Dog and cat owner/enthusiast

Pet care experience

My family has owned dogs my whole life and I have pet sat for my friends, neighbors, teachers and professors for years. I became a cat owner a few years ago, and I exhaustively researched how to keep cats safe, healthy, and happy in preparation for the arrival of my little one. I am very familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens, as well as older animals as I have owned and cared for all ages. I absolutely adore all animals and I will take care of your pets as though they were my own. I am passionate about animal welfare and hope to open an animal sanctuary some day.

I came home from vacation to a relaxed, happy cat. Jo was communicative throughout my whole trip. I had a lot of trust my cat was doing well :)

Jo is a dedicated and conscientious dog sitter. She did great with lout large breed puppy and really helped me to feel at ease while I was away. Excellent communication and respectful of the space. I highly recommend her services and would love to do business with her again.

I cannot bring animals into my apartment, but I am happy to come take care of your animals at your house! I can feed, walk and let out your dog as many times as they need, just let me know their routine. For cats, I am happy to accommodate any feeding or litter box changing schedule and provide play enrichment if desired.

Information Jo R. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences. If your dog has a history of aggressive behavior please let me know, in addition to any special grooming or dietary needs.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for walks and play fetch! My own dogs are pretty high energy and I am used to keeping up with them.

I am currently a student at Berkeley, and I am in class throughout the day Mon-Thurs, so I’m not able to care for pets that cannot be left alone for the length of a normal workday on those days, but I am available to stay overnight on week days/stay at homes outside of working hours.
