About Joanna
Experience: 1 yr
COVID-19 vaccinated
caring, compassionate, creative Animals live in the present moment & remind us constantly of what's truly important: trust, play, love, sleep, connection, patience, regular meals in moderation! I'm looking for a job that allows me to meet new people & pets. I have a lot of experience with animals & recently lost my high strung Australian shepherd. I know what it's like to need a someone dependable for an anxious pet & would love to be that person for your family. Ideally, would love to host here at my home - large with dog door and fenced lot. I like to hike, run, read, paint, garden. I'm a decent cook & admit to binging a few movies. I'm also a Palliative care nurse practitioner. It's an amazing profession but leaves me wanting balance & craving outdoor time with nature & animals. My skills: I am very patient, calm. I like to leave a pet cleaner than when I found it! I am good at matching the energy of the creature I'm with. I'm also a very good communicator.

Not sure I know anyone who loves animals more. I've had her care for my cats a few times -- it's always a relief to know they're in good hands!
