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.

Jo-Anne is 100% reliable, accommodating, warm and absolutely wonderful with my dog. I am so glad that I connected with her on Rover.

Jo-Anne did a wonderful job of taking care of my dog and my home for a week. She is very thorough and also caring. I came home to a happy dog and clean and organized home. I highly recommend Jo-Anne.

JoAnne was absolutely fabulous. Our cat developed a cheek abscess a couple of days into our trip, and she had to get him into the cat carrier and take him to the ER to have it drained, then give him twice daily medication. She also thought of things like finding an alternate water bowl and littler box for improved access while he was wearing the kitty collar. She handled everything so smoothly that we had complete confidence that she had things under control and didn't have to spend the trip worrying.

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.
