Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet-lover extraordinaire!
I've loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a boxer (Teddy), and my parents now have Louie (featured in my profile pic!). I've dog-sat and dog watched for family (Louie), friends (Jade and Pepper - featured!), and neighbors (Gary - also featured!). I've done drop-in walks, day care at my own apartment, and overnight care as well. I miss dogs and pets in general, but while I'm too busy for one full time myself, I am not too busy for part-time care. I recognize that our furry friends are family, and should be treated with the utmost respect and love! I always come bearing treats and scratches.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets of my own, and I would not watch multiple pets at once to ensure your pet is getting all of my attention! I am big on treats and positive reinforcement of good behavior. I play with dogs and cats, and take dogs on walks. My work schedule is fairly flexible to be able to take a dog out for a potty break just about any time of day. I'm also big on sending owners pics throughout the day as check-ins to what is going on! Any questions feel free to ask!
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend! Jo took amazing care of my Goldendoodle, Callie, keeping her happy, active, and loved while I was at work—couldn’t ask for better.
Joanne was patient and attentive to Jack. My dog is pretty hesitant meeting new people. However, Joanne’s calm energy allowed Jack to be less fearful. He walked with Joanne with no issues which is wonderful!
There is no better caregiver than Jo! As a pet owner myself, I would trust her any and every day to take care of my pup. She is reliable, compassionate and responsible, and your dog will absolutely fall in love with her!

Schedule
I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. If given enough notice, I can walk or hangout with a pet during the work day (9-5). I'm more than willing to have house-trained pets in my home for the day, which would make it easier for me to take them out for periodic walks throughout my workday. I can also go to someone's house during my lunch break for to let a dog out or hangout for a bit, or even spend some of my workday at one's house if there's wifi.
