Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats, Oscar and Jasmine. Each day, I feed them both wet and dry food; clean their dishes; provide fresh water; clean their litter boxes frequently; play with them; and love them! I'm very eager to do whatever it takes to meet your pets' needs whether that be coming twice a day while you're on vacation or giving your puppy extra cuddles!

Would absolutely book her again for my upcoming trip!! Joan is fantastic. My cats had a great time with her, I could tell by all the report cards that she gave me (plus bunch of their pics). Very thorough, super sweet and great communicator! I'm extremely glad I found her on a very lastly minute and she agreed to it. Thank you very much Joan! 😊 🙏

Joan is an incredible cat sitter. I’m so glad to found her as she took care of my cat while I was gone and my cat definitely loves her. She’s very thorough with her updates and always make sure to be on top of everything. She is the best.

What a sweet lady! Thanks Joan for taking such great care of my 4 fur babies- thank you for being on time, attentive, loving, patient, consistent with your updates so I am abreast of what goes on, and for being such a great pet whisperer. All my animals love you and I can’t highly recommend you enough. We’ll definitely ask for you the next time we need a pet sitter!

Please let me know if I need to approach the dog slowly or if your dog is super easy-going. It's also helpful to know if they are really reactive around other dogs and other such important details :)
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.
