Safety, trust & environment

I care for every dog as if it’s my own and a pets safety is number one in my book. I love dogs and it shows in how I care for your dog down to the details. I try to mimic all the owners habits so the dog is happy, stress free and having fun.

Maggie had a great experience. This sitter was very thoughtful with her questions, wanting to keep Maggie's routine, which worked great when we got her home. Would recommend for a small dog.

Joan was fantastic with our dog, Coco! We had a meet and greet at a neutral location prior to the boarding. It is obvious that Joan is committed to making sure the dogs acclimate to each other. I received many updates with pictures during the weekend. I highly recommend Joan for your pet's care!

Joan and her daughter are so lovely. Very knowledgeable about how to care for dogs and fulfill their needs. Charlie had a great time with them and returned happy and tired! The best way to pick up our pup

Our family used Joan to take care of our dog, Willow, while we were away for 2 weeks. She did an amazing job. Joan kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures of Willow during her stay with Joan. Joan took care to keep Willow on her usual schedule and routine providing her with daily walks and play time. We found Willow very happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely be using Joan to keep Willow in the future!

Joan & Marissa are so wonderful! I have been using them for quite a few years now. They are so kind and they truly care about my pups. We have complete peace of mind when we travel knowing Marissa will be visiting our babies. They truly are the best!

Joan was fantastic! I loved that she was super professional when we first met and before we brought Chloe over. We knew our pup would be in great hands. Joan took amazing care of Chloe! She was spoiled all week! Chloe was there over Christmas and Joan took the best pictures of her with a Holiday collar. So sweet! We have found our pet sitter and Chloe can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Joan!
