Information Joanne S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know about any routines, special needs ahead of time. Things like favorite toys, feeding schedules, fears, or medication, so I can keep them happy and comfortable and feeling right at home while you are away.

A typical day

I’d make sure we have lots of playtime, fetch, playing with toys and spending time together. And of course, plenty of belly, rubs, treats and cuddle breaks to keep those tails wagging.

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’ve been caring for dogs for over 30 years and I love what I do. I’ve looked after pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities - from playful puppies to senior sweethearts- I’ve never had a single problem or unhappy client. Im also a proud parent myself of two adorable Shih Tzus and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s daily drop ins, weekend stays or just extra love and attention while you are away, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own.

We won’t leave our furbabies with anyone else. Joanne loves our dog and cat as much as we do and they barely miss us when we’re away. Love that she sends us pictures and updates while we’re gone. She truly is wonderful!

Joanne has been such a gift for our pets and our family. She always is there when we need her, even jumping in at the last minute when unexpected trips come up. The best part is seeing how excited our dogs and cats get the moment she walks through the door. It’s clear they adore her and feel completely safe and loved in her care.

Joanne Smith is hands down the most loving and attentive pet sitter we’ve ever had. We’re so grateful for the care she gives, she doesn’t just come and go, she truly spends quality time with our animals. Her gentle, compassionate nature shines through in everything she does. It’s clear she has a huge heart for animals, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands.
