I work from home, so I’m around during the day for feedings, walks, playtime, and company. I’m also an active person, which makes it easy for me to keep up with pets who have more energy, while still sticking to their usual routines. With the flexibility of my job, I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs.

About Joanna C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are cared for in a comfortable, relaxed environment with access to my backyard and nearby walking trails for regular walks and fresh air. I do have a cat, so any pets staying with me need to be cat-friendly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routines closely — from feedings and walks to playtime and litter care — so they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. For drop-ins, afternoons and evenings work best with my schedule, but I’m always happy to chat and find what works best for you.

Information Joanna C. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I like to know a bit about each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. This includes feeding schedules, walking habits, energy levels, and any quirks or triggers to be aware of. I also appreciate details about medical needs, medications, allergies, or mobility limitations, as well as how your pet does with other animals, people, and new environments. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
I like to keep pets engaged in ways that match their personality and energy level. This can include walks on nearby trails, backyard playtime, games, and enrichment activities, as well as quieter bonding time for pets who prefer a calmer pace. For cats, that might mean interactive play, brushing, or simply keeping them company on their terms. I always follow the pet’s usual routine and preferences so their time with me feels fun, comfortable, and familiar.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs and horses. I currently have my cat, Bear, who was raised alongside my Great Pyrenees, Bandit. I adopted Bandit when he was five and cared for him through his senior years, including managing daily medication and the extra attention that comes with an older, large-breed dog. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care, whether I’m looking after cats, energetic dogs, or senior pets who need a gentler approach.

Reviews
Pem was excited to spend the day with Joanna and she treated him very well. Highly recommend.
Felix and kitty (toy poodles ) enjoyed their stay.
Our boys had a great visit with Joanna! Our cat is very timid, but he settled in well. And our dog had a great time going for walks. Thank you, always great to know our friends were in good hands, happy and entertained 🙂
Joanna was excellent, and our dog adored her. Highly recommend.
