5 Minutes from Airport and Ferry

Pet care experience

I live near the airport/ferry which makes it easy to drop off and pick up from a trip. I don't think I'm much different than other walkers. I'm looking for a 4 legged friend to share lots of love and spoil a little. that's the wonderful thing about dogs...they don't judge, they just love, and it's a wonderful thing to return that love. I love dogs. I love cats. I'm a general animal lover. I'm a senior citizen and have lived alone. When my daughter and I lived together we had 2 dogs and a cat. One BIG male dog and one small female dog. They were like husband and wife. We treated them as such and they filled our days with amusing stories...some not so amusing, but it was impossible to stay mad at them when they had done something bad as they appeared so remorseful. They were both mutts and EXTREMELY clever. I swear they understood every word we said, especially the female. She was diabolically smart. Unfortunately they both passed the same year. I miss them still. I'm on the island now and often wanted another dog, however my job required travel and I didn't think it was fair. I think sitting may fill that void I feel, as now I'm retired and still like the feeling of travelling now and then, so this works well for me....and the pooches. My apologies...it's impossible for me to keep my calendar up to date. I do the best I can, but it's better to shoot me a quick text or email as I'm flexible. Warm regards, Joan

Joan did a great job caring for our two small dogs. She gave them lots of attention and sent lovely daily updates with photos. I would definitely use Joan again.

Joan is a fantastic dog sitter! She was very patient with my anxious dog and gave her the time she needed to warm up to her and feel comfortable. Joan answered my enquiries very promptly and kindly kept us informed with texts and pictures while we were away. May had an excellent time with Joan and I would certainly recommend her and ask her to dog sit for us again.

Joan provided amazing care for our very attached terrier, setting our minds at ease with regular photo and video updates. We will definitely book again with her, as need and opportunity arises. Excellent in all ways! Thank you so much.
