Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life. I don't believe in crates and cages so don't ask me to do that. Dogs must be part of your family and treated as such.

Jo watched my older dog, Gabby. I have a pretty complex daily routine for her that includes special foods and scheduled medications. Jo got it right away. You could tell that she is a real dog person. My experience was great and I felt super comfortable leaving her in Jo’s hands and having Jo stay in my home. Will definitely be using her in the future.

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.
