THE DOGMOTHER

Pet care experience

Hi fur friends. I have spent the last 12 years boarding all sizes and breeds of dogs in my home since I retired. I have now transitioned over to caring for your pets in your home. This allows your fur baby to keep their same routine and eliminates any anxiety they may have experienced if boarded. I am experienced with most dog breeds. I will ensure the safety of your pets, your home, water plants, take in mail and most anything else that needs to be done on a daily basis. (I do have a 2 night minimum)

Joanna did a fabulous job - kept us informed - followed instructions - took care of not only our animals but all of my plants and house. Original instructions changed as we had a cat that needed medication and wound treatment and she adapted marvelously. We ended up having our flight cancelled and she was wonderful trying to accommodate our delay. Will use her again and highly recommend her.

We chose Joanna because we knew our dog would require someone to be with her most of the day due to her frequent medications and back issues. Joanna met with us ahead of time and we immediately fell at ease with her presence and understanding of our special needs. Our vacation was for an extended period of time so it was important to us that we would have a sitter in our home. Joanna sent us pictures and kept us updated frequently. She asked questions that helped us know she was really listening and responsive to our needs. I was so grateful for Joanna and her services she was an excellent match for our family. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Joanna for all your great care!!

Joanna was amazing with our 2 Australian Shepherds. She walked them daily, sometimes twice a day. She sent us pictures of them on their walks. Our Cali is skeptical of most people, but she warmed up to Joanna well. We are very leery of leaving our girls with anyone, but we will definitely be having Joanna stay with them again. It felt like our house was cleaner than when we left and she even tended my garden. Thank you.

Joanna was SO wonderful! She took great care of our two fur babies so that we could take a vacation. She administered multiple medications with no problems, took the dogs for walks everyday and even cleaned our home while staying overnight. It was such a relief having her as our care option ❤️
