Pet care experience

I love all animals! Unfortunately allergic to cats, but I’m here for the pups! I’ve sat dogs for friends and neighbors many times over the past couple of years. Boarding for long vacations as well. I also have a small schnauzer who loves company!

Jo was great at taking care of both Buddy and Bruno! She was very flexible with last minute scheduling and sent us a bunch of updates throughout of the boys throughout the day. Would love to have her host them again!

Our mini poodle Louie did so well over the week he spent with Jo. We received daily updates and pics on how he was getting on. Jo was really flexible, responsive and accommodating in arrangements for our meet and greet, then drop-off and pick-up. Her neighborhood has nice areas for walks and is pretty quiet for a city location. Best of all, Jo is kind and caring. Would be happy to have our Louie stay with her again!

Jo was wonderful. My little alabaster who is about 11 months was with her for 11 days and he came back full of energy and as sweet as ever. They sent me pictures each day of him playing and lounging with her pup Luna. So adorable. At first, Luna was a little put off by alabaster, but over a few hours she warmed up to him to the point that they cuddled and slept together many nights (so adorable). Could not recommend Jo more :) she will be my future sitter of Alabaster anytime I leave.

Information Jo R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I will do everything I can to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy during their stay with us!

A typical day

We typically start our day with a nice walk in the trail, then the pups lounge and play while I work :) During lunch, we’ll take a longer walk and and play games, pups will check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and check out the dog park in the complex or others nearby. If your dog likes to jog, I will be happy to take them for a few laps. If they prefer short walks VS long walks, I am always happy to adjust their needs.
