Pet care experience

I’ve always loved and grown up with animals. Before and during college I volunteered at animal shelters, and I adopted my first pet 17 years ago. I can’t imagine life without them. For 5 years I volunteered at the Wild Animal Sanctuary, preparing food and feeding lions, tigers and bears and educating the public on the captive wildlife crisis. These past 8 years I’ve been part of two animal foster programs, Mile High Lab Mission and True Blue Rescue, both located in Colorado. Through these organizations I fostered puppies, seniors, strays, neglected and abused dogs, and everything in between until they were adopted out to loving homes. I recently relocated to North Carolina (July of 2022), and am readily available and excited to walk your dogs, drop in or house sit! I am also a professional artist and have done many commissions of pets (shameless plug), so if you’re interested in a drawing of your furry friends feel free to inquire! See my photos for examples, prices start at $160.

Our cat loves Joanna and he only likes 5 people. He is an extremely shy cat and Joanna went out of her way to make friends with him.

Joanna was super awesome. This was my first time using this app and having a stranger in my home. I bought a lock box so she could have access. She met Bella first before my trip. She was on time with the schedules, gave great notes and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs her services. I will definitely use again. Thank you so much for taking care of my Bella for me!!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or specific behaviors/personality traits beforehand so I can be prepared. As stated in my profile, I am an experienced foster so feel qualified to work with a variety of different types of dogs/animals.

Because I’m new to the area I’m excited to explore with your pet. Love running around with them, throwing balls/toys, anything to mentally stimulate them.
