Animal loving individual

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life. I currently have 4 cats that are my babies, and I foster both dogs and cats on occasion. My friends trust me to dog and cat sit constantly, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I walk, feed, and spend time with each animal to ensure they are well cared for in their owners absence. I am comfortable with all size dogs and cats with varying special needs.

Jo was so wonderful with my two cats and they both seemed very happy when she dropped in! She showed up exactly on time and stayed in constant contact with me. Very professional. I'm so appreciative of the outstanding service she provided and hope to use her again in the future!

Jo was absolutely wonderful, so sweet and did everything discussed perfectly! My cat is very particular about people and he seemed to warm up to her almost immediately, definitely will be rebooking!!
