Pet care experience
My family has had Germany Shepherds since I was young, and while I don't own any dogs currently, I'm well versed in how to take care of them. I also have experience admitting both oral and injected medication, and for taking care of special needs pets.
Reviews
Always a great experience with Joanna. My German Shepherd loves her!
Thanks Joanna for taking care of Palmer and Carson. We hope the cat didn't wake you up too much in the night. Appreciate your help with pets.
Joanna was great with my German shepherd! He is usually slow to warm up to people but she was the first he just flopped on the floor for when they met the first time!🥹
We were super nervous about leaving our dog alone for the first time since moving, he'd usually be watched by family. Joanna was so great and took excellent care of our boy and house! She sent us pictures of him every day and gave us regular updates on how he was doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pets looked after!
About Joanna M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to watch animals in their own home environment as I find that this makes them feel more comfortable with their owners being out of town, surrounded by familiar sights and smells.
Information Joanna M. would like to know about your pet
- What is your dog's typical daily routine? - Does your dog prefer to roam or are they crate trained? - Does your dog have any food aggression or are they "protective" of their people? - Is your dog good with other dogs? Do they enjoy visits to the local dog park or are they more the "solo walk" type?
A typical day
Depending on your dog's comfort level, we can: - Go for neighbor hood walks twice daily - Visit the local open space and dog park - Play fetch and run around the large backyard - Snuggle! If your pup is more a couch potato than an eager beaver, we can laze and nap to their heart's content! My goal is to make your dog comfortable so I'll do whatever I can to make them happy.
Services
Joanna can watch in your home
Availability
I work at a busy veterinary practice as a veterinary technician, typically four days a week from 7:00 to 5:00. However, I do have a lunch break when I can check in on your kiddos and make sure everyone's good! Outside of those hours, my schedule is flexible enough that I can work around your comfort as well as your pet's.
