About Joanna

*** I am currently expecting my third child in March 2024, so will be taking on limited bookings for the time being and will be away for a period after March. ***


I am based in Palmerston and am currently servicing the Gungahlin area.

I have a wide range of animal care experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, fish, birds, amphibians and farm animals.

I have kept lots of pets in my life as well as pet sitting and home visits for friends and family and now via Pawshake.
I am unfortunately unable to keep any pets in the unit I am renting so PawShake not only gives me a little bit of extra cash but also let's me give out some love and pats to animals. 

For the safety of your dog I only accept large sized or smaller dogs (generally under 40kg) for walks so I can have full control. I only walk dogs from one client at a time and usually only one at a time.

My rates for walks and home visits are for 30 minutes sessions but I am happy to take another booking on the same day if you would like more time for your special one.

Transport service available - perfect for getting your critter to a groomer, vet, physio, daycare centres, between houses or emergency transport. Price on request (usually a one way trip is the same cost as a home visit).

Terrarium and tank cleaning available - price can be discussed after a meet & greet as the time and effort for these jobs varies greatly.

I will provide photos from my walk or visit as well as a map of where we walked (if applicable) and a detailed description of my time with your pet so you know exactly how great of a time your precious little one(s) had.

During a home visit I will give your special friend lots of affection and play. I will also clean and refill water (and feed bowls, if requested), do cat litter and any other reasonable request.

I am able to do home care tasks in my time slot on request like collecting mail, opening or closing curtains, watering indoor or outdoor plants, moving the wheelie bin in/out or any other reasonable request.


I do not waste your pet's precious time doing the report for you during the booking time, so my pet updates may be a few hours after my visit. I do endeavour to get them done as soon as possible after a visit but they take some time to do properly and sometimes life, kids and other bookings will delay getting the report completed in a timely fashion. If requested, I'm happy to send a "Proof of life" picture as I'm leaving if you want assurance straight away that I visited.
All photos in my gallery (without me in them) are taken by me of animals that I have cared for.

I usually try to work my PawShake jobs without the kids but they do sometimes come along, especially for longer bookings or if you need me to come at a specific time when I can't make arrangements for their care. Please let me know if this is an issue.

I would love to come meet you and your pet for free in your home at a time convenient for you before you pay for a booking.

Please contact me today and we can discuss your needs. :)

Jo took such great care of our Charley girl - recognizing her needs as an old dog! Highly recommend!

Joanna is the best pet sitter that you could ask for. She has cared for our animals several times now and they have been so well looked after. Joanna’s communication is amazing, twice a day she messages with how each of the animals are going and shares photos of them all. Joanna spends time with them all playing and breaking up the day whilst we are gone. She even goes the extra mile and does things like emptying the bin or bringing in washing that we haven’t even asked her to do. Whenever Joanna looks after our pets we always come home to a clean house without any stale smells or mess. As always, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is amazing!
