Energetic Young Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise.

Joann did a great job with Sophie! She loved the dog park outside of Joann's building and was extremely well taken care of. Sophie can't wait to go back!

I have a 2 yr old African Boerboel. For those of you who are real dog lovers, you'll know this is a very large dog. Ace is still fairly a puppy so he is very hyper and has a deep bark. When Joann first met my dog she was so scared lol. She would be like "Tya, get him. He doesn't like me." That was 6 months ago, today her and ace are the beat of friends. I've known Joann almost nine years now and I've never met a more loving, caring, and hard working person. She's the strongest woman I know and I tell her this all the time. When I have do over time at work Joann voluntarily goes to my house and feeds and walks ace for me. I try offering her money but she refuses. I love my dog like my own child so I wouldnt trust just anyone to watch him. Joann however I trust with my own life so I know she'll never do any harm to my Ace. If you need a sitter for your precious baby, Joann is the person for the job.

Very professional and great with animals. She watched my dog for a whole week while I vacation. My jack Russell terrier loved her. Joann is young and full of energy, a perfect match for my little doggy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of professional, reliable, trustworthy work.

Information Joann R. would like to know about your pet

My main concern would be health. Are the dogs are allergic to anything, any medicines I would have to give them.

A typical day

I like walking downtown in the DC area. There are lots of areas to run and play around. I know dogs need lots of exercise so activites like frisbie and catch would be apart of day to activities.
