We can be away from home - for hours or days - with peace of mind that our dogs are being well cared for. Joan has been our go-to dog sitter since 2015. We don't make our out-of-area travel plans until we know Joan will be available to visit our dogs daily while we're gone! During the years some of our dogs have needed medicine on a daily basis, multiple times a day and we know that Joan can handle these needs well during her multiple visits a day to our home. She has consistently demonstrated reliability, has proven very trustworthy in her care for our dogs and respect for our home. And our dogs love her! Joan's care and concern, for us and our dogs, is also present whenever we contact her to schedule visits as she always asks for updates to each dog's current needs or changes in their daily routines since her last time with them and in a light-hearted way always asks how we are doing, too. We find her very conscientious, friendly, and genuinely caring. We do recommend Joan highly!
