Highlights
Pet care experience
Exp breeder/day care/boarding
I have been an AKC Dog Breeder for 37 years for Great Danes and Boston Terriers. Stay at home mom except for 2 years at a Doggie Day Care, only left due to pregnancy. Extremely knowledgeable in pet 1st aid and dog socialization. Have not met a dog yet that does not like me. I have the time to play with, exercise, walk and enjoy every dog/cat in my home. All dogs will be fed separately to avoid any possible aggression. Dogs are only left outside during potty breaks and playtime, other than that they are indoors inside my home. If your dog needs to be kept separately no problem. I am am an empty-nester, pretty much always here except for running errands and doing drop-ins with a very supportive and helpful husband that is always willing to help out. I do not have a huge yard, but plenty of room to play and it is all soft artificial turf and concrete so your dog will not come home dirty. The fence is new and extremely secure. I have 2 dedicated dog rooms in my home with crates, beds, blankets and toys that they will sleep in. My dogs are extremely well socialized and love to play with new friends. I also do have a set up for dogs that like to sleep alone and be let out and have play time on their own. I do not work outside the home other than for Rover, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can usually accommodate most scheduled drop of and pick up times. My yard is fully fenced with a NEW sturdy fence, locked gate and new artificial turf. All boarders and day care animals are treated like one of my own. Please come meet me and visit my home and see if this would be a good fit for your babies. For drop-ins they will get love, play time and anything you have requested - I do stay the entire time and possibly longer! Experience with disabled and seniors and giving oral medication and injections.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I’ve already booked with Joanne twice, and she’s been wonderful both times. She took care of Zoe like she was part of her own pack, which gave me so much peace of mind. Joanne is very communicative, kind, and clearly loves the dogs she cares for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup.
Joanne was very responsive throughout the stay with timely updates. Will book with her again. Thank you!!
Thank you for taking such great care of our cats.
Dog loved it and we're very thankful.
We were lucky to find Joanne and have her look after our cat, Max. He's a shy one and hides a lot. She must have superpowers because he came to her and let her pet him right away. She was punctual and let us know how he was doing every day with lots of pictures. Thanks Joanne, we really appreciate you looking after Max and will definitely be contacting you for future bookings.
Love Joanne! She took such great care of my fur babies! Always got updates and pictures.

Schedule
Pet care is my daily routine, basically the focal point of my life. The animals in my home are my priority, loved, attended to and very well taken care of and spoiled. They are allowed on furniture and beds unless specified otherwise by the owner.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
All pets are treated as individuals based on their needs and their socialization skills, energy level, age and personality. My house is very clean as well as my yard - you will never find any waste in my yard. Water is changed constantly.
Pets
A typical day
Walking, running, dog parks (if they are 100% used to going to them and extremely well socialized - I will not take a dog to the dog park until I know them well) , if they like to swim - Delta trips, playing fetch or frisbee, socialization with other dogs if they are open to that. Loving, hugging, bathing, treats and one on one snuggle time.
