Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible Dog Sitter and Walker
I’m active, work from home, and a dog-lover. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so your pup gets consistent attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and never long stretches alone. I share my home with Mabel, my 4-year-old golden retriever. We're outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Mabel is friendly and welcoming to all pups. No yard, but Boulder is our backyard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and I treat every pup like my own. Your dog will get personal attention, plenty of activity, and a flexible routine that works for them.

Ratings and reviews
Joann took amazing care of our dog, Indy! They went on lots of walks and adventures and Joann sent us great pics everyday. Would love to have Joann watch Indy again!
Joann did a great job watching my “senior” golden retriever for 4 nights. She sent photos and great feedback each day. I felt super comfortable with Joann and will definitely use her again!
Joann is someone I would wholeheartedly trust with any dog. She has spent years caring for dogs and has a natural ability to connect with animals in a calm and attentive way. It's obvious how much she genuinely enjoys being around dogs, and they respond incredibly well to her. She leads a very active lifestyle and takes her current dog on long daily walks and hikes, so she's especially great with dogs that need both exercise and engagement. Beyond that, she"s dependable, thoughtful, and pays close attention to each dog"s individual needs and personality. Any pet in her care would be exceptionally well looked after.
I can’t recommend Joann highly enough for dog sitting and walking. She’s a true dog lover through and through and has years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Having owned multiple dogs herself, she understands not just the basics of care, but how to make dogs feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved. What stands out most is how active and attentive she is with her current dog, Mabel, who she takes on daily hikes and outdoor adventures. She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and intuitive with animals, and dogs naturally gravitate toward her. I would trust her completely with my high-energy Australian cattle dog mix and know she would be would be in caring, capable hands if I ever needed a sitter.

Schedule
I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Happy to coordinate with you to ensure your dog’s needs are met. Able to step out with your pup for bathroom breaks whenever needed.

I don’t have a yard, but my golden retriever needs exercise each day. We’re outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Boulder is our backyard!

A typical day
I take my dog on multiple walk each day including outings to the dog park across the street and dog-friendly Boulder trails. We’ll figure out what your dog enjoys and plan accordingly.
