I’m recently retired and currently do not have any personal pets. This allows me to spend ample time with yours. Depending on your pets needs and your preferences, I include them in whatever I’m doing. If I need to run an errand they can come with me. If I’m outside they can be outside with me. This may not be applicable in the case of cat visitors.

Welcome to Camp Joan for Pets!

Pet care experience

As a pet owner for 40+ years, I was often stressed and frustrated with finding the right care for my 4 legged family members when I was away. Especially for my senior and shy dogs/cats who just couldn’t handle being at a traditional kennel. I’ve owned, raised and cared for a variety of furry friends in my life including cats, dogs, chickens, iguanas and horses. Camp Joan is a 80 acre pet paradise with a variety of trails for walks, only one person’s/family’s pets accepted at a time and a ramp if there are mobility issues. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, large and small dogs and medications. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed, active and stimulating environment for my “campers” while they are visiting. Whether we’re out on walks, sitting around a campfire, hanging out on the couch or going for a ride, your “camper” will be loved and cared for.

Another great stay with Joan! Kona is obviously well taken care of and is tired from all the playing/hiking/outdoor time when she comes home. She loves her Joan time!!
