Absolute dog lover & home full time
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Joan and I'm 27. I am currently home full time so I thought I would take advantage of it and get to spend my day with the dogs. My dog's name is Maile and she is a friendly lab mix. I also have 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I was raised with big dogs, Rottweilers, Newfoundlands and Rhodesian Ridgebacks but I love all dogs, big or small. I love to go on walks around the city, they can be long or short walks depending on the dog.I also love to teach dogs new tricks and just have fun training, so if that's something you want done let me know! I can administer medications if necessary. And I have a lot of experience with "special needs" dogs. I know many people don't know what it is, but I am very experienced with dogs who have Megaesophagus and need upright feedings and anything else. Also, I let the dogs free roam the house unless otherwise spoken of. Whatever your pup needs I can do! I hope to be seeing your pups soon ! (:

Great job. My dog told me so in her own way.
My little 12 pound dachshund adores Joan, he doesn't even look back when I leave him. He is completely exhausted when he comes home! Jiffy gets to play all day with Maile, and just wants to snuggle and sleep when he returns home. We (extremely conveniently) even live in the same apartment complex so she is willing to meet me outside when I leave for work in the morning (6 am!!!!!!) and meets me outside when I return home. Joan is flexible if I have errands to do after work, and doesn't mind if I come home later than regular. I will be using her regularly! Jiffy cannot wait until his next day with Joan and Maile!
Joan was very good with yoshi she sent updates with pictures and even took an extra night to take care of him I would definitely bring him back to her if I ever need to go out of town again.
Joan is amazing with dogs. She saved my parent's dog's life. He was born with a condition called megaesophagus and our options pretty much were to bring him home and take care of him ourselves, or give him back to the breeder who was going to put him down. Joan worked with our dog, and fed him a special way with food that I even hated to give him (it stunk). Joan never complained and was very professional about it. The dog also had to stand in a special seat and Joan was very patient with Chunga. Many dogs with this condition end up dying shortly after becoming so sick.. but Chunga is now 4 years old and thriving!!

Information Joan K. would like to know about your pet
I need to know about your dogs temperament. I would like to know if they like other dogs; are they reactive or do they get along better with males/females or big/small dogs. I just want to know as much as I can so I can kee your dog happy and safe.
A typical day
I can take your dog on walks around the city. I love throwing the ball, stick or frisbee. Also, if your dog loves walking through the woods on hikes, that is definitely something I would love to do. Your dog can also be a lovely couch potato and I would be just as happy.
