A dog-lover for life!
Pet care experience
Dogs have been part of my family for over 30 years and I like to have fun with my dogs! I have only ever owned one at a time and I often dog-sit for friends, so am used to different personalities of dogs. I have a large fenced backyard for the dogs to play in, rain or shine! I have towels at every door and have little chats with them while wiping off their feet when they come in if they've been playing in the rain. My dog is a seven-year old mixed-breed female, and at 45 lbs, loves to play and run. If the dog is good off leash, I can take them to a local park for a run; however if the owner is nervous about their dog being off leash, on-leash walks are easy to do in my neighbourhood as it's quiet and has some lovely trails. I work from home which means I am around during the day, should you be looking for doggy daycare. Please note: my house is 1908 and while the basement is level entry, there are stairs to enter the main floor. Also from Sept 24 to Oct 30 I am working full-time with the BC Election and have had to reduce my services. Oh, and remember to VOTE on Oct 24!
Reviews
Joanna has been great with Luther. She showed up in time, and has been mindful of my dog needs. I valued her pragmatic approach and the enthusiasm. Luther will enjoy more walks with her!!
Joanna took Wicklow and Jimmy out despite the terrible weather (the dogs love the rain..) they came home happy and dirty. Joanna hosed them off and dried them before letting them in. What a delightful addition to the Rover team of pet caregivers. Highly recommend Joanna. Irena
Joanna responded quickly and was very flexible in timing. She helped sort out the best service for our dog and sent some great photos. Mel loved her and was very well behaved! Thank you Joanna!
NOBODY would be a better dog sitter than Joanna. In the 20 years i've known her, she's always had a dog at her side. She respects their need for exercise, care, attention, and love, and treats dogs as family members. She is dependable and trustworthy - I just hope she leaves time for my dog!

Information Joanna F. would like to know about your pet
Are they okay with other dogs? Are they okay off leash or must they remain on leash? Do they need to take medication? Are they vocal when they're outside? I always schedule a meet & greet with you and your pup, preferably away from both our homes and with my dog Pazza. It is essential that Pazza gets along with your pup as her comfort level is paramount.
A typical day
I live in an area that has access to nice parks, trails and beaches for walks and have a large fenced backyard for the dogs to play in.
