Safety, trust & environment

I create a safe and welcoming environment for every pet I care for. At my home, I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed to prevent accidents and provide a calm atmosphere. I do not use crates unless specifically requested by the owner. I understand that each pet is unique and had particular needs, which I pay close attention to. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always respect the owner’s instructions. If caring at the client’s home, I do the same to make the pet feel comfortable and secure.

Information Joanna P. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about any special needs, medical conditions, behavior traits, fears or routines your pet has. This helps me provide the best care and make them feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me.

A typical day

I live in a safe apartment complex with lots of green space nearby where we can walk, run and play. I love keeping pets active with daily walks, fetch and lots of cuddles. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure every pet gets plenty of fun and attention to feel happy and comfy.

Loving Sitter with Psychology

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life, dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’ve cared for playful puppies, calm seniors and everything in between. Since I moved to Fair Oaks recently, I don’t have pets of my own right now, they’re still with my parents back home and I really miss them. I love pet sitting because it gives me a chance to care for animals with the attention and respect they deserve while adapting to their unique needs and routines. My psychology degree really helps me a lot with understanding each pet’s individuality and needs. I’m very attentive and gentle with pets and always make sure they feel safe, calm and happy. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, brushing, playing or just hanging out, I treat every pet with kindness and patience :)

Joanna is sweet and did a great job. She came to meet us and our two cats who are very fearful of new people. We were gone for a long weekend. She followed the detailed instructions and sent pictures of cats. I would book her again.

Joanna always takes great care of our babies and doesn’t mind following all of our silliest little requests for their comfort! I never have to worry if she’s taking care of them!
