Pet care experience

Force free, fear free trained

I have vast experience with all breeds and temperaments. Have cared for 90+ dogs a day previously in daycare, and will love your family member like my own. My baby Lyra passed away mid March, so I have appreciated my clients even more recently. It really helps my heart. It feels less lonely when her friends are here.

Joanne communicated well with texts and pictures everyday and we felt good about the experience as we have never used Rover for ourselves. We recommend her!

It was the first time we left our dog with someone outside of our family so I was a little nervous how it would go. He spent a week with Joanne and I think he had a great time. He seemed happy and healthy when we picked him up. I didn’t have to worry about him at all!

Mia absolutely loved staying with Joanne. She came home happy and exhausted. Joanne was super responsive when we reached out and provided updates and photos for us during our trip.

Joanne can host up to 1 pet per night
I have a chain link fence so some dogs get triggered by being able to see the foot traffic. I usually gently work with them in controlling their barking when animals or people are walking by.
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.
