I have a passion for animals, having grown up on a farm surrounded by horses, goats, dogs, and cats. I have been caring for my pets since the age of 8. My chores included feeding and watering my farm animals, milking the goats, as well as brushing & grooming them. I spent a lot of time in the barn, playing & cuddling with my beloved pets.

I have had Joanne for a couple of two week vacations for home visits for our senior cat. She is accommodating and very reliable. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.

I've known Joanne my entire life and she has always been a gentle protector of all animals: from dogs and cats to horses, goats, hamsters, chickens, birds, turtles and guinea pigs to name a few. When you leave your beloved pet in Joanne's capable hands, you can rest assured that she's taking great care of them physically and emotionally. Animals know -- they love her. If your pet has special health care needs, don't worry. Joanne has many years experience in the healthcare field and she is very knowledgable of how to take care of animals with special needs. She's an excellent listener and will follow your directions to a T. I highly recommend Joanne as your pet's caregiver. She's absolutely lovely and your pets will be spoiled with love.

Joanne has taken care of my dog several times and she did an excellent job. She really cares about animals and I felt so at ease knowing my dog was under her care. She sent me updates and pictures while I was away. She was great at communicating. I highly recommend leaving your pets with Joanne.
