Pet care experience

Join us in puppy paradise!

I've been a dog owner for 20 wonderful years, dogs are my passion! They love me and I love them, from puppies to seniors, toys to giants. I am lucky have a fenced in, wooded, private, 2 acre property with plenty of room for zoomies. My beagle, Piglet, is also a fine hostess. She loves to have canine company to play with, then snuggle with us and relax at my comfy, quiet home together. Piglet is my sweet rescue senior beagle. She's friendly, quiet and submissive. She has the final say on who may enter Her Queendom.

Joanna was absolutely amazing with our two Setters! We needed someone a little last minute, but we really wanted a place with a fenced yard where they could run safely and feel comfortable. From the moment we stopped by for a meet and greet, we knew we’d found the right person. The dogs immediately loved Joanna and felt right at home in her yard. She made them and myself feel at ease, and it was clear they were in great hands. They had an incredible time running and playing all day with Joanna and Piglet. When we picked them up, they were happily exhausted! We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Joanna with our pups again.

I was visiting Nyack from out of town to attend a wedding and needed doggy daycare for my 6-pound poodle, Bella, for about 10 hours—including late into the night. I was initially apprehensive about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, but after meeting Joanna, speaking with her, seeing her home, and observing the other dogs she was caring for that day, I felt very much at ease. It was clear how comfortable they were and how well set up her home was for the dogs’ care. That gave me great confidence in leaving Bella in her care. Joanna was incredibly accommodating from the start. I requested a meet-and-greet ahead of time to see how Bella would do at her home with the other dogs, and Joanna was happy to make that happen. It really helped put my mind at ease. On the day of the wedding, Joanna kindly accommodated my request to pick Bella up from my hotel and drop her off later at the family event, so I wouldn’t have to leave the wedding to handle drop-offs myself. This thoughtful service made the day so much easier for me. Throughout the day, she sent photo and video updates showing that Bella was doing great and having fun. As someone who was initially nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter, I truly appreciated Joanna’s kindness, flexibility, and clear communication. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Dale was extremely well taken care of with Jo. He can be a lot! Puppy energy and all. But Jo kept him happy, safe and well taken care of. He can’t wait to go back!

Schedule

Dogs are my main gig, so I will be with your babies almost 24/7. When I go out, I bring Piglet and friends along with me everywhere I can, especially to parks, trails and forests. But if your dog is more of a homebody, I can easily stay home with them all day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a safe, wooded, quiet, 2 acre, fenced-in lot. There are lots of dogs on my block who love to socialize and have play dates if that's what your dog is into. I'm at the end of a dirt road, nowhere near any traffic, so it is very safe and private.

Pets

A typical day

When we're home, 90% of the time we're outside playing. I give your dog my undivided attention. Let me know your dog's energy level and I'll take them with me on walks, hikes, adventures, etc.

It is highly recommended that your dog be on some kind of tick prevention protocol. My house is in a very wooded area with lots of critters and ticks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
