Pet care experience
Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm a late-30s woman working in the nonprofit advocacy sector (exclusively from home!). I recently moved uptown to the Morningside/West Harlem/Columbia neighborhood, with my beloved 16 year old Siamese cat named Bonsai. I'm looking to open my home (or visit yours) to help care for our furry neighbors. I live near many city parks and green space (Riverside Park!!), love to walk and run daily, and am extremely flexible and dependable. Strong references for extended, overnight stays in client's homes. I am also available for dog walking, home visits, AND if your pet is cat-friendly, am open to hosting. I now share a 3BR with 2 roommates and 1 school-aged child. For overnight boarding at my home, only accepting trained, well-behaved dogs that are safe around children and cats with a Rover client history. Get in touch today! I work from home M-F and have a flexible schedule. For dog walking services or pet check-ins, I generally prefer early morning 6am - 10am, midday, and anytime between 4pm and 8pm. 3 overnights max for hosting your pet at my home or yours.
Reviews
Joanna A. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Joanna was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dogs, and I could tell the dogs were happy and safe. She took them on long daily walks, to a turf area for them to run, and provided lots of photos and updates each day. I could tell that she made the dogs’ happiness her top priority. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Will definitely book with her again!
Joanna is wonderful! Very organized and easy to work with. My dog loved her and had a great time with her cat as evidenced in the cute photos she sent me of them playing. I highly recommend Joanna and will definitely work with her again!
Otis had an amazing time staying with Joanna! Lots of walks and love!! I would highly recommend her - she’s a ROCKSTAR! Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
We are a very pet-friendly home, no strict rules - if your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or in my bed, I am honored! I can also easily crate your dog if desired (BYOC). If providing care in pet's home, I strive to keep their existing schedule and training consistent.
Home
Information Joanna A. would like to know about your pet
Please give me some insight into your pet's personality. Are they fully housetrained? Good on leash? Easily distracted by food on the pavement? Do you use a crate? How are they with new humans (and animals)? Please list any special needs, including diet and medication.
A typical day
I know the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation to our pet's health. A daily walker/runner myself, I know the best city parks and green spaces in the area. Comfortable with learning your pet's individual needs, personality quirks, and training commands to ensure a healthy and happy interaction. Let's play!
