Hi there! My name is Joanne (Jo), and I am a passionate dog lover with a special knack for taking care of our four-legged friends. Friends affectionately call me their "dog nanny" because of my dedication and love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a central part of my life.Dog sitting, boarding and walking allow me to combine my passion for dogs with my desire to make a positive impact on their lives and the lives of their owners. I used to be an accountant and now I have decided to take a break from it.
Experience
I have been taking care of dogs privately for many years, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I have two wonderful dogs of my own: a senior Labrador and a sweet, elderly Bichon Frise. My experience with these two has given me a deep understanding of the needs of both energetic young dogs and more senior pups who require a gentler touch.
Dog Walking: Whether your dog needs a quick walk around the block or a longer adventure, I'm here to provide the exercise they need to stay healthy and happy. My favourite dog walking spot is the Auckland Botanical Gardens.
Pet Sitting: If you're away for the day or even a few hours, I can keep your dog company, ensuring they're fed, entertained, and well cared for.
Special Needs Care: With my experience caring for an elderly dog, I'm well-equipped to handle pets with special needs, administering medications and providing the extra attention they may require.
To ensure the safety and health of all the dogs in my care, I require that your dog be fully vaccinated.
Why Choose Me?
Experience: Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
Personal Touch: I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing individualised care and attention.
Reliability: You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and communicative. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.
Love for Dogs: My passion for dogs goes beyond just a job; it's a way of life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and ensuring they're happy and healthy.
I recently rediscovered Pawshake and am excited to bring my services to a wider community. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog with the same love and dedication as you do, I'd love to meet you and your furry friend.
I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!

We can't thank Jo enough for the great job she did looking after Digby for 2 nights. From the time we met her until pick up we were confident that Digby was in safe hands. We really appreciated the progress reports and photos. We would not only recommend Jo, we would certainly use her services again. Kevin and Therese
