Always important to know and understand the likes, dislikes and any special needs for your pup/cat. That is just common sense, right? I want your pet to be happy when you’re not their with them :)

Joan was absolutely amazing. We have two pups with lots of energy and she took amazing care of them. When we got stuck at the airport and were uncertain if our flight would be canceled, she was ready to stay the extra night if needed. She had no problem staying until quite late to make sure we made it home to our fur babies. She honestly made a very stressful travel day so much better!

Hi, Joan often watches my two dogs - one German shepherd and one huskey/GS mix. It can be a Wuxi drop in for a bathroom break in my yard, or overnight stays at my home. She is 100% trustworthy with my pups and my home. She is caring and proactive if something doesn’t seem right. I highly recommend her.

Full disclosure, Joan is my sister. She has taken care of my dog Charlie overnight and has also taken him for walks when I wasn’t feeling well. Charlie has a special diet that needs to be followed as well as medication to be administered. So to have someone that I already know is caring, kind and will be fully focused on him takes away my anxiety about leaving him. Charlie will play nonstop with his favorite ball and Joan is right there with him until he finally decides he’s had enough!
