Loving Sitter

Pet care experience

I am a retired professional photographer turned full-time dog sitter. I have over 3 years of experience as a dog sitter and pride myself on ensuring that your dog gets lots of love, attention, and play.

Reviews

I have always had a lot of anxiety about boarding my dogs. Once we found Joan, all that anxiety became non-existent because I now had someone who genuinely loves dogs, is reliable and trustworthy, and willing to come to my house to pet sit at a great rate, We have a Pitbull and Labroadoodle--both with very different personalities and energy levels. I've had some bad experiences with my dog getting kennel cough from boarding so I prefer to have someone come to my house to take care of them when my husband and I want to go on a trip. This way the dogs get to stay in the comforts of their own home and I know I've got someone to watch the house while we're gone. Joan is like the dog whisperer! She is able to interact in a way with our Pitbull to help ease her anxiety (she is older and can get stressed easily) as well as maintain a sense of authority with our Labradoodle so he doesn't get out of hand (he is younger and still working on training). Both of our dogs absolutely adore Joan and literally freak out as soon as she walks through the door. I would highly recommend Joan to anyone. But don't take my word for it--schedule a meet and greet with her and you'll see for yourself just how awesome she is!

I have had dogs throughout my life and adore the company of a furry companion. I offer dog sitting at your house so you can travel and be away knowing your pet is comfy sleeping in their own bed. A typical day will include walks, play time, belly rubs, treats and lots of hugs. I will also get your mail, water the plants and take care of your house while you are gone.
