup Ace with her for over a week. He can be a timid little guy, but he was so happy and comfortable in her care. She’s very attentive and communicative. I always knew how Ace was doing and what he was up to! She has a beautiful and calm home, with everything Ace could need. She really went above and beyond, and I was completely at ease knowing Ace was in such good hands. She was very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed too. Ace will absolutely be staying with Jo again — we both loved her!

Jo was an amazing dog sitter to my ozzy! She gave him so many walks and sent a ton of pictures, which I absolutely loved. She played ball with him and even let him sleep in the bed. You can tell Jo truly has a heart for animals. Thank you Jo, we will definitely be rebooking!

Jo is amazing!! Helped us out when our other pet care fell through for vacation. She welcomed Toby in with open arms and gave him an incredible doggy spa day with tons of walks and naps while we enjoyed our human spa day! Truly a great individual, caring, thorough, and exceptionally nice! Her rate is far too cheap, Jo, you’re amazing!
