Cuddles and Conversation

I worked for a veterinary service in Omaha in addition to working at the early pet supply stores in Omaha before the Big Box stores came in. LOTS of interaction with dogs and their humans. Adopted a rescue pug, Louise, in 2011, fell head over heels. Louise passed in June 2020 and I adopted Frances in September of that year. Three cats, DeeJay, Shadow and Nikolai round out our family. My husband is retired and I am semi-retired. I have a flexible schedule. I am an early riser and I get my dog out regularly. I also walk her daily and she "gardens" with me in the back yard. I have a six-foot fenced in back yard that is sizable to run in or play catch. My dog would love to have another dog to follow around and pee after! Lots of exploration.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard with lots to sniff. I accompany your dog outside to ensure safety. Provide plenty of attention. My little dog is good company.

Joan was fantastic- my boys had a great time with the sweetest lady around. She made sure they had the best care and I’d recommend her to anybody

Beyond thankful to have Joan be able to help out on a short notice. Having an epi kitty isn’t always easy, so glad to have Joan’s help, she is really the best.

Schedule

I am currently retired. Occasionally work temporary part time positions. I am fully committed to your pet when he,/she stays for day care. I accompany your dog while outside.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Joan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I am able to maintain a dog's feeding schedule and treats as directed. I have not had to provide insulin shots but am confident that I could learn. How does your dog do around other dogs? Are they squirrel chasers? Walk on a lead well? I am able to administer eye drops.
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.
