Pet care experience
I have over 17 years of dog sitting experience. I started out by pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends while I was in high school and still love it to this day. I love caring for animals so much that I went to college to major in Zoology and minor in Captive Wildlife Management at UW-Stevens Point. My past work experience includes working as a zookeeper/animal care taker for 2 wildlife parks and 1 zoo. During my time in the field I learned how to care for a wide variety of animals and also learned to train a few animals along the way as well. My more recent animal care experience includes dog sitting for co-workers, being a volunteer dog walker for the local humane society, and also being a foster parent for dogs, cats, and small mammals through the local humane society.
Reviews
Joanne was so kind, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our puppy Georgia. She contacted us to set up a meet-and-greet first which I loved! It helped us know we were all a good fit for one another and that Georgia would be in good hands when in her care. Joanne was very prompt, communicated well, and sent a picture update during her first drop-in.
Joanne watches our Pug puppy, Poco, all day a couple of times per week, and she does a wonderful job! Poco is always excited to venture to Joanne's house, which indicates that Joanne is doing everything right when it comes to caring for our hyper, slightly naughty puppy. Joanne has a big backyard where dogs can run and play, and she is home during the day to give your pet a lot of attention. She monitors bathroom and water breaks, so I get a good sense of Poco's schedule. She also provides photos to us after every stay, which is an added bonus. I would HIGHLY recommend Joanne to care for your family's fur babies. A+!
Joanne is wonderful with all animals. Not only is she very caring, but she is incredibly knowledgeable about animal care. Along with her degree in animal management, she has a passion for animals and will be an excellent caregiver to anyone's pets. Any pet parent would be very lucky to have Joanne care for their furry family members.
Joanne is a very kind and responsible person. She is detail oriented and follows directions well. Joanie has good animal sense; she worked at Utah's Hogle Zoo on the Animal Care staff for several years. She knows how to work with and around all different kinds of animals-from ferrets to foxes. She also has a great sense of humor which makes her delightful to interact with! I highly recommend Joanie as a caregiver!
