  • Joann stayed with our 4-month-old puppy while we were out of town and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she manage the ups and downs of potty training, but she kept our home spotless—even after several accidents! She gently cleaned our rugs and took extra care with our furniture so nothing was damaged. We came home to a fresh, calm home and a puppy who clearly felt safe, loved, and cared for. Her attention to detail and warm energy are unmatched. We won’t trust anyone else with our pup!

  • Joann walked our lab mix every weekday and I was blown away by her care and thoughtfulness. She made sure his paws stayed dry and clean during rainy weather, and even made sure to put on his booties to protect him from icy sidewalks and hot pavement. On extra cold days, she bundled him up and gave him a warm towel rub afterward. On hot ones, she brought water and stayed in the shade. He absolutely adored her, and so did we. She treats animals like family.

  • I was nervous leaving my three cats for the week, especially our senior cat who’s blind and very sensitive to change. Joann was incredible—she played healing music and gave gentle sound baths daily, and I swear our old girl was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen her. The house was peaceful when I returned, and the cats clearly felt seen and safe in her presence. She even sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Her care is truly soulful.

    -Jen S, Leawood, KS

  • I hired Joann for drop-in visits while I was away for the weekend, and I can’t say enough good things. My two cats can be pretty shy, but they immediately warmed up to her energy. She not only fed them and scooped the litter, but also took time to play, brush them, and send me the sweetest updates. She even tidied up around their feeding area and left a calming herbal scent in the room. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a house that felt cared for. She’s an absolute gem.

    - Tony S, Leawood, KS

  • When our senior dog began declining, we didn’t know how to help him—or ourselves. Joann came to our home for an end-of-life support session, and I truly believe her presence changed everything. She created a peaceful space with soft music, aromatherapy, and gentle touch that soothed Hugo’s anxiety. She sat with us, listened without rushing, and held space as we cried. Her compassion, grace, and reverence for this process helped us feel less alone. Hugo passed with calm, dignity, and love. We are forever grateful.
