Pet care experience

VIPawperience:Exclusive loving care

Hello, my name is Joanna and I have extensive experience caring for and behavior training dogs at all stages from puppies to seniors. I am familiar with different breeds of dogs and their unique temperaments so can easily read and adjust my care and training based on their specific needs. I don't have my own dog so your fur baby will get my full attention and care. I live near community parks and walking trails so your fur baby will get plenty of fresh air, exercise and socialization. They are free to roam unrestricted in my home as well as have easy access to outdoor space. Your pet will be supervised at all times, cared for according to your instructions and loved as if they were my own.

Joanna took fantastic care of Maiev when I had to leave town for an impromptu trip over the course of a weekend. She was very accommodating to Maiev’s needs as an active and somewhat nervous dog, making sure Maiev felt comfortable every step of the way. Joanna’s updates and responses were prompt and timely, and I can tell Maiev had a great time in her company, going for regular walks, playing tug-of-war and fetch, and snoozing nearby. I’m very happy with Joanna’s services!

Joanna was amazing! Will continue to use her as our dog sitter. She was professional, never left our dogs’ side, and kept us updated. Her place is very clean and great for dogs of all ages. Highly recommend her

Duke had another amazing stay with Joanna! She takes great care of our senior dog and makes sure he gets his meds on time. We love all the photos she sends while we are away and we love how happy Duke looks in all of them! Cannot recommend her enough!

Schedule

Pet care is a consistent part of my daily schedule, involving feeding, walking, giving any meds, basic training and playtime. I work from home and am a proud mother of two grown children. With an empty nest, I find joy and purpose in dedicating my time and energy to giving your fur baby the highest quality of care. When you book with me, you can be assured that your pet will receive my undivided attention and loving commitment.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in Irvine in Eastwood Village. My home is a second story flat with a large balcony and an unfenced grass area in front. The neighborhood I'm in is very dog friendly with plenty of open grass areas and dog waste stations. My home is designed with dogs in mind, providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space. You can rest assured your fur baby will be loved and cared for just as you would at home.

A typical day

I strive to replicate your dog's typical day as closely as possible to create a familiar and comforting environment. By mirroring their usual feeding schedule, exercise,playtime,and bedtime habits, I help ensure a smooth and stress free transition while they're in my care. With that said, a typical day with me may include walks, games of fetch, puzzle toys, practicing basic commands, shared nap time, a bit of people-watching, and of course, enjoying meals together. I only give your pet the food and treats you provide.
