Home away from home for fur babies

I have looked after dogs and cats for many years. While I don’t have a dog at home currently (my last dog, Iggy, an Australian Kelpie passed away in March at 15 years old) I would like to welcome fur babies from time to time.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 06, 2026

Joanna was amazing! From the moment I contacted her on the app she was very communicative, kind and reassuring. She was very flexible and open to our early drop off time and was also so kind in being open to our last minute change in plan on hiking. She went above and beyond, even taking our pup for a nice and lovely walk in a gorgeous park and making him feel cozy. We really felt reassured having our dog Sammie stay with her. Even her attentive questions about asking about his potty break schedule really shows how she cares. I have used this app in multiple places to get sitters like Seattle, Whistler, Spokane and Salt Lake City and hands down Joanna is the TOP one. Thank you for everything Joanna. Best sitter out there! :)

Joanna was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely use her again. She accepted our booking request at the last minute and was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Joanna was great with our dog. She took him on long walks, to a new location every day. Every morning our dog ran happily into her house.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 11, 2025

Joanna looked after our dog Charlie for 1 day. Charlie was well taken care of, taken out for a couple of walks and to the dog park nearby, as well as for frequent pee breaks. We were sent regular updates as well as photos of Charlie playing in the snow with Joanna and her daughter. Charlie seemed happy and content when we picked him up.

Joanna was great! Mabel seemed very happy and tired when I picked her up from daycare. Joanna gave lots of updates throughout the day with lots of pictures of their adventures.

Schedule

I work part time from home so I have plenty of time to look after doggies. It’s just my 9 year old daughter and myself and we both adore 4 legged companions.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a quiet cul-de-suc with plenty of greenery and snow in winter with a dog park near by (walking distance). I offer plenty of short outdoor breaks or long walks (whatever the preference is). I can provide regular updates and plenty of pictures/videos. I am happy to look after senior dogs or puppies as I have experienced with both.

A typical day

I always take a dog in my care for at least 1 long walk (min 1 hour) plus additional small walks/pee breaks as needed. I won’t leave your fur baby alone and I will always be at home when I am doggy sitting. Fur babies are allowed to hang out on the couch while they snooze away after a long walk/play outside.
