Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats, Oscar and Jasmine. Each day, I feed them both wet and dry food; clean their dishes; provide fresh water; clean their litter boxes frequently; play with them; and love them! I'm very eager to do whatever it takes to meet your pets' needs whether that be coming twice a day while you're on vacation or giving your puppy extra cuddles!

Information Joan G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if I need to approach the dog slowly or if your dog is super easy-going. It's also helpful to know if they are really reactive around other dogs and other such important details :)

A typical day

I love to play fetch and go for walks with dogs in my care. I let them enjoy sniffing bushes and trees (of course!). It's so fun to see dogs so happy enjoying a simple outing on a leash or, if appropriate, at an off-leash park. As for cats, I will play with them and give them just as much attention as I give my own (if not, more!).

Pet care experience

I have been volunteering at PAWS in Lynnwood. I enjoy walking the dogs and giving them love and attention. It is rewarding knowing that I have played a small part in helping them find their forever home.

My regular walker was out of town for a month so needed short term coverage, who could be flexible. Joan was able to come during this time and was eager to provide excellent service, rolling with the changing weeks and giving Jake the long walks needed to tire him out. Jake looked forward to seeing Joan and she provided lots of pets and praise to both my dogs! I appreciated her ability to help me out, always cheerful and providing any updates I needed to know!

Would absolutely book her again for my upcoming trip!! Joan is fantastic. My cats had a great time with her, I could tell by all the report cards that she gave me (plus bunch of their pics). Very thorough, super sweet and great communicator! I'm extremely glad I found her on a very lastly minute and she agreed to it. Thank you very much Joan! 😊 🙏

Joan is an incredible cat sitter. I’m so glad to found her as she took care of my cat while I was gone and my cat definitely loves her. She’s very thorough with her updates and always make sure to be on top of everything. She is the best.
