Safety, trust & environment

Safety for your home and pet are priority. I take care to properly leash and harness your pet before going outside. I take care to always lock doors behind me. During walks, my priority is watching your dog, to make sure they don’t eat strange things, and that they get their sniff time in. I try to take paths away from or around other pets and people for the safest walks.

Information Joe S. would like to know about your pet

What is your pet’s favorite toy? Does your pet have a favorite bathroom spot. Any other walking/bathroom quirks. ie, when I’m walking my dog, he will not go if he thinks I’m watching, so I have to pretend to look up at the trees. Any restrictions on amount or type of treats? Any mobility or dietary restrictions? Any medical issues?

A typical day

Activities that I play with my pups are fetch, tug of war, brain tease puzzles, or sometimes just belly rubs. I also reinforce verbal commands with treats or praise.

Pet care experience

I currently have 3 rescue dogs who all have their own unique personalities and needs. I pay attention to animal behaviors to get to understand them better. I am patient and make sure I stay zen around animals so they feel comfortable. I am also very observant of my surroundings for safe walks and pet visits.

Joe is amazing. He takes care of my girl and she’s even gotten better at walks with me! He is also aware of how she’s progressed during his time with her. I totally trust him!

Joe was my regular, daily dog walker for over a year. He was absolutely fantastic. He took notes on my few specifications and made sure my Petri was well taken care of in my absence. He was flexible with my work schedule and a real pleasure. I’m sad that he is no longer able to walk Petri but thankful for everything he has done!

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.
