“Joanna is simply amazing. I messed up and booked a day late, and she showed up a day early to check on my dogs as soon as we realized my mistake. I think my apartment was cleaner when I returned from my trip than when I left it for her. My dogs were happy the whole time. Absolutely zero incidents. She checked in with me regularly. I know she would have swiftly taken care of any emergencies that popped up. I will be hiring her to sit again soon! 10/10 recommend.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities! I am the proud owner of Show Sparkles Mobile Pet Grooming, and I am also actively involved in the world of AKC dog showing, breeding, and professional handling. Dogs aren’t just a hobby for me—they’re my passion, my career, and a huge part of my everyday life! Through years of grooming, breeding, raising puppies, and showing dogs professionally, I’ve developed a strong understanding of canine behavior, handling, and individualized care. I’m comfortable working with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I have extensive hands-on experience with puppy development, basic manners, crate training, leash skills, grooming desensitization, socialization, and confidence building. I also understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing a safe, comfortable environment. My professional grooming background is another added benefit! I’m experienced in coat maintenance, brushing, handling sensitive pets, and recognizing changes in a dog’s skin, coat, ears, or overall condition. Whether your pet is a beloved family companion, a young puppy learning the ropes, or a pampered show dog, I provide the same level of patience, dedication, and attention to detail that I give my own dogs. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter—you’re choosing an experienced canine professional who will treat your pet like family! 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I work with animals regularly through grooming, showing, and caring for my own dogs, so feeding, potty breaks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and one-on-one attention are built into my day. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets in my care and make sure they receive plenty of attention rather than simply being checked on between other commitments. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, feeding according to their normal schedule, playtime, exercise, and a clean, comfortable environment. I can accommodate crates and other routines they are accustomed to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, medications when instructed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care requests. I also make sure their space stays clean and secure. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mae walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mae maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mae choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
