Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover 🥰
Hi! I’m Jo, and animals have been a part of my life since I was two years old. I grew up surrounded by ducks, chickens, hamsters, dogs, birds, and even helped my mom foster and rehome cats—so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love all furry friends (reptiles still freak me out a little!), and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My beloved dog Lola passed away this year, and though she’s no longer with us, we now have Queen—who wasn’t originally mine, but has become part of our home and hearts. Your pets will get that same care, affection, and attention. What you can expect from me: • Calm, reliable, and flexible care • A fenced-in yard and a safe, pet-friendly home • Someone who rarely leaves the house—and if I do, your pet is never left alone for long • Backup support: I have trusted people on call to ensure your pets’ needs are always covered • Respect for your routines, rules, and instructions • Tons of updates, photos, and love for your fur babies Meet & Greet: I offer complimentary meet-and-greets near my home to make sure we’re the perfect match and that your pets feel comfortable with me. Star Sitter Status: I’m proud to have over 15 five-star reviews and to be recognized as a Star Sitter on the platform. Your trust truly means everything to me. Holiday Policy: Due to a high number of holiday cancellations in the past, I now have a stricter cancellation policy to ensure I don’t lose opportunities to care for other fur babies who need a sitter. Giving Back: As part of my pledge with Rover, beginning March 2020 I donate 5% of my profits to the Humane Society of the United States. Discount for New Clients: If you’re booking with me for the first time, enjoy $20 off with code: JOANNS76401. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to call or text. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾💛

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joanne seems really sweet but I was disappointed she didn’t use the Rover check ins regularly so communication was limited. Then she lost our house key. Perhaps she was just having a bad week but we will not book Joanne again.
Joanne is the best house sitter :) she is so amazing with our dog:
Does a great Job and leaves the house clean
Joanne is wonderful! We’ve used her multiple times and she has been so great to our pup every time. She’s always on time, quick to respond and sends pictures :) highly recommend!!
Joanne did a wonderful job taking care of my animals while I was away. I’d be happy to book with her again.
Joanne was excellent and reliable with great communication

Currently I work from home full time but with the yard am able to let them out regularly during work hours and can snuggle with them while I take calls!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for the pets in my home by taking them on regular walks and making sure they are loved. Depending on what each owner requires I am flexible. When I care for pets in your home I respect whatever rules provided by owners to ensure they get quality care.
A typical day
I will take your dog on walks around my neighborhood or at the beach. I will play ball with them if they'd like and I will love on them when they're with me! We will go on two regular walks a day, one morning walk and an evening walk. I will make sure they let out their energy and stay happy and calm - I will let them out in the yard regularly
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyJoanne can host up to 3 pets per night
- I would love to know if the dog sheds a lot so I can make sure I brush their hair more often, wether or not they are high or low energy. I would also need to know if there are any allergies/food restrictions/or sensitivities. I require flea medicine is given regularly and all major shots are up to date
