Pet care experience

Personal care for your babies

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

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

Our special and diabetic boy always has a great time and we get lots of updates which helps with our anxiety about leaving him!

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Jo can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
