Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Pet Sitter in Kingston 🐈⬛🐾🐕
I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I adapt to each pet's needs with patience and understanding. Providing personalized care and respecting your pet's routine is my priority. I use positive reinforcement to help with basic training and to build trust, especially with new or nervous pets. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you're away.
Cat care experience
Joana also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My pet sitting and dog walking services are covered by insurance through Protectivity, providing added reassurance. For daycare at the client’s home (minimum of 4 hours; if less, please request a drop-in visit), my base rate is £8 per hour. This rate may be adjusted accordingly to your pet’s individual needs and energy levels.
Ratings and reviews
Joana looked after my dog, Stanley. Her communications for both the meet and greet and sitting were excellent. She sent timestamped pictures throughout showing that feeding and walking instructions were being followed and providing a lot of reassurance. My dog was very happy. Would definitely use again.
Great communication from Joana , loving of our dogs and very friendly! She updated us with photos and videos and the whole time . Also tided up after the mess Tequila and Havana left behind at home !! Thank you so much , highly recommended! 😊
Our first drop-in visit with Joana went really well. She was very attentive to Olive's needs, which helped build trust right away. Really appreciate her calm, patient approach! Thank you!
Joana is very professional and knowledgeable about dog behavior, particularly with anxious or reactive dogs. She gained the trust of our German Shepherd mix, Olive, quickly and handled her with a calm, confident approach. She handles larger, sensitive dogs well, and having worked with her three times now, we would definitely book her again.
Joana was great as always! Hector was well looked after. Thanks, Anna
So happy that I booked Joana to look after our cat. She took such great care of her, sending plenty of updates that o knew she was happy whilst we were away. Joana was also always very prompt so I felt reassured that our cat was looked after well Will definitely book again. Thank you!

Schedule
Pet care is currently my full-time job, which means I’m highly available, flexible, and fully committed. Please note that Rover takes a 15% service fee from each booking, or 5% to recurring bookings (for Dog Walking and Drop-in visits). I appreciate that being taken into consideration when we chat about services and pricing.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgJoana can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, what's their routine, or behaviours I should be aware of. It helps a lot to know things like: what time are they use to eat or take a walk, how they do around other pets, if they take medication, or even what kind of treats they like best! The more I know, the better care I can give.
