Josie-Founder Lifesaving Pet Rescue

Pet care experience

I currently have 5 cats and one dog, if I could I would do rescue as a career. I love animals, and I am the founder of Lifesaving Pet Rescue. I foster cats and kittens, train people in TNR. I am also the adoption coordinator for Angie’s Stray Foundation. I work full time M-F, I am home by 4 and off on weekends. I have two grown children and one grandchild. I know 1st hand how hard it is to find a sitter who will follow the care instructions you leave, and love your pets like their own. I also know how hard it is to find someone local you can trust. I promise to be that person for you. I will honor your walking / feeding schedule and happily send you updates with each visit.

Joanne is extremely professional & our dogs were well cared for & loved while we were away. She spent time giving belly rubs & cuddles. Our pets love her! Highly recommend for any pet services.

I felt like my 3 fur babies were in a safe and loving environment thanks to Joanne D. I loved all the pics she sent to me. I definitely will be a repeating client.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to have a meet and greet prior to providing pet sitting services. This way we can get to know each others and I can meet your pet!

Information Joanne D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance if your pet has special needs. A tendency to run off. Has any quirks. Anything that would be helpful to know.

A typical day

For dogs: Toss the ball around, take little walks, sit with them, talk to them. Keeping them company is vital since they are spending so much time alone. For cats, I have a large window, an automatic laser light toy, I keep the TV on to make them feel at home. On days I work at home, I often sit in the room with them when I have conference calls. I can board in my home or do drop in visits at your home (generally 1 to 2x a day). I do not currently offer dog boarding.
