Owner Away? We’ll Sit and Stay!

Pet care experience

My whole life i’ve been surrounded with animals and taking care of them. I grew up with bigger breeds at home (dobermans and mastiffs). When my mother and I would go to work cleaning houses my responsibility was walking, feeding, bathing and caring for the clients dogs. I would watch 4 Shih Tzu’s and 2 of the older boys were diabetic so I am also experienced in administrating medication. I currently have my regulars that I take care of that includes a few labs, boxer and a golden doodle! We enjoy running around, playing fetch and tug of war, but also love relaxing and cuddling on the couch.

Second time using Joann. She is so sweet and our baby seems to really like her and get comfortable with her. Highly recommend!

Joann did a phenomenal job with or babies Stewie and Coco! Coco can be very barky and Joann was so patient with her. By the time I got back Coco was totally calm with Joann! Both of the dogs seemed very happy with her. Also, Joann went above and beyond and walked to the Pet store next door and got a toy for Coco. Coco truly liked the toy you could tell! I would highly recommend Joann to anybody looking for a kind and patient sitter for your babies!

Information Joann G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog takes medication (orally or injected, I have expirence with both) if they have any conditions/need extra special care, and any aggression/triggers I have to look out for. And anything else you think might be important to know about your dog so I can assist.

A typical day

Love to play fetch and tug a war with dogs as it’s my favorite thing to do with my doberman. If they love to explore we’ll do that , finding the closest park near your house is always a good time or if they just enjoy running in your backyard!! I also think stimulating them mentally is important and enjoy doing puzzles!
