I love to work Rover as much as I can. I am an active and energetic person and want to experience animal driven professions and I have always wanted to walk dogs or cats and take care of them. I am a wonderful cat Mom and dog mom.

I would fully adhere to each of my client’s needs, respectfully, following their rules and guidelines. I won’t be able to host any animals in my home but I can certainly care for your pet in your home, anytime. I can even spend the night.

Information Joanna L. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know if there are certain behaviors that your dog or cat dislike or certain noises that they don’t like so I can make sure to not make them or let me know all I need to know about what they love as well.

A typical day

I love to take my client's dogs to the nearest park or doggy park. It’s clean and safe and well protected from vehicles. I also enjoy walking my clients dogs around town.

Pet care experience

From childhood to adulthood, I have taken care of animals, small/large dogs, cats, bottle fed kittens. I began house sitting for a friend of mine whom I met through work, and established a trust with her and her cocker spaniel, Laylah. I spent a lot of time with Laylah as her owner would walk by every day when I was working downtown. I was asked to take care of Laylah for the weekend and we had so much fun! I have two furry children, two cats, one for twelve years, and one for 9 years, both are rescue animals. I have taken care of them and even take one of them out for walks in my see through back pack. Bella really enjoys going on walks with me. My family and I have been surrounded by animals, and I have always been an advocate to save animals and care for them as best as I can.

Joanna is absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ava. Ava can be quite nervous around new people, but Joanna was incredibly patient, calm, and gentle with her from the very beginning. She took the time to understand Ava’s needs and made her feel safe and comfortable. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such caring and capable hands. We always come home to a happy, relaxed dog—which says everything! Highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly compassionate sitter.

Joanna stayed with our 2 cats and 2 dogs while my husband and I flew home for the holidays. She was very thorough by scheduling a meet and greet with our pets to learn their routines. She also made sure to send us photos/videos to let us know how things were going. It’s tough to leave pets behind while traveling, but Joanna treated our fur babies like one of her own. We’re grateful for having her as our Rover and couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience.

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.
