Safety, trust & environment

I have a yard that I walk my own dogs in as well as play with them on an outside line so they can run more freely. Others dogs would get this same leisure! I am able to crate them if necessary, but am home most of the time so crating usually only at night time. They will be able to take as many potty breaks needed, get lots of play time, of course attention, and have access to water all day long (unless otherwise specified). Note* If they are not good with cats, that is not a problem as mine stays separated from any dogs beside my own.

Information Joanna R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs to be crate trained during over night stays, as I have personal dogs as well and I like to keep everyone safe when there isn’t an eye on them. I do have cameras up throughout my house.

A typical day

I love to provide mental & physical enrichment for dogs by playing brain games, doing training exercises and playing. Walks are always provided and trips to the park if schedule allows. However, I do not use dog parks for safety, I take them to the regular park for walks.

Pet care experience

For as long as I remember, animals have been the only constant defining piece of the puzzle that is my life. I have personally raised dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, hamsters, goats and a lamb! Training, raising and saving animals gives me hope and a purpose. My experience goes all the way back to my first dog at the age of 9, who passed at the old age of 16.5years old in 2025. I have ridden and worked with horses for many years, as well as started my dog training journey in my later teens, turning it into my profession ever since. My goal is to provide top quality care to pet owners, as I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets behind and do not take that responsibility lightly. I know how I want my animals treated should I ever have to leave them, so I strive to give that same (picky) care to other owners. I have boarded & trained dogs for over 4 years and plan to open a boarding facility for both canines & equines in the future.

Joanna & Sebastian were absolutely wonderful! They were very quick to respond to our last minute request and were super patient with our nervous dog. They sent us updates and photos so I felt very comfortable! I would definitely book with them again in the future!
