Pet care experience

Home Full-time | Caring Dog Lover!

Dogs have always been a big part of my life and my best companions. I grew up caring for dogs at home and have experience with their daily needs, from walks and feeding to providing companionship and attention. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and needs, including senior dogs and those requiring long-term care and extra support. I enjoy building trust with each dog and creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while they’re in my care.

Joanna did a great job taking care of our dog Chewy! She sent us regular updates with photos and videos. Chewy looked happy and comfortable. We appreciate the care and attention Joanna gave to Chewy.

Joanna did a great job of taking care of my two dogs. She was very attentive to their needs and made them feel as comfortable as possible. She was also very good at sending photo and video updates while we were away, which made us feel less anxious to be away from them. I would definitely recommend her, you are leaving your precious babies in good hands.

Fred had an amazing 4-night stay with Joanna. We got lots of cute photos and daily updates on their adventures. I was beginning to wonder if Fred would be happy to see me or not, he was getting so comfortable with Joanna. Joanna impressed me right from the beginning - at our meet and greet, she had clearly reviewed all of the information on Fred's profile and asked lots of great questions. I would absolutely book with her again.

We left our dog with Joanna for around 3 weeks and she did amazing!! Joanna sent us regular updates about Marley with photos, and it was clear that Marley was happy, well fed, and well taken care of :)

Joanna is truly one of the best pet sitters out there. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone. She was incredibly caring, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire stay. My dog was dealing with a stomach issue, and Joanna went above and beyond to help her recover. Thank you so much, Joanna — when we’re back in Toronto, I can’t wait to see you again! 🙏

Joanna was so great with my little one and was very communicative. She welcomed my dog and made her feel right at home, including letting her stay on her lap while she was working. Looking forward to work with Joanna again.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pet in my home, located in a safe, family-oriented neighbourhood. They’ll have a cozy space to relax, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention.

A typical day

Each day includes regular walks, play sessions, and rest time to keep your pet happy and balanced. We might play fetch, enjoy strolls through the quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood, or simply relax inside. I keep a consistent routine to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved. Let’s chat about what routine suits your pup best!

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, personality, feeding times, and any special needs ahead of time, so I can keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away! I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am totally fine with the occasional bark, especially when pups hear people or activity outside. That said, frequent or prolonged barking can be tricky in an apartment setting, so I may need to kindly decline if your pup is prone to it. Thanks for understanding!
