I love dogs and dogs love me.

Pet care experience

Even as a child my family loved dogs. As a young married women I groomed & trained a litter of Schnauzers for sale. After raising my family I started adopting rescue dogs. I believe in positive training methods. I’ve had Schnauzers, Beagles, Westies, Poodles and mixed breeds. I use to board dogs in my house with a large yard. Now retired on a limited income I live in an apartment and can have only one dog, I would like to be able to walk my dog with your dog. I would need to bring my dog with me if house sitting. One first time meet and greet would be needed to be sure our dogs are compatible. Thank you for giving me a chance to love your dog.

Joanne has taken care of our dogs through the years on and off. She cared for Baby and Buster as if they were her own - treating them like they were part of her family. Joanne is conscientious and intuitive when it comes to pets and pet-parents. I think one testimonial is when we meet her on the street our dog goes crazy wanting to go with her - whining and crying like she was their long lost friend. I used to board my dogs and they wouldn’t eat and came home with a whorse voice and you just know they cried all weekend. I now enjoy it when my pets don’t feel like they have “gone to jail” for the weekend and instead went to the spa. You will not be sorry leaving your pooch with her.

Joanne is an amazing caregiver—for people and pets. As long as I’ve known her, she’s had dogs who were trained, loved and spoiled. She has also pet sit for numerous friends’ dogs and she treats them as her own. She sat for my two long-haired daschunds and when I returned home after a business trip, she had them house-trained, kennel-trained and had treated them to some new toys. She trained her own dogs to ring a bell when they needed to go outside, recognize that each had individual time with her for cuddling and attention, and she walked them regularly recognizing that an exercised dog is a happy dog. If there’s such a thing as reincarnation, then in my next life I definitely want to come back as Joanne’s dog.
