My experience

9 years

I am very comfortable handling most all kinds of animals (snakes might be an exception) I would love to do a 'sit" in Southern Spain for longer than a week or so but would need significant advance notice in order to make travel arrangements

Joan looked after Lorraine’s pets & home

I met Joan approximately 7 years ago, while volunteering at the Atlanta Humane society. We both were dog walkers, helped with adoptions and basically did whatever we could do to help keep the dogs happy, healthy and safe, as if they were our own. Joan also volunteered in the clinic at the shelter and assisted the vet with the Spay/Neuter program. Joan is very passionate about helping and caring for all dogs. We became friends at the shelter and are still very good friends. Joan likes to foster dogs, and she will almost always bring the foster dog to my house for playtime with my dogs in my fenced yard. Joan has also stayed with my 5 dogs at my house when I was away. My dogs adore her. Joan is one of the most reliable, trustworthy and caring people I have ever known and I trust her implicitly with my dogs and 2 cats, as well as my home. She is a great friend and the best caregiver.
