Joan has been petsitting on the South Shore since 2007, and taking care of friends’ pets for even longer. She enjoys caring for pets who prefer in-home care to a kennel or daycare. Joan’s work style is personal, thorough, and conscientious. She seeks to connect with each pet’s character, learn their preferences, and focus on their needs. Pets lift Joan’s spirits. They tell you right away if you’re doing the right thing and reward good performance with a nuzzle or a lick when they see you come through the door. Pets crave routine and respond well to “sameness.” Joan strives to eliminate potential stressors before they manifest. She learns what motivates your pets most and uses that to put them at ease and build trust.

George lives in North Weymouth with his family, after relocating from the Midwest twelve years ago. He enjoys the natural beauty of the area with its parks and walking trails. Having served as a foster parent for friends pets, petsitting was a natural draw. Over the years he has enjoyed the company of five rescue dogs including a Beagle/Basset Hound, Yellow Lab, Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, a beautiful mixed breed as well as five cats, two of which were former strays. Each one has had a unique personality and different needs. George has also had some unusual animals such as a ferret, pet rats, a rabbit, and African Chiclid aquarium fish. George enjoys meeting new animals and finds they often warm up to him quickly. He looks forward to getting to know your pet and spending quality time with them.
