Highlights
Pet care experience
From peace officer to pet sitter!
Your pets will be treated with kindness and patience, just like mine were. Experience with shots, pills, forced vomiting, and knowing when to get to the vet! Let me be your hands and feet while you're away!
Cat care experience

Joanna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I can travel to your house and take care of your pets, including large animals. If your animals like to travel, we would take them on adventures including walks and maybe to our Kootenai, Idaho home when sitting locally.
Ratings and reviews
Joanna and Kell were so awesome! Very responsible, prompt in responding, and great at giving updates on our dogs. We have 2 dogs and one (Jaz) gets rather traumatized when we go away. Joanna and Kell were very patient, supportive, and loving to Jaz, (and I am sure watching her wasn't easy). Took great care of our house as well. Even did a couple of home chores which I hadn't asked them to do! I would totally recommend Joanna and Kell!


Jo and Kel we’re wonderful. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We already have them booked again next month!! Thank you Jo and Kel!


Jo, Kell and Tricksy took amazing care of our crazy, sweet pupper!!! Jo kept us updated during our vaca so we had total peace of mind. 100% recommend her for dog and house sitting! Thank you!!

Very communicative! And keeps you updated. Was available for last minute drop in visit. Thank you Joanna!

Thanks to Jo, we were able to take a vacation with complete peace of mind. She took such good care of our pups and our home! Great communicator- sent us pics with updates on how each pup was doing. We couldn’t be happier with their care.

Schedule
We are a mostly retired couple and enjoy traveling. Keeping your animals cared for in your absence is a win win situation. I am a retired Trooper, and Kell has done everything, from Marine to professional sailor. We house-sit your pets in different locations so that we can afford to enjoy traveling more. Our home base is Kootenai, Idaho, but we love to explore new areas and Rover helps with that. Our calendar indicates the location we intend to be and hope to provide care at. Maybe our dates and location will work out for everyone! If another time works better, just ask!
