Pet care experience

Retired & willing 2 LOVE your pets!

Dogs have been a part of our family for over 40 years. Our Antimony passed in 2022 and I have hole in my heart. We are not ready to get another pet and this will help me get my Doggy fix while helping you with care of your fur family member! UDATE , unfortunately, I am unable to provide dog care services during the winter season. I prefer to offer my services during the spring and summer and fall months. Perhaps we can schedule a meeting for next year?

We couldn't ask for a better sitter for Opie. Jo is responsive, detailed, caring and all around wonderful. Your pet would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Thank you Jo!!

We feel truly blessed to have found JoJo and Mikey to babysit our furbaby Ruthie when we go out of town. They treat her like their own. Ruthie can be nervous in new surroundings, but not in their loving care. She gets spoiled with one on one play time, walks and snuggles. They communicate with us everyday and send pictures and videos. I honestly can't recommend JoJo enough.

Jo was amazing with our 6 month old puppy, Zephyr, while we on vacation! She kept in touch with texts and photos and there was zero doubt that our puppy was having a great time in Jo's home. We wondered if he'd want to come home, lol. Not only did Zephyr have fun, and get lots of love , but we believe he benefited and matured being in her care. No idea how that happened, maybe just being in another loving home for 10 days increased his confidence. Jo is a dog person. She is capable, experienced, and loves dogs. We are very grateful to have met Jo, and found a host for our dog when he cannot travel with us. We heartily recommend Jo !!

We have complete confidence in Jo who cared for our 5 month old puppy. He will return again next month for a longer visit with Auntie Jo 🐾💕

Awesome dog sitter with great communication. She took great care of our baby Diamond with daily updates and pictures. Great home great location with plenty of open space for dogs to roam Explorer and get great sniff and fun chasing squirrels. Would recommend and would definitely book again for any future trips

Truly awesome service, Jo was super flexible with my late request and took amazing care of Missy. She sent photo updates to let me know what they were up to which was great to see. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood everything about Missy to make sure she gave her a great stay. Missy had a ton of fun with Jo and I will 100% use her again!

Schedule

I am happily retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I love walks and playing with dogs. If they sleep over... we will keep each other company! If I'm not doing Rover, I am at CrossFit where I work out and get to visit the pups that attend our classes. After 30+ years of being an office manager for two busy dental offices, I am more of a homebody now, I love my being home with my retired husband (who loves dogs as much as I do). I know how important your pet's routine can be so while you are away, I will try my very best to keep them happy. Please be sure to let me know what they like to do and the best way to communicate with them, with certain words and treats. UPDATE: Unfortunately, I am unable to provide dog care services during the winter season. I prefer to offer my services during the spring and summer and early fall months. Perhaps we can schedule a meeting for next year?

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to walk your dog on rural roads or wooded trails around my home or yours whatever is convenient for you. If they sleep over we have no issues with pets on our couch or our bed! If you pet needs me to feed them once or twice a day, I will be happy to check in on them. I have had plenty of puppy sleep overs, haven't had a kitty one, "yet" !

A typical day

I feel all pets are part of the family. Since my Antimony (she was 14yrs old) passed in 2022. I have missed her cuddles and daily walks. I am looking forward to taking care of your pet as one of my own.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. Allergies, fears, can't walk far or loves long hikes etc. Are they allowed on the furniture? Where do they prefer to sleep? Do they like car rides? I wish I could read their minds so I guess I will just have to depend on YOU to let me know how I can make the most from our visit.
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.
