About Joan G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will treat your dog/cat as if it were my own. I am used to throwing a ball hundreds of times and playing with any kind of toy your pet desires. I love to brush dogs and cats if this is something they enjoy. I walk daily for my own exercise, so your dog would just enhance my walk. My dog did not care for other dogs so I would never walk past another animal on the sidewalk with your pet. I only except large dogs if they know how to walk on a leash without pulling.
Information Joan G. would like to know about your pet
Of course, I would appreciate knowing your dog's temperament, if they are prone to taking off, if they receive treats after going out and if they are allowed on your furniture.
A typical day
I am currently not taking dogs for boarding but when I am visiting your dog I will play with your dog with toys provided or throwing a ball in the yard or chasing after them...whatever they prefer. If they are just snugglers, I will sit and pet them after taking them out to do their business.

Miss My Pets:(
Pet care experience
I have had dogs/pets my entire life. The last pets that my family and I had were a dog and two cats. They all passed within a few years of each other. My dog was "perfect", as I am sure everyone considers their pets to be, so I didn't think I was ready to take on another one right now. But I so miss having them around. I will stop and pet any dog that wants me to as I walk around my neighborhood.
Cat care experience
Joan also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Joan is the absolute best!
Joan is absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for somebody who has a wonderful heart and will care for your fur babies genuine love, look no further.
Joan is so wonderful for our cats! One of them she never sees :) but the other is thrilled to have some love while we’re gone. Joan is reliable and fantastic. Cannot recommend enough!
Joan was so great! She has great communication and took good care of our Ruby. Will definitely hire her again!
