Jo-Anne took excellent care of our guinea pig, dependably coming over daily during our long time away. She was kind and caring to our piggie, even going above and beyond to bring over extra homemade toys and looking up ways to enrich our piggie’s day. It was such a comfort to know that Jo-Anne was there every day, and we really appreciate her diligent care of our little one. Thank you so much, Jo-Anne!

We’re grateful Jo-Anne was able to watch Ramona at the last minute. She was punctual and very kind.

Awesome pet and house sitter. We can completely relax and feel confident that Jo-Anne will handle anything that comes up, and she really stays around the house and keeps the dog and cats company when we are away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
