Loving Care When You're Not There

Pet care experience

Provider of dependable, loving, quality pet care, focusing on walking and pet sitting in clients’ homes. I will do whatever I can to make sure your pets are happy, healthy and safe while you are away. I have always had a heart for animals and have many years of experience as a dog owner, pet sitter, and shelter volunteer. I have had pets all my life, both in my childhood and adulthood. Currently, I have two miniature schnauzers, Theo and Emma, who have been with us now for about 8 years, and a fairly new addition, Timmy, a poodle mix who was a special needs foster dog that we adopted. I am a very active volunteer at Suncoast Animal League, a non-profit animal welfare agency. Through my work at Suncoast Animal League I have gained knowledge and experience through volunteering at rescues, providing care for the shelter dogs, fostering shelter dogs in my home, transporting, and assisting at adoption events. At the shelter, I am a Team Leader and Designated Dog Handler, working with dogs that require special care. I also have dog and cat care experience as an Independently Contracted Pet Sitter providing care for pets in the homes of clients. I offer a flexible schedule and can provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and belly rubs! I will keep in touch with you, keeping you updated through text messages and photos of my time with your pet. While at your home I will bring in mail, turn lights on/off, take trash cans in/out, etc. as requested.

Joanne takes such great care of our ‘senior’ dog. Comforting knowing she’s there when we can’t be!

Great Job-Always on time and super reliable. We appreciate how well she treats our dog and the care she takes in walking her and giving her attention while we are out for the evening. Cannot fail but to recommend her to any concerned pet owner seeking superior pet care.

Joanne has been a trusted caretaker for our mini dachshunds for a couple of years. From the moment they met her, they were at ease and so was I. My girls have come to love Joanne and their visits together. She always sends great pictures and updates and even goes out of her way to help with extra things such as bringing in a package or the trash can. My girls are part of my family and their care is of utmost importance to me. Joanne takes care of them as I would and I highly recommend her services to any dog owner.
