Pet care experience

Playful photographer who loves pets

I’ve had pets since I was a child and have always loved animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, newts, a frog, and take care of family and friends’ pets whenever they need a pet sitter. I’m a portrait photographer so I love taking their photos as they play and capturing their joyous spirits! Play time, walks, and good old head and neck scratches are some of my favorite activities. I have three cats of my own, with special health needs. If you need a reliable dog walker, pet sitter, or just someone to check in on them and be the love while you are away then please contact me. Helping animals feel loved and safe while you are away is my favorite thing to do. Just know you may be getting lots of photos in the process 😊 I provide services in your home or can take your dog around your local neighborhood or nearby parks for exercise and play time.

Joanna went above and beyond taking care of our cat! He got to love her and enjoyed time with her during the visits, purring and getting all the pets! He is a very shy boy, so that means a lot!! She also took care of our deliveries and trash pick up. We are very grateful and will absolutely be glad to have her again when we need to use rover!

Joanna did an outstanding job walking my 2 dogs this past week while I had an international business trip. Both dogs are big and full of energy and she handled with ease. She was very punctual and professional. Highly recommended.

Joanna helped me out on short notice when I couldn’t walk my dog and I’m so thankful. She was communicative, dependable, and so sweet with Emmy Lou. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for. Highly recommend Joanna!
