Happy at Home

Pet care experience

Having grown up with a rotating cast of dogs I am comfortable around big and small, slow and energetic dogs. Our family lost our loving 12yr old lab mix rescue and we have lots of love to give your pup! Our Place or Yours? We will play with you pooch, and get some wiggles out in the neighborhood. Lots of kind words and belly rubs complete the care and your fur baby will be ready for a rest until you come home. Having your “Rover” in your home gives you the peace of mind you need while you are away. Skip the kennel, or transporting items to another home, and keep the environment familiar—-I make “house calls” :) Pup need a getaway while your away? Our family has three capable teens and two adults so someone is always home with “Rover”. We have a great neighborhood to walk and lots of exciting wild life smells! Let’s do a “Meet and Greet” to see if we are a match!

We absolutely loved having Joanna watch our two dogs! She showed them so much love, care, and patience that we knew our dogs were well cared for the entire time. Our dogs require extra medical attention and she ensured they stayed healthy. Joanna also does a great job of caring for the house she is staying in and we came home to no issues along with happy dogs. 10/10 recommend her and would book again!
