Pet care experience

AMAZING Pet Sitter

Rover sitter since 2018. Seeking new dogs to walk and care for. Cats, birds, and other pets too. I am a mature, reliable and experienced woman. Tons of experience. Non Smoker. No Dependents. I have cared for many different breeds and temperaments. I have cared for dogs and cats too. I can provide excellent references. I am patient, kind and loving. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your pets before accepting an assignment. This will give me the chance to become acquainted with you and your pets and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I enjoy taking dogs to dog parks (with your permission) and on day trips (with your permission). Walks around neighborhood too. I have plenty of free time to spend with your pups. I do drop in visits and day care in your home. Walks and dog washing too. There is an extra charge for Constant Care (24 hour care with a 1 - 2 hour break for errands). All security cameras and audio recording devices must be disclosed when contacting me as CONSENT is required. All cameras inside the home and smart home devices must be deactivated. My privacy is as important to me as your security is to you. Outside cameras are ok. ALL instructions must be written and left for me in your home. Please include ALL of your pets and their behaviors. Only well behaved and non-aggressive pets. No history of biting, scratching or constant barking. No escape artists.

There were a few miscommunications. Perhaps I should have left written instructions.

Jo Ann did a great job. She arrived on time, my house was clean, but most importantly, Rosie was a happy doggie! Good job, Jo Ann Grace Keenan, Rosie’s mommy

Jo did a great job for the 5 days she stayed at our house and took care of a dog, a cat, and our outdoor plants.

Jo house/dog sat for 4 days/3 nights for our two border collie Xs. The "scope of work" was to be with the dogs as close to all the time as possible and they get two walks a day and please send photos when they're on walks. On the plus side, and it's a really big plus, is that the dogs and the house were in good shape when I got home. And that's big because one of my dogs can be pretty destructive nervous wreck when her separation anxiety gets the better of her. On the minus side...I got one photo of the dogs; they were in the kitchen. And they got two walks, total. But, as I say, they and the house were okay when I got home. That's the most important thing.

Jo Ann was great with Summer. Summer warmed up to her immediately and had a blast at her place.
