I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I follow instructions closely, keep litter areas clean, and ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and calm during each visit. I make sure your dog gets outside walks and time to sniff around!

Information Joanne Y. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know their typical schedule so we don’t deviate too much! I find that staying on their usual routine makes your absence a little easier to process 🥹 would like to know of any quirks and expectations during the meet and greet!

It really depends on your pets’ needs! Happy to give them attention or lots of space depending on their temperament. Walks, snackies, playtime—I try to treat your pet like my own ❤️ I’ll provide pictures!

Loving Pet Sitter—Anxious Pets OK!

Pet care experience

10 yrs with anxious pups & kittens • Fast replies I grew up with cats and have fostered for a local rescue, so I’m comfortable with cats of all temperaments—including shy or senior kitties. I'm also very familiar with dogs and often walk and care for my neighbors’ pups! Whether it’s playtime, pets, or just keeping them company, I love making sure animals feel safe, loved, and seen. • 30-min visit: potty break, play, meds if needed • Fresh water + food + litter scoop • Pics & text update every visit I only accept bookings for neutered pets, thank you for understanding! Meet and greets mandatory to make sure your pets are comfortable with me ✨

Joanne stayed with our cats, Charlie and Bear, for a week while we were traveling in Europe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. She was wonderful about communicating, asking questions when needed, and making sure both cats received the individual care and attention they needed. She was especially patient and caring while helping our newer cat continue to adjust, and it was clear she truly took the time to understand their personalities and make them feel comfortable. When we came home, our place was in excellent condition and our cats were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely book Joanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Joanne. Just a week before our vacation, one of our cats became sick and needed oral antibiotics, which added a lot of stress to our travel plans. Joanne was absolutely wonderful with both of our cats and administered the medication like a pro. It was clear from the start that she is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and comfortable with cats. Throughout our trip, Joanne was extremely communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Knowing our cats were receiving such attentive, loving care made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and are so grateful for everything Joanne did. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional cat sitter.
