Safety, trust & environment
I can bathe your dogs, play an excellent round of fetch, give them lots of love an attention while I’m visiting. Cats: play toys, scratchpads, shoestrings, balls w bells, and brushing, when they prefer. I’ve got lots of dog toys- balls, chew bones, frisbees squeaky toys. I gave away my dog harnesses, but still have my retractable leash. If they like going out on the town, I love going to pet smart to just look around and pick out a toy. They have pup cups at Pelicans- if their sugar is under control, and then go to dog park, or just playing and keeping him company in the home. I’m very good at attending to both dogs & cats. I do not spank ( with my hand or an object, like a newspaper) or hit animals, nor use a water sprayer to punish animals if they’ve done something wrong. I use redirection and a stern tone and shake my finger at them. They usually respond well to that. Then when I see them doing the right thing I reward them with enthusiastic positive talk. For bigger issues, I always have treats in my pocket, using instant gratification to regain their attention.
Ratings and reviews
Joan did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat!!!! She sent us updates every day. It was nice to wake up to see how our babies were doing for the day! I will definitely use her in the future! Pets were well taken care of and our home as well.
Joan was a wonderful dog and house sitter while we were gone for 9 days. She frequently sent us pictures and updates on our 2 dogs. We highly recommend Joan. Lucy and Louie do too!
Absolutely amazing. Defintely will use her again and tell others. We are beyond please. Thank you for caring for our furbabies and our home.
It was a slow start for the medication, but when she got the routine down, she was great. We would recommend her. She was wonderful with Rusty, and he missed her when she left.
Joan did a wonderful job of looking after my kitten. She took great care of my home and was very attentive to Niblet's needs. She went above and beyond and I will definitely try and book her again for future needs.
Joan was really great she went above and beyond to make sure that Elsa was taken care of and made sure that I was not worried about Elsa she sent many pictures and videos I like the job that she did so much that I'm going to use her again in June and I'm going to refer her to all of my friends and family I never worried once about Elsa because I knew that she was in good hands with joan
