Pet care experience

Your four-leggers home on the park

I’ve shared my home with dogs over the last 18 years and during that time have volunteered with dog rescues and have fostered several dogs and helped them find their forever homes. For the past seven years I have professionally walked, visited dogs and taken dogs to parks to play and retrieve. Each four-legged friend I have had the pleasure to interact with has given me laughter, love and lessons. If your furry friend needs to lounge and take it easy, wants to walk in a park or play with others in my fenced backyard or go play catch at the dog park...I’m here to make our shared experience memorable. If your family friend needs quiet during storms or some extra cuddles before settling down for the night there are bi-level rooms to meet their needs.

Our beagle Sunny was taken care of wonderfully by Joan. She was walked daily and Joan always sent tons of pictures.

Joan provided absolutely fantastic care for our senior cat! She gave lots of updates and clearly made the extra effort to make Gus feel cared for while we were away. She is extremely communicative. Thank you Joan!

Joan was amazing per usual. We were thrilled to get to work with her again. Joan did wonderfully watching over our two little floofy sons. We were very impressed with how happy they seemed and even more so by the fact that she braved the harsh, icy roads to feed and play with them. We will definitely be reaching out to her again and have nothing but the best things to say with regards to the care she provided. Very satisfied.

Joan was excellent. Exceeded expectations by giving treats and playtime, and gave a detailed report each time. She was also patient and flexible when I had forgotten to give her an essential piece of information.

Schedule

I have no work outside my home so my pet care is on a pretty flexible schedule. Morning walks are often the norm with play in the backyard while I work on the green space. In the colder temps we snuggle in and many guests like to survey the activity at the park across the street. The

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard. If your pup likes to chase balls or simply wants to chase the squirrels….there is room for them to run. My furry family member is use to AM walks and your furry family member is welcome to join in.

A typical day

I like to meet your family member and try to replicate a routine for him or her to feel at home. I will reinforce training that you are doing with your puppy and/or have treat games to stimulate thinking.
