Pet care experience
🐾 About Me 🐾 Hi there! I'm Joan. As a dedicated and experienced pet caretaker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion to ensure the well-being of your cherished furry family members. As a dog owner myself, having recently experienced the loss of my own beloved companions, I understand the deep bond and special care that each pet deserves. My commitment to providing exceptional care is underscored by a lifetime of experience and the ownership of three fabulous felines. My expertise extends to senior dog and cat care, reflecting a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of aging pets. Unveiling my pet care expertise: Feline Fandango: Having been a Cat Momma since the age of 6, I am fluent in the nuanced language of "cat" and well-versed in their distinctive needs. Whether it's lively playtime, gentle grooming sessions, or providing a cozy lap to curl up on, I comprehend the intricacies that make cats purr with contentment. Doggo Delight: As a recent dog owner, I understand the profound impact of canine companionship. Although my own dogs have passed away, the memory of their joy and companionship remains fresh. My understanding of a dog's wagging tail, from invigorating walks to indulgent belly rubs, reflects a commitment to ensuring your canine companion experiences joy and comfort. Pet Parent Communication: Recognizing the significance of keeping you informed about your pet's well-being, I provide regular updates, adorable pictures, and delightful anecdotes from our time together. With me, you'll never be left wondering about your pet's status, as I strive to make you feel present and connected, even from afar. Home Sweet Home: During your absence, I guarantee your pet's surroundings will remain a stress-free oasis. From adhering to their feeding routine to meticulous litter box maintenance, I go above and beyond to create a comfortable and pristine sanctuary for your fur baby. A Lifetime of Pet Experience: As a lifelong pet owner, I comprehend the joys and responsibilities that accompany the care of your furry family. Every pet under my watch receives the same love and protection as my own, ensuring a nurturing and secure environment that grants you peace of mind while you're away. Trust a dedicated professional, offering not just care but an enriching experience that exceeds expectations.
Reviews
Bella and I think Joan is fabulous! She has arrived a few minutes early both times she has been here so there is no worrying about being late. Bella is very relaxed around her and was contently napping on the couch when I got back home. I definitely would recommend Joan for your pup sitting needs. 😊
Joan did a great job caring for our Great Dane and poodle while we were out town for the weekend. She sent many photos and videos, and the dogs seemed like they had been well attended to in our absence. Also, our house was kept in very nice condition. We’ll be happy if Joan is able to help us again in the future!
Joan was quick to respond and happily took the assignment of looking after our cat. She provided us with photos, played with him and even helped with my plants. She a very kind, compassionate lady and I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Joan ?

It's important to prioritize the safety, well-being, and overall environment of your pets. I will rely on you to be very specific of your expectations of me concerning the care of your pets. Remember, each pet is unique, and their needs may vary. It's important to understand your specific pet's requirements and preferences in order for me to provide the best care possible. **Please, note: I cannot accept requests if your fur dog is aggressive. This is for my protection as well as yours. **
Information Joan H. would like to know about your pet
Before taking care of a pet, it is important to gather some essential information to ensure their well-being and to provide appropriate care. First and foremost: EMERGENCY CONTACTS. This is crucial in providing care for your pet. In addition to the owner's emergency contact information, the veterinarian, including the clinic's name, address, and phone number, should be provided. Second: Health Information. Existing medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions. Third: Temperament and Behavior. General demeanor, any behavioral issues or triggers to be aware of, and how they interact with other animals and people. Fourth: Feeding and Dietary Requirements. Type of food and snacks, feeding schedule, portion sizes, specific dietary restrictions, food sensitivities or allergies. Fifth: Training and Commands: Any obedience training they have undergone and the commands they are familiar with. Sixth: Daily routine. Understanding your pet's daily routine will help provide a smooth transition and maintain a sense of familiarity.

Remembering to always prioritize the safety and well-being of the dogs I watch and considering their individual preferences, energy levels, and any specific needs they may have, some simple and fun activities we can engage in are Fetch, Hide and Seek, Tug of War, Water Play and Nature Walks, and of course - Snuggles & Cuddles.
