Pet care experience

I give good walks or play outside

*COVID VACCINATED **Looking for a new “regular” to see M-F I've had dogs my whole life. Every time I lost one either by death or adoption the house didn't stay silent for long. I'm a great handler with patience and love for these animals. I have done pet-sitting first for family but as word spread I started to work with new families as well. I know how to give oral medication easily. I lead an active lifestyle outside of work and school so exercising your pet(s) is no problem for me. I've pet-sat for many years and am extremely comfortable around any size or breed of dog. I know how to let the dog warm up to me & not approach too much too soon. I’m respectful of your dogs & their natural home space.

Safety, trust & environment

Usually a 30-60 min walk and/or playtime in a backyard if there is one. In poor weather conditions we’ll stay inside unless it’s okay with the owner that we walk.

Joan was fantastic! Loved our pups and our pups loved her. Very communicative, clean, respectful, and takes her job seriously. She's a top notch sitter, our house and dogs were in great hands while we were away!

Joan was extremely communicative, provided regular updates, and went through rigorous security procedures to make sure her stay went smoothly. She left my home spotless, and Luna was extremely rested on my return. I love Joan and will use her for all my services going forward.

Joan watched our boy Buster for 11 days while we traveled to Albania for Christmas. She did a wonderful job caring for our dog, left messages and pictures every day, and gave him lots of love. I think he's now going through Joan-withdrawl! We would definitely recommend Joan!

Joan was so amazing with my little Burt! She even got him to eat his dinner (which is near impossible most of the time!) she sent lots of videos and pictures, making me less stressed about leaving him at home while I was at work. I would definitely use her again!

Schedule

Pet care is part of my daily routine. Most of my visits are done in the afternoon or early evening. However, the earliest I see dogs currently is 8am and the latest 8pm. Depends on the owners needs, but I’m pretty flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Joan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
No breed preference and medication given is okay. My dog is allergic to anything the wind blows so I've experienced dogs with special needs or health concerns. I also am familiar with potty training and using puppy pads for accidents around the house.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
