I have a heart for animals

Pet care experience

I have owned small dogs most of my life. I am lucky to have a Pom mix named Pixie, two black lab mixes (one terrier, the other Great Dane) Lena and Duff. I also have two amazing cats Loki and ck I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have cared for senior citizen dogs with special diet and had to be carried outside to the bathroom frequently. I have experience administering medications to dogs and also have been insulin certified for humans. I'm willing to learn and adapt for whatever unique challenges your dog/s may present. We have three cats in our home so I am used to taking responsibility of feeding and cleaning litter boxes. I enjoy playing and petting with animals. I read the owners' info listed. I respect all their personalities and work to win them over. I will follow the owners' requests and am here to provide the optimal quality of care. Please feel free to ask me anything!

JoAnna was great for my dog! She walked him and played with him in a near by dog park. You can tell she cares highly for animals. I would definitely recommend her!

JoAnna did a great job It was our first time using rover and Joanna came and was patient with Bo while he got to know her and sent pictures of them on their walk.

Very friendly and understanding of my dogs needs and training. Was familiar with rescue dogs and some of their specific needs.

Had a great experience. Did really well with my two cats (and the porch feral) and handled some complications (like a finicky gate code and very cold weather) like a champ.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the pets’ routines as requested by my client. I ensure their comfort and safety. I communicate with the clients as much or as little as requested. I love to share photos and ancedotes.

Information JoAnna M. would like to know about your pet

I am able to help administer any medications needed. I need clear written instructions for anything I should know so I have a point of referral to provide optimal care. I need to know their reactions to strangers and animals outside.

A typical day

I would take them to the dog park if so desired, cuddle and play them at home. I am willing to be flexible to meet their needs. I am very observant to any pacing, discomfort, boredom. I will immediately get on their level to give them whatever attention they desire.
