Joanne and her daughter, Jasmine, are so refreshingly NORMAL!!! And, as you know, it's tough to screen the "eccentrics" on these internet sites. Jasmine and Joanne have cared for our Lucy several times over the past year or so, and they're one of the very few sitters with whom Lucy doesn't have a panic attack upon arrival. Because of her separation anxiety, Lucy would shake when we arrived at a sitter's house, and she would return exhausted. She once lost 15 pounds in one week at doggy hotel. Even after an extended stay, Lucy returns from Joanne's house as if she's come back from a walk - a total non-event - which is exactly what a dog owner wants to see! And equally as telling, is how Lucy runs to their front door when we go to drop her off. Need I say more?

Joanne tended to and took care of my English Bulldog, Atticus, as if it was her own child. Atticus received the utmost care, attention, and care during his nearly three-week stay with Joanne and her wonderful family. At one time, Atticus even ran out of food that I packed and Joanne took food out of her own supply. If you want someone you can trust and won't have you worrying about your furry loved ones while away, Joanne is your go-to-gal.
