“Joann was so great! She shows up on time, is a great communicator, and my kitties warmed up to her immediately.

About: I have grown up with many animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. Taking care of these pets has led to my passion and love of all animals. As a student who now lives in an apartment, I want to be able to share my love for animals while helping others out, exercising, clearing my mind from my studies, and loving on pets. I am in occupational therapy school throughout the week. So I have a lot of free time when I am not in class, and my schedule may vary. I love exercising and want to be able to give your pet more exercise as well. I have a lot of experience walking and running throughout Kansas City and am well aware of the environment and safety. I want to be able to incorporate this while helping you care for your animal.
“Did a great job! Delaney made sure to find my elderly cat when he would come over, as she isn’t as social as my younger cat. He did a good job of coming over and feeding them both and cleaning up after them. Even played with them! Overall a success!”
