Joan has been petsitting on the South Shore for thirteen years, 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.
