Your pets need a vacation, too!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Joanna! I am a hobby breeder of standard poodles in my spare time, but most of the time I am a full-time stay-at-home dog mom of 1 (and counting!). I have over 10 years of experience with pets of all types, sizes, and ages.

JoAnna, Is so sweet and treats our Louis like her own. Our Louis loves staying with her and has a great time. She does a great job sending pics and communicating.

We were nervous about leaving our dog with a sitter because we had never had to do that. Not sure if it was her being away from home or other environmental things but our dog came home not herself and it took about 5 days for her to get back to her normal self. I am only basing my review on my dogs behavior after being with the sitter. Joanna was sweet as can be and sent daily pictures. I just think that the sitter and dog wasn't a good fit for the time they spent together.

Joanna did a great job watching our sweet pup. She even was able to keep him an extra day as we got stuck due to changes with flights and delays. She sent us pictures everyday and treated our pup like he was hers. She loves some animals and it shows.

Information Joanna S. would like to know about your pet

I do accept puppies as well as intact females in heat. I do not accept intact males. Please pack for your baby: - Food - Medication - Collar + leash Please do not pack: - Bones/treats - Toys - Bowls - Crates (unless otherwise discussed) - Beds I will provide all bowls, crates, beds, and toys! I can provide food for an additional charge only when necessary ($5-$10/day). I do require a meet and greet to make sure your baby is a good fit for the pack, as well as require up-to-date rabies and DHPP vaccinations. This is for the safety of not only my own pets, but for yours as well. In addition, I do require flea and tick prevention, as your baby will assimilate into our home and will be on our couch etc. I am happy to provide this for an additional charge if needed (CapStar + K9 Advantage - $20).

A typical day

I am home all day playing with the pets! Your baby will feel at home as I just go about my day with them by my side. We will spend plenty of time outside playing.
