Pet care experience

Trusted pet sitting & peace of mind

Hi I’m Jo and I’m new to Rover but rest assure, I have 22 years of experience as a devoted dog owner! I’ve cared for six of my own dogs, ranging from puppies as young as 8 weeks to beloved seniors up to 15 years old. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ pets over the years (ranging from breeds, temperament, and physical abilities). My passion for animals drives me to offer personalized care for dogs and cats of all types, including those with special needs like incontinence, IVDD, high-energy breeds, and senior pups who need extra TLC. I’ve successfully fostered dogs and have extensive experience with obedience training, always setting clear boundaries while respecting each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m dedicated to providing loving, patient, and consistent care that ensures every pet feels safe, valued, and happy. Above all, my kindness and deep love for animals shine through in every interaction, making sure your pet gets the best care possible. ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible when working in pet owners' homes and always follow their guidance to ensure their pet’s routine and comfort are maintained. If space is limited indoors, I make sure to spend extra time outdoors for exercise and environmental stimulation (weather permitting). I also enjoy incorporating mentally stimulating activities, such as refreshing command training or engaging with toys and puzzles, to keep your pet’s mind active and happy. For senior dogs or those with mobility challenges or disabilities, I provide special care, focusing on their comfort and well-being, and offer companionship to ensure they feel loved and secure. My services also include providing meals, cleaning pet areas, and offering hygiene care for senior pets and those with disabilities, ensuring they receive the attention they need to feel their best.

Jo was great, patient, and very knowledgeable. Our dog is scared of people but Jo handled the situation perfectly and was playing with our normally-nervous dog in no time! She was also very professional and kind. So grateful to find someone that we can trust with our pups!

Jo was incredible with our dog Shiloh this weekend. We were able to fully relax on our trip knowing she was in good hands. Jo sent tons of photo and video updates of their time together and even adjusted her own plans when our dog had an upset stomach one night. She also spent some time working with our dog on bark training 😊 Can’t say enough good things!
