Haiti’s Haven-a home away from home
Pet care experience
Hi there friends 🙋🏻♀️ About me: I am a lover of all animals big and small. I am a mama to Haiti, my sassy 12 year old Husky. She is my current love and obsession. She is my full time shot gun rider for all of life’s greatest adventures. When we aren’t caring for your floofs we are on the road chasing waterfalls and scenic views. I grew up having a variety of pets in my home since I was young starting with a beta fish and each year leveling up to something more fun. Over the years I have had fish, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, birds, cats and dogs. I first started pet sitting for friends and family to help tire out Haiti in her wild puppy years. In that time we have also lived with numerous roomates and their petmates throughout our travels which included cats and dogs of all sizes ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. Today we live with my boyfriend Bryan who loves animals just as much as we do and you will see him from time to time for meet and greets or when he is lending a helping hand with pups when he’s home. We have all grown to love the extra company and have become expert cuddlers. We have ample experience in dealing with a variety of animals and all their different temperaments and behaviors. We started using Rover when we moved to California and no longer had family to help with Haiti. I wanted her to have a more comfortable experience since she was getting older and the boarding facilities weren’t doing it for me. I wanted her to be able to stick to her routines and not be overwhelmed by numerous other dogs or being locked in a room all day alone. I noticed there was a need for a more personal, homey, and loving environment for our senior gal. When I received received word that I would now be fully remote I decided that we could be that safe space for pups when their owners were away. And so in 2020 Haiti’s Haven was born and we decided offer our home and services to your pups to be their home away from home. ✨ New to Rover?

Reviews
Joanna provided wonderful care of our dog. Hiro is a shy dog, but got along well with Joanna’s dog too. She was also very flexible as our return was delayed. We received many pictures and videos along with excellent communication. We highly recommended her services. Thank you Joanna!
I recently entrusted Joanna with the care of my dog Nizzy, and I'm more than pleased to share my experience as a review. This was our first time going to Joanna, and Nizzy has some separation issues and can be nervous. Joanna's loving and patient approach made all the difference. She showed extraordinary kindness and understanding, making sure that Nizzy felt comfortable and cared for. Her ability to connect with and calm a dog experiencing anxiety is truly commendable. I am deeply grateful for her exceptional care and highly recommend her services to other pet owners. Will book again!
Second booking with Joanna was just as amazing as the first! Joanna, her boyfriend, and Haiti were so good to my dog 🥲
We have a 1 year 4 month old Sharpei Rottweiler spoiled puppy, Nala, that has not had much interaction with other dogs and hasn’t been away from home much. She did great with Haiti (Joanna’s dog) and was so happy to be pampered by Joanna and her boyfriend! I received so many pictures and videos and updates that definitely put me at ease! I am beyond grateful for the love and attention they gave her ? I definitely recommend them!!!

Please have your profile and care information completed. Let me know if there are any extra things I need to know regarding temperament, routines or schedules just so we can make sure they feel right at home. I will set alarms for feedings and medications.

Availability
My Schedule 🗓️: I currently work from home full time so I am able to offer my full attention to the needs of my pup and your animals. With regular potty breaks or feedings to keep them on their normal routines and daily walks with Haiti. Please still reach out to inquire about possible dates even if they aren’t available, in the event we have a cancellation or things can be moved around and we can accommodate your request :) To help me offer the best care for your pets I like to only have one puppers or family at a time for new clients. I keep my availability open to two in case a booking falls through, for special circumstances or if I think two of my regular pups would be a good match as playmates.
