YOUR DOG IS MY FAMILY!

Pet care experience

I've always been a dog lover and have been a caring mom of dogs all of my life. When my 15 year old Lexi passed away after a wonderful life, I really missed having a dog at home. Dog sitting allows me to thoroughly enjoy every breed and every pet personality, as well as have the freedom I desire now that my sons are adults and on their own. Your dog(s) will be treated like my own, with lots of attention and love, and they will be the only dog(s) with me, so no issues with other dogs, and I can guarantee them my full attention at all times. For several years, I took dogs into my home when my own dog sitter was booked up or when friends needed help. For the last few years I’ve had so many new clients and most of my business is now repeat doggy customers. Since I became a dog sitter, many dogs call my place home when their humans are away. My first instinct is to have them right next to me, even on the couch, but am willing to work with your personal requests. I am a teacher so I am thoroughly background checked. I take long walks daily and will take your dog with me, or on shorter walks if needed. Experienced with elderly dog needs, as well as administering medication. Will send texts and photos while you are gone to keep you in touch with your furry family member. :)

Joan was fantastic, I'm so glad I found her! Communication was outstanding prior to Billie's stay and I got really lovely pictures and updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend and hope to have the opportunity to use in the future!!

John was amazing. She sent plenty of pictures and was in great with communication. I felt reassured. Leaving Stella with her while I was out of town. Gionne is at the top of my Dog Sitter list.

Joan was an excellent care taker for Tejo. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up and took my pup on very short notice. I got multiple daily updates, photos and videos from Joan that showed my dog was happy, healthy, and well taken care of. Will use Joan again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to roam whenever they desire, and I always keep an eye on them whenever they are back there. I prefer to have dogs who are trained well enough that I would feel comfortable leaving them without crating them, but would use a crate for short periods of time if necessary. I always have them sleep with me, and even on my big bed if they want to and it’s okay with you!

Information Joan P. would like to know about your pet

My only requests are that your dog is well behaved, clean, doesn’t chew on things and is potty trained. I will take up to 3 dogs from the same family at a time. Let's set up a Meet & Greet so that your dog can feel comfortable that this is the perfect vacation spot!

A typical day

I will be happy to take your dog on walks around my beautiful neighborhood in Beaverton. Playing ball is something my dog couldn't do as well in her old age, so that is always fun. Your dog is welcome to roam in my small but nice fenced in backyard. Willing to do anything that your dog enjoys!
