Information Joanne H. would like to know about your pet

I want all of our guest dogs to be comfortable and have an enjoyable "doggy vacay" while they are visiting so I ask that all dogs be: -Fully house-broken -Not an obsessive barker (to maintain a calm environment for all dogs) -Be comfortable around other people and dogs -Dogs need to be current with a flea and tick preventative and dewormer -All dogs must be current with shots

A typical day

Depending on weather - the kids and I walk the dogs during their stay at least once a day. We also take on walks to parks and play fetch.

Pet care experience

I am an avid dog lover and dog owner since I was five. I got into this business after the frustration of trying to find someone the past couple of years to watch my dogs when I went out of town. I am a high school teacher and have my summers and holidays off which can ease the minds of dog owners when wanting to travel. I will give your dog the love and attention I give my own dogs who are part of our family. I have a fenced yard and can watch any breed of dog as long as they enjoy other dogs. During your dogs stay they will be treated as one of the family. I keep all your house rules so not to be returned with bad habits. I keep them well exercised by either playing in the yard or going on walks. I am a school teacher and my husband is self-employed. We work together to accommodate guest dogs so that they are never home unsupervised more than 4 hours. In addition to Rover, I also accept private clients so my calendar fills up quickly. I try to keep Rover calendar up-to-date however it may not be 100% accurate. I have a fully fenced yard and do not leave the dogs unsupervised. Your dogs become part of our family and will be treated with love and taken care of to the best of our ability.

Joanne took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away! I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such great hands. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

As usual, Joanne did a wonderful job taking care of my FiFi. She sent me photos every morning with a note about how FiFi was doing. I always feel FiFi is safe and well taken care of at Joanne's.

Joanne was wonderful and communicative. The positive reviews she has are definitely true and I plan to send my pup to her again in the future.

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.
