Loving Care For Your Dog

I have 1 sweet beagle who just love having houseguests! I have a townhouse with a dog door to a small yard. I will take your sweet dog to dog park to play. This is a cage free home with lots of toys and comforts only dogs appreciate. I'll be happy to care for your dog. I send photos directly to your cell phone or e-mail. I am retired so your dog has lots of company. About this sitter: I'm a dog mom of 1 sweet beagle who love to have houseguests!! I will provide loving care to your dog in my home. No cages or crates. Just a happy, calm, clean home for your dog while your away. Why I love dog sitting I've had dogs all my life and all were rescue dogs. I've been a foster mom in the past. About my yard I have a 6 ft privacy fence around a small yard with a brick patio. I pick up my yard daily. My experience administering medication yes--comfortable giving pills, liquids and insulin I am retired so I have plenty of times for walks and dog park. I have lots of toys and dog bed in front of all the windows I have a fenced yard and my own dog Jesse to keep your dog company. I am in and out during the day and provide freq walks as well as a dog door I'm retired and I am very flexible with time. I allow drop off and pick up all days of the week from 8a to 8p. If you need earlier or later times we can discuss. I block out all my unavailable time on the calendar I have a friendly beagle to keep your pup company at my home. Your pup is welcome on the dog beds and couch. Can sleep in my bed at night

Bosco always has a great time at Joann’s house. And he loves the veggie suggestion she made for his meal time!

Joann was great! She sent daily picture updates of our dog, Scamp, and their time going on adventures to the dog park and snuggling at home. Scamp came back happy and tired - the sign of a good weekend. Coordinating pick up and drop off times was a breeze. Highly recommended!
