Joanne can care for
Availability
I am a dedicated full-time pet sitter! I care for mostly dogs and cats. But I am open to small animals- ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I genuinely want to do the best job possible and satisfy every client. I am available on weekends and will work according to the set dates/times when the client requests for me to care for their pet. I always recommend scheduling a meet and greet before booking to ensure that the client can go over all the care instructions with me and provide me access to their home or if they are boarding in my home they can provide me the appropriate instructions for their pet and what I need to know about them. The only two major holidays I am unavailable are Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, as I am physically away helping my parents with their own small business. Unfortunately, I will have to decline any requests that fall into these dates. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I will take your dog out for daily walks around the neighborhood, and take them to local parks, dog parks, local hiking trails, pet-friendly stores, and the beach (bay side) with your permission. If they are not allowed to go anywhere specific, please let me know and I will abide by your request!
Information Joanne D. would like to know about your pet
What their personalities are like and if they can get along with other animals. I currently have ferrets at home. They have their own room and area that they freeroam in. Are they neutered or spayed? House-trained? Crate trained? Are they quiet and obedient? Separation anxiety? Can they be left alone for a couple of hours while I run errands or attend my medical appointments?
A typical day
During the summer, my husband and I love to go explore the outdoors. If your dog is boarding with me with your permission I would take them along with me! I have done this with my previous clients and they loved that their dog was having so much fun exploring new environments and enjoying the beautiful scenery. They were in love with the beautiful scenic photos of their dog! I would love to give your dog that same opportunity. I also believe that it would help me get to know your dog better on a personal level. I will always make sure they are provided with plenty of water and stay in the shade. If it is too hot, we will not go outside. During winter months, unfortunately, I do not go hiking as it is very, very cold, and I am well aware that dogs should not be outside for too long. So we stay nice and cozy inside my home, watching movies or playing fetch with their favorite toy! If it isn't raining and it isn't too cold, I would take them to parks as well as pet-friendly stores.

A Dog Sitter that shows love!
Pet care experience
I used to own a maltese and she has taught me a lot about what a dog's love is and how responsible you need to be able to take care of one. I have developed a deep love and understanding of dogs and animals since then. I love seeing animals play together, wag their tail, and smile at me when given treats or just by simply being next to me and falling asleep. It gave me such a warm, secure, and therapeutic feeling. The ability to protect the animal and give it unconditional love that I have never really experienced myself. I treat all my clients' pets as if they are my own and some of them I even grew an attachment with and I still think about to this day. I am a proud pet parent who owns five ferrets, who means a lot to me. They are my emotional support animals. I also have experience caring for other animals such as cats, guinea pigs, fish, red ear sliders, leopard geckos, and cockatiels. Additionally, I am a certified CLABP (Certified Laboratory Animal Behavior Professional) since 2019 with the Animal Behavior Institute.

Reviews
Joanne has always been our go to person for our kitties. Always on time and always does such a phenomenal job, sends us updates about them and pictures. Thank you Joanne!
I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate the phenomenal job Joanne does for our kitties. We never have to worry about them while we are away. She gives us a daily update with photos. Our little girl i can tell from the photos absolutely loves her. Thank you Joanne. You are the best!
Joanne provided high level care of our small breed dog. She was professional, responsive, and timely. She sent us pictures/videos each day and we knew after day 1 our pup was in good hands. Thanks again!
I would give Joanne 6 stars if I could. Everything about our doggy daycare was perfect. She sent tons of pics and videos and made sure Hero got lots of attention. We will be sure to repeat with Joanne again.
