Joanna can care for
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.

About Joanna M.
Communication
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.

Reviews


Joanna was amazing!! She was extremely knowledgeable in animal care and loved hanging out with my boys! She also provided incredibly witty narratives in each of her updates, making it a joy to read them. I would recommend Joanna to everyone looking for an awesome sitter!


Joanna is the best. She always checks in before we leave. Sends updates and loves our dog and cat who are definitely quirky! Have had Joanna help us so many times!

I highly recommend Joanna. She was wonderful with my cat, who is standoffish with new people, and met her where she was at to help her feel comfortable. Very prompt and communicative, too, and even did a meet-and-greet beforehand. Will definitely rebook with Joanna!


Joanna was great with our girls! She sent lots of pictures and updates! She also took wonderful care of our house. We’ll definitely book with her in the future!
