Pet care experience
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 a stay at home mom to a 17 year old. Pretty much always here except for school and sports drop off and pickups and running errands. Very supportive and helpful husband, here to help! 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. 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 am a stay at home mom 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!
Reviews
Amazing communication and we were sent lots of pictures. Kingsley had an amazing time.
Thank you so much for taking care of our puppies on short notice. They are always so happy to see Joanne
Joanne was amazing. She not only took great care of our cat, but she spent the time to document and send photos of his day with her. She really went above and beyond my expectations. We will be using her again in the future, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby.
Thank you so much, again, for taking such good care of our babies!

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.
Home
Information Joanne R. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have special needs? If they need medication how do they take it? Fear or aggression towards other people or animals? Treats allowed? Are they OK being picked up? Are they food aggressive? Do they eat/destroy blankets or dog beds? Are they any specific types of dog toys you do not want them to have? My biggest issue is barking. I can handle anything except a dog that is a continuous barker. Please let me know if this describes your dog and we can talk about it.
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.

Availability
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.
