I like to get away from working at home in the winter by going on walks throughout the day (dog walks hopefully) or to drop in on a friend's cat, hang out). Or work from another home, a pet sit, in new york or paris or miami.

Safety, trust & environment

I have extensive experience with cats and dogs and others as well (mostly fish and crawlies). But additionally, I have experience with administering medicine, shots, and IV. I lead an active lifestyle and work from home which makes for good company and great walks. As well I'm open to coming beforehand to meet in person before the first time.

Information Joe would like to know about your pet

Any incidents of any sort. wiggle room (time wise). how frequently do they need to go out. do they snatch food off the floor, if ill, vet info and procedure, anything you know needs mentioning even if not asked ahead of time. thanks

A typical day

each pet is different and we'll discuss this with the pet owner to go with what works first and see if we can build on that.

Raining cats and dogs? say no more

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and dogs but more to the point I've been house sitting for the past couple of years for friends and for travel and I've grown used to being around pets. I can't have any as I travel extensively for work and family. I have experience with leash reactive dogs, special cases, very shy pets, high energy pets, and meds for pets. Friends, family, neighbors and strangers alike all trust me with their pets and their homes. Willing to meet before we get going. You can check out my extensive pet sitting experiences on trusted house sitters.

Joe was great. Communicative, sent pictures, took packages in and trash out, and our cat didn't hide from him. Although friendly, he can get mad when we go away so the fact that he appeared for Joe means Joe has a way with animals. Would highly recommend Joe.

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.
