In addition to providing basic needs, such as feeding, refreshing water, and administering medication, during a typical day I will take dogs for long walks with plenty of time to sniff and explore, throw balls/toys for exercise, provide brushing/basic grooming, and time cuddling. Cats will have plenty of play and cuddle time, as well as a clean litter box.

Joanne provided great care for our cats for a two-week vacation. She kept everything in good shape with food, water, litter boxes, and medicine, and spent time with the cats when they weren’t being shy. Thanks so much!

Joanne was Fabulous! Very good with communication and photo updates. Couldn't have gotten through my day without her help. Would absolutely have her again to help with Leroy. 10/10, Highly Recommend for your furry friend!

Joanne was great!! She did an excellent job keeping us posted with updates and photos throughout her stay. She was patient with our skittish and at first yappy smaller dog and seemed unfazed by our active young cattle dog mix. She also went above and beyond by helping put our chickens to bed each night and coming back for a final check before our flight got in. We will definitely ask Joanne to sit for us again!

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.
