Loving home for all dogs

I have had dogs in my life from the age of 10 and have always made my dogs part of my family. I have a large 175 pound St. Bernard and a heart to match. He is a gentle giant and loves other dogs. I enjoy the company of dogs in my home and my home is their home. I walk regularly and take my dogs with me where ever I go. I always have water in my van for them and never leave them in a hot vehicle. I have a big secure porch and a closed in area for outside exercise. My dogs sleep inside and are most welcome to share my bed room with me at night, although I do respect the restrictions of owners if crates are required. I have grandchildren who visit regularly and they too, being pet owners themselves, love the comfort and companionship of animals and are very loving and kind to pets. My home is big and secure with sliding doors and screens to the outside deck with a secure area in the back to get exercise however, as mentioned, I walk my dogs at least twice a day taking them to off leash areas for plenty of outdoor activities.

Our 11 year old, Jinx, boarded with Joanne shortly after losing her bonded brother. Within 24hrs, she was relaxed and having fun with her new routine. Joanne is clearly fabulous with dogs and we expect Jinx will 'go on vacation' many more times. Thank you Joanne! 💕

Joanne LOVES dogs! Dogs LOVE Joanne! She just had my girl for an overnight stay and kept me well informed of the fun they were having together. Too much actually, my dog didn’t want to come home with me when I went to collect her, and wanted to stay with Joanne!!! She provides a genuinely loving home for their stay. Thank you, will definitely recommend/be returning.

Schedule

Pets fit into my daily life perfectly as I already have a dog and a cat. They are fed in the morning and may relax for the a.m. and then travel with me in the car for errands and walks and runs after that. My whole back van is set up for my animals giving them lots of room to stretch out.

A typical day

I walk with my animals a few times a day and spend time at rivers and lakes giving them time to play and swim. My backyard is big enough to throw balls and other toys and my grandchildren are always around to give extra love and attention to playful pups.
