Pet care experience
Dreamed of being a veterinarian as a child. Ended up having to change course, but I've always been an animal lover at ❤! Ever since childhood I've been involved with dog showing, at 15 i interned w/ a vet, had numerous pets, and have run my own pet services the last few years. Recent pandemic issues have caused my clients to work from home so I'm no longer needed as much. I have a nice backyard with new 5ft fencing. Plenty of potty and playing space for doggos. I have a large kennel/ crate that can be used if necessary. I've lived in this area most of my life so I do know my way around to the best watering holes and hiking trails. Besides dogs and cats I've also raised numerous reptiles , turtles and frogs. So just in case you have need to feed other critters I've probably got you covered! I cannot work a 9 to 5 job anymore, but I can give my animals all the love and attention they need. I treat my dog like he's my best friend he's never alone and always in the house with me. He loves following me around doing chores and usually visiting dogs do the same. My yard has a new 5 ft fence that is puppy proof!! The yard is just the perfect size for good dog romping and ball fetching! Azul, my Husky is down for a good chase, but he usually let's the small dogs win !! We've had atleast 10 different dogs now and really enjoy meeting and introducing them to our Husky. When he lost his Bella he was so sad this is truly helping.
Reviews
I have hired them several times and been given no cause for regret. Easy recommend.
They are amazing. I don't want to take my pups anywhere else! Thank you!
Joanna was wonderful with Chewie. She kept me informed, sent pictures. Chewie had a good visit. We will be back next time we're in town. May the force be with you Joanna!
Our dog, Ludwig, seemed to enjoy his stay with Joanna. We were happy with his time there.

Well if the animal is fixed if not is it in heat? Has it been flea/tick treated? House trained? What are it's sleeping routines? Is it used to other dogs? Nervous of anything like lightening, mailman?
A typical day
Backyard blissfulness!! I can walk doggo , but being free and able to run and pee wherever is just the greatest!! The pups are let out atleast once an hour if not more. Maybe a lil less in the rain. The dogs have alot of toys and usually just chill in our living room. We allow animals on our furniture and have a few dog beds. They truly have the life here! We start sitting about 7am and usually everyone gets picked up by 8pm. We do overnight and extended hours also.
