About Joanne H.

Dog skills

3 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I put their needs first. First, I take care of what they need like eating, drinking, and potting. Then we would go further with what they desire like walking, grooming, and playing. If your dog is fifty-five pounds or more, strong, and puts lots of tension on a leash, I have difficulty controlling your dog’s movement and I may not be the best fit as a dog sitter.

Information Joanne H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time that if your dog has any dietary restrictions, medication that must be administer, or social preferences or peculiarities.

A typical day

I often take them on walks around our neighborhood, stopping at a rose garden, or walking around a river. I live minutes away from a friendly dog park which gives dogs a great opportunity to socialize with other dogs. I also frequently walk dogs around a large, nearby college campus that has large open fields where dogs can stretch their legs.

Joanne took such wonderful care of our dog, Remi! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she loves dogs. She was incredibly sweet and patient with Remi. Joanne played fetch with her for hours and sent us pictures and videos every day, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated promptly and was very reliable throughout the booking. Remi came home happy, tired, and well-loved. We felt completely confident leaving Remi in her care and would book with Joanne again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a caring and attentive sitter.

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.
