I live in a pet friendly building. I have a sweet golden retriever eager to be friends with your fur baby! We have a small fenced patio and a larger building patio we can access for some weekend fun. There are two dog parks nearby for some extra zoomies if you're into that! I am comfortable crating your pet if you prefer otherwise the whole apartment is their playground.

Information Joanna N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special behaviors I should be aware of. My dog is a sweetheart but is not neutered so we prefer dogs that are not aggressive or territorial. I want to ensure your dog has the best weekend ever so the more info the better!

A typical day

I love spending time outdoors with the pups! We'll enjoy going on long walks, hikes and visiting the dog park near by (if there arent too many dogs there at a time). If it's a stay-at-home kind of day, we'll enjoy puzzles and frozen treats for some mind stimulation.

Pet care experience

I have always been part of a dog-loving household. I truly believe pampering your pet is the only way to repay them for their unconditional love. Neighbors/friends have always relied on me to walk, play and love their pets like my own. Three years ago I became a mom to the best golden retriever so I am comfortable with puppy training. I ensure that every pups experience is exactly what they need.

Asha just got back from her first daycare with Joanna and her golden retriever Kylo, and it was fantastic. Asha is a rescue pup, and being around another friendly and confident dog is giving her so much confidence and reassurance. Joanna provided plenty of exercise and stimulation, and also cozy nap time. She was easy to schedule with. I hope that Joanna can dog sit Asha many more times in the future, and am grateful to have found her!

Joanna did such a great job watching Winston! Kylo was great company and seeing all the photos made me happy knowing Winston was in great hands!
