Happy Dog...

Professional who works from home most days of the month. Started Rover sitting after losing my 14 year old rescue. I was dogless for 5 years, although it was rare not to have an amazing Rover dog (or 2, or 3) from the same family at my house. Now, I am lucky to have Murphy, my significant other's Golden Retriever. I will continue sitting one family's dogs, but they will have to get along with Murphy. I recall how hard it was to find a reliable sitter , especially as my dog Buster aged. Your dog will be treated like family. I have a large yard for your dog to run and play. We can go on evening walks around the lake. I prefer to know what the dog's typical day is like with the owner and emulate it.

Joann was amazing with our girl Callie! She gave frequent updates and her dog Murphy was a perfect furry friend. She was so sweet with our girl, and I felt that I could fully trust our fur baby in her care. I would highly recommend Joann and would definitely rebook! 🐶❤️

I was so nervous to leave my dog. I had never left her with anyone and she is dog-aggressive. Joann did amazing with her and sent so many updates that I felt assured that my dog was in a good place. I was able to enjoy my trip out of town stress-free. Thank you Joann!!!

Joann is absolutely amazing! I felt confident when we met with her that our pups would be in excellent care during our vacation. Every day of our trip she provided updates including pictures and she’s quick with responses. I am a crazy dog mom and hardly trust anyone with my dogs so leaving them in Joann’s care was a huge deal for me. I’m so relieved that I have found someone I can trust to take care of my furbabies. I will absolutely book with her again! ❤️
