Pet care experience

All dogs & owners return!

I board 5 different dogs frequently and each one has returned again and again. I've owned dogs, and all sorts of animals, all of my life, volunteered & was trained at the Arlington Animal Welfare League & enjoy the flexibility & variety of boarding dogs. I have a side yard as well as a court yard with garden areas & closed in paths behind my townhouse for walks. I tend to spoil the dogs with affection, allowing them on the furniture but will always follow whatever rules the owners prefer be minded. Every dog I've boarded comes back with tails wagging, racing for the door and their owners know their dogs are very happy here. I've cared for dogs who return for over 4 years! Pick me!

Joanne is a wonderful woman and very loving with our 2 Westies, we recommend her highly! She also has the perfect setup in her spotless home. There is a convenient doggie door on the screened porch that leads to a fenced grass yard for the dogs to run and play. And our puppies don't want to leave when we pick them up, so we know Joanne is kind and attentive when they are in her care. We could not be more pleased!

Joanne has cared for my two miniature schnauzers twice, and each time the quality of care was perfect. My dogs were excited to return to her home on their second visit, and that is the greatest testimonial I can give. I am sure she will be attentive and caring with any pets in her care.

Joanne has cared for my senior dog several times, each for 2-3 nights. Her home is spacious, clean and easy for my small dog to navigate. Her doggie door and outside run make potty time easy. And she administered medications as instructed. I think they developed a special bond. Although my dog just recently passed away I would not hesitate to call Joanne again if I get another dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in grass area for your pup to play, get sunshine, and potty needs. I treat every pup as if they were one of my own!

A typical day

I work from home so lots of walks, lots of play and ball tossing. There is a dog park close by and if the owners approve I will take dogs there for some runs and romps.

I have no breed preference but prefer to not care for dogs who are individually aggressive. I've owned a wide range of breeds and cared for a wide range of breeds and find it's their training or individual personality that makes them aggressive, not their breed.
