Pet care experience
I've cared for a range of dogs (and other animals - cats, birds, ducks) growing up on a farm in Northern California. Our 4 dogs were a mini Aussie mix, husky, chihuahua, and pit/lab mix. All rescues, of different ages. I love dogs and want to be a new friend for your canine! As a service & medicine focused student, I'm attentive to detail, and my varying experience with dogs allows me to adapt to each personality and need. I got into Rover because of how much I miss caring for dogs and for the mutual love and fun of it. I'll only take requests when I know I'll have the time and space to really care for your pup/pets! I have one very friendly, social cat who I adopted after fostering. They've done well with various sizes of dogs, being very friendly or curious about them! Has never swiped at one, if they feel unsure they will just go to their own hiding spot. I find that pet sitting helps me keep a good schedule, as well as get to meet great people and pets. When at your home for drop-ins, walks, or housesitting, I’m sure to always follow your house rules and guidelines for keeping your pet safe and comfortable.
Reviews
Pickle stayed with Joanna while we were traveling and we couldn’t have had a better experience!! She sent us pictures throughout the day and took Pickle on many adventures - to the dog park, puppy play dates and patio sitting!! We are so grateful for Joanna’s care of our pup!
Amazing care, as always! Thank you, Joanna.
Thank you so much, as always, Joanna! Keebler had a great time.
Keebler had an amazing time with Joanna (and Spicy). Joanna was very thorough, communicative, sent lots of updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make Keebler comfortable. Thanks so much, Joanna!

Home
Information Joanna F. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to have a meet and greet before hosting or visiting any dogs. However, things can come up last minute, so I understand if a pet owner needs last minute care! I'm always happy to help. Before any services, I'll make sure to ask about your pup's: - likes and dislikes - personality - exercise routine - feeding routine/schedule - emergency information (allergies, vet info, etc.) Owners can always be assured that I find safety and communication to be most important, and can rely on being able to check in with me.
A typical day
I love walking around and exploring, and I'm happy to take long leisurely walks - whether your pup prefers parks, sidewalks, or riverside trails. I'll take your advice on your dog's favorite walks around your neighborhood.

I currently work part time at NYU, about once a week in office. Most other days I’m home/remote and around for your pups. I’ll always communicate my schedule of whether I’m in office or not.
