Joanne took care of our dog while we were on vacation. She has been very responsive and her place was great! We'll definitely book with her again!

Joanne was absolutely incredible with Korra! She has a beautiful home with a spacious backyard that Korra absolutely loved, along with plenty of toys and a cozy bed to make her feel right at home. Joanne also kept us updated throughout Korra’s stay with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Overall, she was fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!

Joanne accepted our last minute request and was a professional all throughout. When she noticed Vincent wasn't feeling well/normal, she immediately informed us and gave very detailed messages. I could tell Joanne cared deeply about our dog as if he were her own. Thank you!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 08, 2026

She took such great care of my pup for the day on short notice. Her dog is such a sweet gentle soul and got along great with mine. They all had a nice time in her big backyard to run around, she gave my pup love and treats - I’m sure he was very happy with the whole experience. :) Thanks so much!!

Schedule

As a college professor, my schedule can very by quarter. On some days, I might only have one class so more availability for boarding, walks, and daycare. I teach in the same area that I work in. I also have some days where I don’t need to be on campus and can do work from home. I will do my best to keep my calendar updated.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced backyard. I live on a fairly busy street so the focus is on the backyard and I have pets on leash if not in my backyard. Leashes for walks. I change fresh water twice a day and adhere to feeding requests. I am concerned about hot pavement and find other opportunities to get pets their needed exercise in summer months. I am familiar with senior care. Have direct experience with SQ fluid infusions, IM injection, and oral routes with liquid and tablet/capsules.

A typical day

There are a lot of good walks close to my house. Big yard to play in. I will get dogs out for AM and PM walks, with more adventures as needed depending on your pet’s needs.
