Safety, trust & environment

I care for every dog as if it’s my own and a pets safety is number one in my book. I love dogs and it shows in how I care for your dog down to the details. I try to mimic all the owners habits so the dog is happy, stress free and having fun.

Information Joan & Marissa G. would like to know about your pet

We look for dogs that are calm, sweet, low energy, with no food, dog or toy aggression under 30 lbs. Spayed or neutered, on flea/tick prevention. Up to date on vaccinations. No marking on furniture, little to no separation anxiety

A typical day

We live next door to a Nature Park so we can go on long walks, hike around the lake, play frisbee, etc. Lots of sniffing allowed.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs for 25+ years so my experience and comfort level are high. I’ve watched puppies to senior dogs and create a loving environment for the short time they are with me.

Maggie had a great experience. This sitter was very thoughtful with her questions, wanting to keep Maggie's routine, which worked great when we got her home. Would recommend for a small dog.

Joan was fantastic with our dog, Coco! We had a meet and greet at a neutral location prior to the boarding. It is obvious that Joan is committed to making sure the dogs acclimate to each other. I received many updates with pictures during the weekend. I highly recommend Joan for your pet's care!

Joan and her daughter are so lovely. Very knowledgeable about how to care for dogs and fulfill their needs. Charlie had a great time with them and returned happy and tired! The best way to pick up our pup

Our family used Joan to take care of our dog, Willow, while we were away for 2 weeks. She did an amazing job. Joan kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures of Willow during her stay with Joan. Joan took care to keep Willow on her usual schedule and routine providing her with daily walks and play time. We found Willow very happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely be using Joan to keep Willow in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
