Jo-Ann, age 2, following her passions...I believe this is where it all started... |
Personal Info
Name: Jo-Ann Friedman
Age Group: 26-30
Pet Sitter Since: August 2003
Jo-Ann Friedman, is the owner and operator of Gotta Love'Em! Professional Pet Care. Jo-Ann is a former veterinary assistant/technician, certified dog obedience instructor, as well as certified pet nutrition specialist, but more importantly, her love for animals was the driving force in developing her pet care business. Since very young childhood (see photo), pets and animals have been her passion - from bringing home strays, to owning dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, birds, (and more!) to working in veterinary hospitals, volunteerism at local humane societies, and teaching dog obedience classes, the pets have Jo-Ann wrapped around their little paws!
One of Jo-Ann's favorite quotes is: "The perfect job is doing something that you love to do and getting someone to pay you for doing it!" This is so true when it comes to pet sitting for her!
Jo-Ann lives in Murrieta, CA with her wonderful pet-loving (and fellow pet sitter!) husband Scott and three children -their two sons Christan(9), Xander(2), and daughter Xya (1). They are the happy fur parents to two dogs - Guido & Chupa, three cats- Cyrus, Cassius, and Cletus, and fishies.
Personal Pet Care Philosophy: Our pets are truly important members of our families and their comfort and happiness is just as important as the care we extend to our human families. Our pets depend on us for food, water, play, medical care, companionship, love, and attention, and as a pet care provider, extending this devotion and love to our own pets and the pets of others is extremely fulfilling and rewarding. Just as your pets depend on you, they also depend on us, as pet care providers, to serve them well during your absence. This is why your pet's comfort and happiness is top priority with Gotta Love'Em!. Myself, and all Gotta Love'Em! sitters are true animal lovers, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
