As a college student, I’ve learned how to manage my time efficiently, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexibility, offering tailored care to fit your pet’s schedule—whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Between classes, I make sure to provide consistent attention, ensuring each pet gets the exercise, training, and affection they need. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing extra comfort, I’m committed to giving your pets the love and care they deserve while balancing my academic responsibilities.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable space that’s pet-friendly and free of hazards. I ensure plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration while keeping things routine and familiar. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible, maintaining feeding schedules, walking routes, and playtimes. I also take extra care to respect the home environment, keeping things tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is always to create a stress-free, loving environment for your pets to feel safe and happy.

Information Joana F. would like to know about your pet

Hey, before I watch your dog, I just want to make sure I have all the info I need to keep things smooth. What’s their usual diet—any food allergies or sensitivities? How much exercise do they need, and do they have a favorite game or toy? Are there any health issues or medications I should be aware of? Also, what’s their personality like—are they shy or social with new people? Where do they usually go potty, and do they have a favorite spot to sleep? And just in case, who should I contact in an emergency, like the vet or someone close to you?

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch would start with a fun morning walk or play session, like a game of fetch for dogs or a laser chase for cats. After breakfast, I’d keep them busy with interactive toys or a puzzle feeder, followed by a short training session or solo play. In the afternoon, we'd relax with some cuddles or light exploration, and if they enjoy water, maybe a little splash time. The evening would end with another walk or outdoor play, winding down with some quiet time, like brushing or snuggling, before bed. It’s a mix of activity and relaxation, keeping them happy and engaged.

Joana did an awesome job on caring for my Zoë. She sent me pics/video’s on how things were going with Zoë’s daily activities. I would love for Joana to watch my Zoë again when needed.
