Highlights
Pet care experience
Treat your pet as my own
I have 33 years experience with dogs. I can host dog breeds up to 50 pounds. It is important that your dog have a basic level of training and can follow commands. I have a medical background as I was an LPN in my earlier life. Now being retired, having raised my children and have had three dogs in my life...I offer my experience as a service in my community to host your furry family member. I will be offering my services in the Punta Gorda area in 2026.

Joann also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is cozy and comfortable for my dog guests. My goal is to make your beloved furry family member feel secure, safe and comfortable while in my care. My dog Penelope is a key part of the team. She provides companionship and will help to make your dog feel comfortable in our home.Penelope is quite experienced with having guest dogs in our home. Our cat Polly, will be in another part of the home. I will sleep with your furry family member in a bedroom at front of the home and a baby gate will section off the house so that your pet will be comfortable.
Ratings and reviews

Absolutely will be back. Joan was fantastic and cared for our dog like it was her own.
Joann is a phenomenal dog sitter. She took care of our dog for 10 days, and she was wonderful about providing photos and videos to keep us connected. Our dog sprints to her door when we arrive, so we know that she is very comfortable with her.
I recently had Joann watch my dog Tucker for the second time and once again she did an amazing job! Joann truly goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of animals. She is incredibly responsible and attentive to Tucker’s needs and always keeps me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. Joann has a great set-up for pets, with a large fenced-in yard and plenty of space for dogs to run around and play. Overall, I would highly recommend Joann to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I trust her completely with Tucker and know that he is in good hands whenever he stays with her. Thank you again, Joann!
Joann is a kind, friendly dog whisperer who cares for my silly older yellow Lab like he is her own. My pup adores her just as much as I do. If you want someone to take great care of your pup while you’re out of town, Joann should be at the top of your list!
Joann did an amazing job watching our dog Tucker for 6 nights. Not only did she provide top-notch care for Tucker, but he also hit it off with her dog Penelope and they had a blast playing together! Joann was very communicative and kept me updated with daily photos and messages. I could tell that Tucker was happy and well-taken care of during his stay. I highly recommend Joann for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Joann, for giving us such a positive experience!
