Pre-Vet Med student & animal lover

Pet care experience

Disclaimer: As a full time student, I sometimes have a schedule that's not consistent with the format given on Rover.com, so please feel free to contact me with questions about my availability. I'm marked as available in hopes that, for drop-in services, our schedules will match-up! And while I am marked as unavailable Thursdays for house sitting, if my schedule works with your pet's needs, I'm perfectly willing to make an exception! Animals rule my world. Not only do I spend most my fun time with animals, I'm currently a full-time student at UC Berkeley studying my undergrad in Molecular Environmental Biology to pursue veterinary school. I am excited to be studying toward a career as a caregiver and health provider for animals. I have experience volunteering with rescue dogs for 5+ years, volunteering at a pet hospital for 2+ years, and have been a volunteer with BAD RAP community outreach programs for 1+ year. I was the manager at a dog & cat grooming shop where I've handled a variety of breeds for 2.5 yrs. I am familiar with going at a pace that works best for the dogs/cats. I've also helped with training puppies for grooming and behavior in social situations. I also have a lot of experience with cats, too; I grew up with cats and am a proud owner. I honestly look forward to working with any and all animals!

Joanna was great! Communication was super easy before, during, and after the stay. Our usual sitter was unavailable during this trip, so it was nice to feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in the hands of someone as caring and capable as Joanna. We would not hesitate to recommend her services and would love to use her again in the future.

Joanna is the kindest, most trustworthy person you could ever meet. I have worked with her around animals and she is gentle and kind. She has the right heart for anything Animal!!! I am an extremely picky, uptight Dog-mom, and Joanna is the gal I choose to help with my pets. I trust her completely. You should too!

Joanna has babysat my dog, Zoey, on many occasions. Joanna has an amazing way with dogs. Zoey couldn't be happier when she gets to spend time with her. When Zoey is in Joanna's care, I know she is going to be taken care of, including lots of love and belly rubs. I wouldn't trust Zoey with anyone but Joanna.

A typical day

A tired dog is a happy dog! I am a firm believer in keeping dogs on leash so I am readily able to run with the dogs as a way to bond and have fun. I love playing and training with dogs as well as cats. And I'm always ready to cuddle if they rather do that instead of playing.
