We were grateful to have Joan looking after our 5 cats when we were away. The cats are afraid of most people, but not Joan--they would come out to greet her when they heard her voice! She would come once a day to feed, change water and litter and give treats and play for a while. They always seemed so content when we returned home. Joan has such a love for animals - we always knew our cats were getting emotional and physical sweetness. We will miss her! - Barb and Dan S. Ohio

I was Joan's pet sitter for three years. Joan is one of the BEST pet owners when it comes to real compassion and caring for animals. Her common sense and intuition pertaining to the care of animals is a rare trait. I would highly recommend her!

Joan is a true professional and a very compassionate pet sitter.  I returned to 2 happy dogs and 1 cat from a week vacation. I had a daily report left for me that detailed each visit. I would recommend her care to anyone. - Dan, Hurst, TX

We returned home to a cheerful dog who was well cared for during our weekend away. Joan played with Trouser (perhaps more than we did!) and did great with Trouser's particular eating rituals. Joan even went above and beyond and brushed Trouser and watered a thirsty plant. We'd turn to Joan again for our dogsitting needs in an instant. Two-thumbs up! -Jennifer, Fort Worth

Dear Joan:

Thank you so much for taking care of all 18 of my Newfoundland dogs while I was in Seattle for a much-needed long weekend vacation! I know it was a challenge to you, especially with the 8 four-week old pups in addition to caring for 'The Big Dogs!' I also appreciated the fact that I was able to get in touch with you at any time, and that you didn't hesitate to contact me with any questions you had.

 Thanks again for pet sitting, and staying at my home while I was away. I wouldn't have trusted anyone but you! I think Doc Holliday misses your company, by the way! Every time I go into my kennel, he looks past me to see if you're tagging along behind me! LOL! They loved you! So, when can you come again?

Sincerely,
Lisa Martens
