I would like to know anything special that your dog likes. Are they walked on a harness or a collar? Are they friendly with other dogs? Let me know if your dog has any special needs I can account for.

A typical day

I will stimulate your dog physically and mentally throughout our time together. We will walk around your neighborhood and discover new smells in the area. If you don’t mind I will bring them to a local dog park to discover new people and friends.

Reliable, Caring, Loving

Pet care experience

I would love to care for your best friend as I know how much they mean to you. Being a dog owner myself I know the care and love your pet needs. I have taken care of friends and family pets for years. Be assured that they will get plenty of love, care and attention. About this sitter: I have been around and have owned animals my entire life and absolutely love them. Call me crazy but I treat them like they are my kids (and sometimes I like them better than my kids). From a young age I have taken care of friend and family pets. I am dependable and reliable. Your pets are always in good hands with me. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR thru the American Red Cross.

Joanne has been sitting for our two Rotties for a few weeks now. She has been simply the best. Our one girl is a little older and can be very skiddish. She typically won’t leave the room for some people but we’re so happy how she immediately warmed up to Joanne. She goes out right away when Joanne arrives. In addition to Joanne being the sweetest to our girls, she’s very responsive and unbelievably accommodating, helping us out with some last minute needs. She’s a 5/5!

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.
