Pet care experience
*Now offering housecall grooming services!* I have been grooming, pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking since 2010, and training dogs since I was 11 years old. I am a master groomer (I went to grooming school in Florida in 2014), a nurse assistant (since 2010), and was trained in pet first aid and CPR by the American red cross in 2012. I have been training dogs since childhood (started at 10 years old), and have alot of experience with all different breeds. ........ ..... ..... ..... .. ..... . ...... ..... ..... .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. . ..... ... ... ... ... ... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. ..
Reviews
Joanna took great care of our older dog with separation anxiety. She was accommodating on very short notice on a holiday. Would use her again to take care of our dog.
Dixie is a giant baby with lots of energy. Joanna sends me pictures the entire time I'm away. I know she is well taken care of the entire time. Fantastic!
I couldn’t be happier and have found a new go to for my dog sitting and dog grooming. My dog came back looking better than when I dropped her off. Thank you so much for taking great care of Cocoa!
Joanna did a great job taking care of my Aussie. She was easy to communicate with during the stay and my pup even came back looking better than when I dropped him off!

Dogs have been the focal point of my life for awhile now so I try to include them as much as possible in everything that I do. If need be, I can always bring dogs with me to my salon/ daycare. Dogs must pass a temperament test and be friendly around other dogs... I also have breed restrictions (ie no pit bulls or aggressive breeds), and will turn mean dogs away. They have to be properly socialized to be invited to stay. On weekends I usually am at home and have a nice private community where I walk my dog and any guest dogs that I have around. I am able to groom your dog before they leave either at my salon or in my garage at home.....I also live right by Melbourne mall and close to the airport.

Information Ava W. would like to know about your pet
#1: Are they housetrained? Upto date on their vaccines? #2: Are they food aggressive? Do they have food allergies? #3: Are they socialized or aggressive? #4: Do they have shampoo allergies? (if being groomed)
A typical day
I usually walk the dogs if I am at home once or twice (several times a day depending on the weather)....I find that walking them helps to ease their anxiety levels and makes them feel at home. I am a dog groomer so I have a private home garage salon and I also do house calls (nail trims and baths). (I always keep dogs separated if I am dog sitting from my grooming clients)
