About: I have owned & loved dogs most of my life. I recently retired and lost my 3 labs, aged 16,17 & 18 all in the same year. I love being around and taking care of dogs. Currently I’m taking care of my grandson mon-fri during the day but have evenings & weekends available to care for your pet. Flexible schedule available. I can feed, walk, play & clean up after your pet in your home. You won’t be disappointed in my care & service.flexible schedule available.

About: I had a huge passion in caring for dogs since I was in middle school. I would always stop at my nearest animal shelter to visit all the animals and pet them. I had a goal to be able to become a volunteer at the shelter and I was told I had to be at least 16 so once I hit 16 I went back to the shelter and was finally able to apply. I’ve been trained to handle and care for all sorts of dogs in sizes and breeds. I would walk them, feed them, spent time with them and had high level training with the volunteer supervisor. I volunteered for a couple years and then I went off to college and could no longer help. But seeing my time there I tried to make a difference in their life and show the animals as much love as I possible could. During the week I’m able to do early morning walks or evening walks depending on the locations of my clients. During the weekend anytime works as long as it’s scheduled ahead of time. I follow all client rules. This would lead to also using these care instructions in my home and ensuring there is nothing that will harm them.

“Joanne was fantastic and cared so lovingly for my Shepherd. She was prompt and thorough, following all of my requests, and additionally sent pics of my dog during her visit. When we did our meet and greet, I could clearly see she has a great temperament for caring for animals and my dog loved her. I could not have been happier and will definitely ask her again to care for my dog.”

About: Hello! We are a family in Homecoming of Rio Vista,Ca with over 12 years of Dog/Cat sitting experience. We have 2 dogs of our own who are great companions and social with all dogs. We have a Sheperd Poodle Mix named Hershel, and a yorkie named Bruno who are super dog friendly and love to play. We also have aquariums with Tropical Freshwater fish. Safe to say we LOVE animals and would make your dog feel at home and loved while you are away. I worked Hotels for many years so I am accustomed to delivering great hospitality and will implement that in my dog sitting! I bake special fresh doggie treats and we live right by a paved "trail" with easy access for the dogs. We also have a large backyard for the dogs to play in as well. Your dog will also never go unsupervised. I ensure your dog will enjoy their stay with us and have a fun filled time. We accept all sizes, breeds and special needs! Feel free to contact with any questions and I will get back to you within the hour. Why I love dog sitting My husband and I have both had a passion for animals in general from a young age and have kept many pets such as hamsters, reptiles, etc. Dogs are really our main passion. We love being outdoors with them and learning about all the different breeds. The love we get back from the dogs we sit and the trust our clients have in us is absolutely rewarding. Meet my pets Bruno - Yorkie Hershel - Poodle Mix About my yard We have a very large backyard that is fenced in for the dogs to play in!We usually take our dogs outside to play fetch and run around every day for several hours. My experience administering medication Yes, we are, we have done this several times. We have always had animals in our lives. We have a passion for taking care of them as family and the best part of our day is spending time with them. We never cage our visitors to avoid stress. They are allowed to snoop and be anywhere we are. Our dogs are friendly and bring shy dogs out of their shells. We feed separately due to safety although our dogs are not food aggressive, some are. We have no toxins that dogs can get into, and they will never go unsupervised.
