Animals will stay leashed any time we are outside unless we are in the dog park and owner says it’s okay to unleash. I also am an active jogger so I can keep up with younger and old dogs. I’m a chill sitter that vibes off the dogs energy.

Information Joann R. would like to know about your pet

My main concern would be health. Are the dogs are allergic to anything, any medicines I would have to give them. Also making sure I understand their feeding schedule and personality

A typical day

I like in between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. There are lots of areas to run and play around. I know dogs need lots of exercise so activites like frisbie and catch would be apart of day to activities. As for cats, we typically follow the same schedule; wake up, cuddle, potty, breakfast, more cuddles, I start remote working and then dinner

Pet care experience

Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise.

Jo is wonderful with my Great Dane. She has watched Athena twice and both times were great. Jo communicates well and truly cares for the animals she watches. I highly recommend her as a Rover sitter.

Jo was a wonderful sitter for my large dog. I was very appreciative of the communication and flexibility.

Joann did a great job with Sophie! She loved the dog park outside of Joann's building and was extremely well taken care of. Sophie can't wait to go back!

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.
