Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired, loves lap dogs
I have been mom to dachshunds and mini dachshunds for the past 18 years. Currently I do not have any dogs. I have a tile floor with several area carpets. I am a retired professional woman who lives a relaxed lifestyle. I prefer smaller dogs, perhaps 25 pounds and under. I prefer not to sit for pups, dogs who are not house trained, or very energetic dogs who cause damage to the house. I have had experience with a puppy of my own and prefer not to repeat that difficulty. My yard is not fenced in. I walk dogs on a leash. I enjoy the company of dogs and look forward to helping you out and getting to know yours. I know you need peace of mind when you leave your dog with someone you don't yet know and I will not let you down.

Ratings and reviews
We couldn't have been more pleased with our pet sitting experience with Joanne! She is everything you could ask for: Caring, dependable, experienced, kind, and communicative throughout our dog's stay with her. We knew Berta was in good hands from the moment we met Joanne. Joanne went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and cared for at all times. Our trip was for more than a week so the right fit was a high priority. We will definitely use Joanne's services again. Thanks again Joanne!!
Blaze enjoyed his time at Ms. Joanne. She is super sweet and very loving to our pup. Looking forward to booking a stay when we go out of town again.
The best!
Joanne took such great care of Annie and we are so appreciative of that. Annie surely enjoyed her time there and that made us feel at ease knowing that she was in great care. I definitely recommend Joanne.
I have to say this first, I was very nervous leaving my girl for the first time outside of family but Joanne did an amazing job taking care of my Primrose. She was happy and healthy and kept her schedule perfectly. Joanne was very receptive and gave us an update every morning and evening which was perfect. I couldn't be more happy with how the week went. Thanks so much ma'am!
Joanne took great care of Gizmo. She followed his daily routine with meals and supplements. I appreciated the updates and pictures. He did well in her caring, quiet home🙂.

Schedule
I'm retired so I'm often home all day. I enjoy walking pups and take several long walks a day. If your pup is able to walk long distances (2 to 3 miles) they can come with me.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a safe home and keep the pups in the central part of the house, which is where I spend most of my time at home.
A typical day
I try to go on 2 long walks a day in the neighborhood since I do not have a fenced in yard. I also live directly in front of a cul de sac so it is good to walk pups there, away from traffic.
