Tired dog is a good dog!

Pet care experience

A lot of behavioral problems in our dogs stem from lack of exercise and stimulation. If you don't plan for how that energy is spent, your dog will find a way you might not approve. I love to help when you are unavailable and take you dog for an enriching walk or game of fetch!

Joanna has been my sweet boy’s daily dog walker for 2 years, and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her. She has become one of the most trusted people to my very reactive, shy dog - a true miracle worker! From her abundance of pictures, detailed updates, and vast experience, she’s truly a dog owner’s best friend. Thank you, Joanna!

Joanna is the definition of going above and beyond. She’s been working on my dog’s recall, takes her on lovely long walks, and I’ve saved so many of the pictures she takes. She goes so far as to refill my treat jar at my house when she sees that it’s empty and makes sure my girl has water and a treat before she leaves. I work long hours and travel a lot. I have no idea how I’d manage without her!

Joanna is hands down the best sitter I have worked with. She treats your pet like her own and is fully engaged the entire visit. She made sure my dog was exercised, cared for, and genuinely interacted with during the full 30 minutes. The walks, the attention to detail, and the thoughtful updates gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she is passionate about what she does. If you want someone reliable, attentive, and truly invested in your pet’s well being, Joanna is it!

Joanna is the best dog walker ever. When I am drowning in work, she takes care of my pup as if she were her own. I am so grateful to her
