“Kelly was amazing with our kitten! She provided us with great updates and fun photos. We are first time Rover clients and look forward to leaving Mia in Kelly’s capable hands again.”
2. Mike W.
“Special thanks for Mike taking such great care of my 3 pups! I so appreciate getting their daily report card as well as pictures♡ Mike also went above and beyond for us. He reached out to let me know we have some raccoons that found the food we left for the 2 cats on our property. They not only found the food but made quite a mess spilling it all over the deck. Thank you Mike for cleaning up their mess so we didn't have to tackle that when we got home.”

About: I currently have two dogs of my own that i care for, attending to their everyday needs and ensuring their health and wellbeing. my pets are currently living with my parents, so they are cared for while i watch your pets! I I have experience caring for puppies; my parents’ dog had two litters. I’ve always had a passion for animals. Growing up we always had a variety of animals, dogs, cats, turtles, assorted fishes, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, horses, etc. i volunteered at a local zoo for 4 years as a teen where i learned how to care for all kinds of animals; assorted reptiles (tortoises, turtles, lizards, and snakes of all sizes), and other animals like hedgehogs, ferrets, opposums, owls, ducks, etc) by keeping up with their daily needs like cleaning enclosures, preparing diets, providing enrichment, etc. i have a very flexible schedule with open availability. i’m able to care for your pets at virtually any time you may need me to! Since I live with two dogs currently, I’m not comfortable caring for pets they are unfamiliar with in my home. I prefer to care for your pets in an environment they’re familiar and comfortable in, your home. I will ensure your pets receive all of the attention, care, and affection they need, while keeping them safe and following any special instructions you may have for me! :)

“Bella and I think Joan is fabulous! She has arrived a few minutes early both times she has been here so there is no worrying about being late. Bella is very relaxed around her and was contently napping on the couch when I got back home. I definitely would recommend Joan for your pup sitting needs. 😊”

“Kristan has been a lifesaver for us bringing home a new puppy 3 weeks before Christmas!!

She was reliable and great with our puppy and our other dog. I highly recommend her!!”
