Pets are my passion
Pet care experience
**UPDATE** I recently broke my foot, so I will not be able to watch dogs that need longer walks. If your dog is lower energy and okay with going out to the dog park within my apartment, I will be able to care for them. Thank you for your understanding. I hope to be back to walking normal by the first week of June. I have grown up with cats and love their snuggles. I have owned 2 dogs. They were a border collie/lab mix and a springer spaniel. I raised the springer from when he was a puppy. I absolutely love dogs and being active with them. I feel I have great love and patience for any animal that I get to meet.
Reviews
First time boarding with JoAnne and it couldn't have gone better. Communication was easy and she's super responsive. She clearly loves dogs and seems like a great person - attentive, caring, friendly, professional. My young bernedoodle LOVED her. During this short 2-day visit JoAnne sent photos of their walks and down time at her place, really nice to receive especially during this first visit. I'll definitely book again with JoAnne - her high ratings are well deserved. (Thanks again, JoAnne. See you next time!)
Great at communicating, flexible, and sent lots of pictures!
Very easy to work with and accommodating with schedules
JoAnne was very accommodating and helpful during the entire pet sitting process. Very thorough, professional, and someone I feel I can trust. Would absolutely have her watch Salem again! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment, so smaller pets would be more comfortable. I have watched dogs up to 40 lbs. I make sure to take them out a lot on long walks or to the nearby parks to get out that energy. They are sure to receive a lot of love when they are under my care!
Home
Information JoAnne S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know anything that you think is important. Feeding times, medications, potty breaks, are they good around other dogs and people? As I live in an apartment, I need to how they are when left alone in a new place. I understand that they may bark at first, however consistent barking is not tolerated with my apartment or neighbors.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on long walks throughout NE Mpls. There are so many areas for the dogs to explore. I also enjoy going to dog parks if the dog will come when called and good with other dogs. On extremely cold or rainy days, I try to engage them with practicing their tricks and playing with toys.
