Hello, My name is Joan, and I am a solo house sitter, and animal lover. I'm a healthy, active, responsible 69 year old. I've had cats and dogs my entire life, since childhood. When my last kitty, Lucy passed I was free to travel. I live in NW Florida and own my home. I want to house sit because I adore traveling, and also love animals.

Never have we ever had a house sitter - and we have had so many wonderful sitters! - who loved our beloved Scruffy as much as we do. Pictures are worth 1000 words and Joan kept us updated at least twice a day with photos and videos that almost (almost!) made us want to cut our vacay short. Never had a moments worry about Scruffy, our house, our plants, and so on. We feel so fortunate to have connected with her!
Everything about this sit went smoothly. Great up front communication and attention to detail, with a huge dash of Care. This was Joan's first formal dog sit, after many cat sits, and she wanted Twix to be well cared for. Twix and I are easy and Joan fell in love. My only worry was, would Twix even want me to come home? Joan is a hiker and walked him 5-10 miles a day!! He fell in love with her as well. Joan uses soft, positive communications with animals and truly brings out their ... MoreEverything about this sit went smoothly.

Twix and I are easy and Joan fell in love. My only worry was, would Twix even want me to come home? Joan is a hiker and walked him 5-10 miles a day!! He fell in love with her as well. Joan uses soft, positive communications with animals and truly brings out their best behaviors. My plants were alive (always a happy plus for me) and the house was immaculate. My neighbors loved her and she made friends here in a short 2 weeks. Highly recommended and both Twix and I hope to see her again.

We feel so lucky to have connected with Joan! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is a true kitty lover through and through. (I think she is even on the 'kitty whisperer' level.). Joan spent 6 days at our home and sent us photo/text updates about our furry friends during that time. Our super shy outdoor boy even came in for her! That has never happened for any sitter ever (and we travel a lot!). On top of that, Joan was very conscious of her arrival time knowing that it ... MoreWe feel so lucky to have connected with Joan!

That has never happened for any sitter ever (and we travel a lot!). On top of that, Joan was very conscious of her arrival time knowing that it can be stressful with last minute trip preparation. She also left our home super tidy for our HomeExchange guest arriving immediately after the sit. She truly went above and beyond. We can't recommend her enough and would love to have her back one day!

Joan was the perfect house and pet sitter! I feel lucky that I found her! My skittish Sophie Cat took to Joan right away. She even got in her lap in an hour after they met. She truly is an animal lover and Sophie picked up on that right away. Joan was able to administer medicines to Sophie with no problem. She communicated with me often and even sent pictures of a very comfortable kitty while I was away. She also kept the home so neat and clean that I couldn't tell that anyone had even ...

I highly recommend her!
