If I could give JoAnne more than 5 stars, I would. We hired her to stay with our Great Dane, Gandalf, for three days while we were camping. He had just had surgery, so this wasn’t a typical pet-sitting job. She stayed with him around the clock, administered all of his medications, monitored his recovery, and gave us complete peace of mind. JoAnne kept us updated throughout every day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages, so we always knew exactly how Gandalf was doing. It was so clear how deeply she understands animals. She has an incredible intuition, endless patience, and a genuine love for the pets she cares for. What completely blew us away was everything she did beyond caring for Gandalf. She unexpectedly cleaned our home, folded our laundry, and even washed all of our bedding so we came home after traveling to fresh, clean sheets. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and something we never expected. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate house honestly felt unreal. JoAnne is the real deal. She’s one of those rare people who genuinely loves both animals and people, and it shows in everything she does. We trust her completely and won’t hesitate to book her again. She is an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets.

Joanne was an absolute lifesaver while I was away for a few days. I have a little puppy, and I needed someone reliable to keep a close eye on him and provide him with comfort during my first time away. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of pet care. Ollie and I adore her, and we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing her again soon. :)

JoAnne is wonderful! She is caring, attentive and a great communicator. We have an elderly dog who needs extra attention and an energetic American bulldog mix and JoAnne gives them both exactly what they need.

Thank you for the love and great care of our dogs. The updates were wonderful while we were away and the dogs were so happy when we arrived home. We look forward to having you back the next time we travel. Thanks!
