Highlights
Pet care experience
Join our furry family!
Please, NO LARGE DOG REQUESTS OR DOGS WHO JUMP HIGHER THAN 3.5’. My fence is only 3.5 feet in the front and I have no desire to chase your dog around Marion County, Iowa. I’m sorry- but I cannot accept medium-large and large dogs. I live on 50 acres in rural Marion county. A doggie door into the laundry room allows dogs access to the fenced yard and deck areas, but not enough access to roam the property without supervision. I have 2 adult children to help me out as well. Our home has four dogs. Consideration for large and extra large dogs based on need. PLEASE NO UN-NEUTERED DOGS OR MALES WHO MARK!! With as many guest dogs as I have, I cannot take dogs who mark- it ruins my yard and landscaping and they tend to mark inside the house. If your male has a belly band and is trained to use it, I will consider an intact male. About this sitter: I live on 50 acres outside of Knoxville, Iowa. I love animals of all kind. I have 4 dogs. I am a flight attendant and typically work 3 days on- 4 days off. My young adult children can also help with dog care if my flight schedule overlaps with dog sitting days. Why I love dog sitting I've been a pet lover my whole life- was born into a dog family and now my family is an animal family too. About my yard We have 50 acres and the dogs are contained to our side yard until we let them off to go play supervised. Dogs are fed twice daily and socialized with my pets. A community water dish is always fresh and full. Dogs are like people at my house! I have a fenced yard and deck with access to a doggie door into the home to keep your dog safe. I also have an Apple airtag I will put on your dog’s collar so I can track him or her in case of a break out of the yard. They also get an ID tag with my contact info that says “guest dog” so my neighbors can call me in case of a break out.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joanne was super accommodating with a last minute reservation. Would definitely use again.
Joanne did a wonderful job taking care of our pup! She had great communication with us and sent lots of pics while we were away. Oscar seemed very happy and well-loved. We'll definitely be reaching out to Joanne again in the future for boarding. Thank you!!
We had a great experience boarding our dogs with JoAnne! Your dogs will feel right at home. She is a true dog lover. She kept in touch with lots of updates and pictures. Very satisfied with our boarding experience.
Would not hesitate to use Joanne again. She kept us up to date on our dogs progress by text. They even slept with her in her bedroom which made them feel safe. We have 2 miniature dachshunds.
Excellent care! Halsey did not want to come home!
Joanne was very accommodating and nice. She communicated well. We would def return as needed for her to watch our medium sized dog.

Schedule
Your dog would just fall into step with my dogs and join our schedule. We eat twice a day and follow a pretty normal routine.

A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks The dogs get out and play on the farm, so scheduled walks don't necessarily happen! Your dog's sleeping arrangement If your dog is used to a kennel, they will sleep there. Otherwise, we have dog beds in the living room and bedrooms.
