Safety, trust & environment

I prefer sitting at clients home as pets love their homes,so I want to keep your pets safe and in their normal environment while respecting their boundaries.

Information Joana B. would like to know about your pet

I prefer smaller dogs that are well behaved and not territorial as that puts me at risk. I would consider a bigger dog (60 pounds+) depending on how laid back the individual dog is as I can’t risk personal injury. No aggressive breeds will be accepted due to risk of injury.

A typical day

I love playing the dogs and cats based on their energy level. It’s therapeutic to be around cats and dogs for me due to their antics and interactions. I love playing tug a war with dogs, fetching or anything that makes them happy, based on how comfortable they become with me.

Animal lover who adores animals

Pet care experience

I’ve had 5 cats, 1 dog, multiple small animals that I rescued from the cats including mice, chipmunks, birds and anything that cats would catch and bring to me as “presents”. I love animals so much and would take care of your pets as members of the family as they truly are. I’m a volunteer with SICSA and have my own little cafe outside for the wild animals that I call my “ furry kiddos”.
