Safety, trust & environment

I ask for your schedule. I try to minimize the change. Safety first is my motto. I normally do not drive them anywhere but will walk to nearby parks

Information Jo K. would like to know about your pet

I want to know how their daily schedule. Do they eat before we go out? I also like to know if there is a street to avoid or if they have friends in the area.

A typical day

I always greet the pets as I enter. I talk to them as I leash them. Then we are out the door for potty and a great experience. If the weather is bad, rest assured they will not suffer. I get the potty out of the way and then we return. Towel off and it’s play time

Personal care for your babies

Pet care experience

Red Rover, Red Rover, have Josie come over! I provide short and long dog walks as well as drop in visits and pet sitting. I have experienced dogs who are chill and high energy dogs. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your fur baby all the love and attention they desire. I talk to them as we walk, and wipe paws (if needed) when we are done. Treats are given if provided. I will reinforce good puppy manners. All special instructions are followed. I have reliable transportation and love helping others take care of their animals. As such, I am also a volunteer dog walker at the Parma Animal Shelter. I can feed and administer medicine as directed. When walking your dog I seek out quiet streets and love when your dog shows me their preferred path. I am retired so I have plenty of time and energy to devote to the dogs in my care. I work my errands around the pups in my care I treat your pets as if they were the VIP of my day. If they make it known they need a belly rub they will get it. No questions asked. Ears need scratching? No problem. They are my focus

Jo does a wonderful job! She is extremely conscientious and her notes are not only complete but also entertaining. We feel completely comfortable having her care for our dog.

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.
