As a retired mom and lifelong pet lover, I have the time, patience, and flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’ve spent years caring for pets of my own and helping family and friends with their pets, so I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well loved.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m an empty nester with a lifelong love for dogs. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve also helped family and friends by pet sitting for their furry family members. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and caring looking after your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Joanne was a delight to work with and my pet Duke absolutely adored her! As a first time Rover user having someone watch our pet overnight, I didn’t know what to expect but Joanne made it so easy. I would highly recommend Joanne and her pet sitting services. She was reliable, dependable, treated my pet like her own, and also treated my home like her own. I will definitely be asking Joanne to watch Duke again!

Trustworthy, conscientious, loving and caring that’s Joanne. My dogs love her because she cares for them as she would her own dog. Not only does she take care of the dogs but house sits too. I don’t worry when she’s at my home and I always come home and it looks like I never left. I would highly recommend her, she’s the best!
