Highly Experienced Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have many years of both personal and professional animal care experience - from always having my own personal pets, to fostering puppies, volunteering at a horse barn, having my own pet sitting business, and working in doggy daycares, vet clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescue. I offer quality pet care with a focus on behavior and enrichment using a fear free and positive approach. My services are personally tailored to your pets needs. I have experience with behaviors such as high arousal, reactivity, fear, and anxiety. Contact me to talk more about the variety of services I provide and how I can help you and your pet - whether you’re at work, on vacation, or your pet just needs some extra fun!

JoAnn was absolutely spectacular, she was great about giving our cat his medication and special food and sent lots of great pictures. She was extremely flexible and took great care of our boy!

Joann is fantastic! She clearly loves animals and just has a way with them. Our pup instantly loved her! She is super flexible and accommodating. I had a last minute request, and she was right there to help me out. I really appreciate her prompt communication - not to mention all the cute photos of our dog having a great time!
