Availability

I’m currently working full time, but my job is remote so I will be home all day to keep an eye on any pets boarding with me. I am also free all weekends as well. My job is very flexible and I can walk a dog every 1-2 hours if need be.

Information Joanna R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is special with needs, senior (senior care), requires any medications, feeding times/instructions, high anxiety levels, high energy, and incontinent – in order for me to adjust to their needs.

A typical day

There is a dog park in my apartments as well as a bigger one 10 min away. I take dogs out to play fetch and socialize with other dogs. I have cat toys and treats that the other boarded cats can have/play with as well.

Could not recommend Joanna more! She was communicative, kind and a true lover of animals. She sent videos and pictures of my dog throughout each day and was very thoughtful. Will definitely rebook!

Joanna is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has a special way of connecting with animals, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Joanna always goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each pet, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I trust her completely with my pets, and they’re always excited to see her. Highly recommended!
