I work remotely, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. For drop-ins, I’m typically available in the evenings after work. Working from home also gives me flexibility to accommodate schedule changes and respond quickly in case of emergencies, ensuring your pet always receives reliable care.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you give me. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and stress-free. I give plenty of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pets

Reliable, Attentive, Fun—WFH Sitter

Pet care experience

Lifelong pet owner: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with a family dog from puppyhood through senior years, and I currently have a cat I’ve raised since she was a kitten. I also regularly help care for friends’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. Experienced, attentive care: I have hands-on experience with both dog and cat care, including senior pets, feeding routines, and litter box maintenance. Having an energetic cat myself, I understand how important it is to give pets the right balance of attention, enrichment, and—when needed—space. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality— whether that means engaging in fun little games / activities or simply keeping them company. Professional and trustworthy: As a pet parent who has used sitting services myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby in someone else’s care. I aim to be the kind of sitter I would want for my own cat. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize reliability, clear communication, and attentive, thoughtful care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Safety-first mindset: I believe every pet is precious and deserves to be treated as such. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. Amateur paparazzi: Your pet will taste (respectful) fame. Expect plenty of photos and videos.

Joanne was perfecto. Brought her on at the last minute. She was super attentive and took notes on how to care for my 18 yr old kitty. She did a superb job and took nice pics and gave me a little description of all that occurred during each of her stays. Perfecto 👌

Joanne was great! She was very communicative and caring to cosmo. She sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond for our cat!! Would trust her to watch him anytime!

Joanne is someone I would trust with any pet without hesitation. She’s responsible and incredibly attentive, and all my pets were immediately comfortable around her. She has both dog and cat sat for me in the past and it’s great seeing how naturally she connects with them and how seriously she takes their care. She’s very reliable and thoughtful about following instructions, routines, and any little details that matter to pet parents. What really stands out is how present she is, she genuinely spends time with them and makes sure they’re comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for a sitter, then Joanne is an excellent choice.

Joanne took care of my babies during this long holiday. She sent me photos and videos of them every day, which really gave me peace of mind. Thank you so much for loving them and spending time playing with them!
