Warm-hearted and Attentive Care!

Pet care experience

Dogs have played an important role in my life and I have always enjoyed caring for them as well as their companionship. We have a welcoming home with a fenced yard and large covered deck. 3 young adult children are currently living at home, attending senior high school, college and university. I am at home full time. We all love being with dogs, whether its playing fetch, hiking, walking, or snuggling with them. Our golden doodle passed away last spring at age 12. He is dearly missed and although one day we will get another, for now I am happy to dog sit. Gracie, the cat, usually appears once dogs and people have gone to sleep! Thumper, the bunny, lives outside in his hutch and comes in occasionally for visits. I look forward to making a comfortable and happy stay for your fur baby!

Joanne was absolutely fantastic with our Tali! We have never used Rover before and her warm personality put us at ease right away. She gave us several updates including photos during our dog’s stay, which were very appreciated. Joanne was flexible and really made me feel that she loved spending time with Tali. I will use her again if I’m in the area and recommend her to others without hesitation.

Our little guy had a great time with Joanne. They took walks, had dinner and cuddles. Joanne sent pictures and kept us posted all day. She was very caring and kind ensuring he had a nice space to play and rest. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Joanne was very very good with our doggies. I was nervous to leave them since it was their first time and she took the time to text me pictures and updates. Her home was safe and welcoming. Joanne is a very calm person her puppy Winston is a delight. We'll be back :)

Joanne has been amazing in caring for our dog from time to time. She has a genuine interest in, and love for animals. Our dog Harmony often would not want to come home. I see this as a compliment to Joanne and the way in which she ensured Harmony would feel comfortable in her home.
