Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to care for more than one very small dog in my home at this time. I feel that most pets are more comfortable in their own environment, and most of my customers feel the same, when that's possible.

No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed

Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information JoAnn B. would like to know about your pet

I am fine with dispensing meds and vitamins, ointments, drops and injections, but I would need a specific written directions and sometimes hands on instructions at the beginning for these to ensure it's done correctly and on the schedule required.

A typical day

For an overnight stay I would normally come at about 4:00 p.m. and stay overnight until the morning. If needed I can come back about noon to walk or let dogs out if there is no doggie door.

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats are my favorite creatures on earth, and I have always loved caring for my own or other's. I am mature and responsible. I take my pet sitting seriously, but I love how pets make me laugh out loud on a daily basis! I understand that pets can be nervous and stressed when their families are away, and I try my best to keep them calm and happy. I know a pet that has fun with playtime and that has gotten a good long walk (when applicable) is a happier pet. I want my customers to feel secure in the knowledge that their beloved family members are well cared for. I have no problem watering plants or doing other house-sitting chores as well. I love to send my clients photos of their pets while they are with me, I know I appreciate that when my own dog is being cared for!

JoAnn took our poodle pup for a second time this weekend. Once again, Jo was easy to deal with. She communicates well, sends pics and takes great care of Vaughan. The pup loves her. Highly recommend!

WOW! 5 STARS and then some! We couldn't be more pleased. And for the record, I'm an "A-type" which is something I don't readily share but for a review involving the care of my "cat child" George, it feels more than appropriate. JoAnn was a hit on all levels. Smart, Kind, Fun, and delivering ATTENTION TO DETAIL at every turn! JoAnn's daily video updates with snippets of play time made our time away all the better and reduced anxiety around leaving George at home. THANK YOU JoANN! Dave (Rancho Mirage, CA)

Jo was awesome! She arrived early to meet Vaughan. She took great care of our four legged. She sent great pictures so we could see how well Vaughan was doing. When we arrived home, Vaughan was a happy camper and was curled up on Jo's lap. We already booked another date. Thanks Jo.
