Pet care experience

Retired Mgr w/ 35 yrs experience

I have 20+ yrs dog sitting & walking experience & 35+ yrs w/ cats. I'm highly skilled in giving medicine to pets having nursed a newborn squirrel back to health & releasing him to the wild! >> I’m a retired, college-educated, professional Ofc Mgr that's always wanted to work with animals. >> What this means for you is, you can be at ease knowing both your PETS & your PROPERTY will be well taken care of while you are away. >> Your time away from home will literally be "STRESS-FREE" as there will be no worries about whether your pets get the TLC they deserve & need as well as your property. In a nutshell: I've yet to meet a furry friend that dislikes me - animals are so much better than people! My only weakness is I tend to overly pamper your furry friends than maybe I should - the sad eyes get me every time! I love to play with your dogs & they know it! Most will already have their ball or stick ready for me! Rover is a great way for me to love your kitty or puppy & pet cuddling is also my specialty.

Joanne did an amazing job taking care of our pets for 8 days! She sent a lot of pictures and updates which really put me at ease. My pets seemed happy and well cared for when we came home. 😀

How friendly is your furry friend? Any suggestions or special needs I should be aware of? Veterinarian information is a must for me. What treats can they have?
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.
