Dog momming is hard!
Pet care experience
If I could do life all over again, I would be a veterinarian and run a shelter. I’ve had pets of all kinds my entire life and sometimes like them better than some people, if we’re being honest. 😉 I have volunteered and fostered for a well known local animal rescue for the past year. I love nurturing dogs from being unsure and scared from shelter life, to being happy, loved and confident. I currently have 2 Yorkies and I am a proud “foster fail” of a loving boxer/hound mix. They are my children, and yours will be too! I’ve used Rover in the past as a client and I give to my fur-families what I expected from my walkers/sitters. I work from home and have good flexibility with my schedule. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so please note that I do not consider pets without a full profile, temperament description, full vaccinations, vet information, etc. Also, my home has all hardwood floors, so dogs with a fear of them, probably wouldnt be very happy here. 😢 Lastly, I am unable to board (for overnight or daycare) any dog, puppies included, that is not FULLY house trained.

Joi gives me the peace of mind to travel and know my baby is safe and happy! Been working with her for almost four years and have always felt she goes above and beyond each time!!
Jodi was awesome. Super flexible and sent lots of pics! I really felt like she was a true dog lover. My dog seemed To have a great time playing with her fur babies. I would recommend her to anyone!
Joi takes care of my baby as if he was her own!! Best all around!!
Joi feels like family to us! Finn loves her and her house and her 3 dogs, which is comforting when we’re away. Finn has had trouble with other Rover options and struggles with some dogs, but at Joi’s there is only happiness, snuggles and play time! She texts pictures and is very communicative. We always appreciate when Finn gets to stay with Joi!

I have a small fenced yard for play and potty breaks. My three dogs are all dog and people friendly, but will give signals and respect for personal space.

Information Joi S. would like to know about your pet
My main objective is to build a trusting relationship with the owners and a bond with the pet. I aim for my fur-clients to look forward to our time together and give owners peace of mind. My main questions are: 1) Is your dog friendly with dogs of all sizes? 2) What is their general personality and temperament? 3) Is your dog FULLY house-trained? 4) Is you dig out it date on vaccinations, rabies and flea/tick/heart worm preventatives? 5) who is your dogs vet? 6) has your dog ever bitten/attacked another dog or ever been bitten/attacked by another dog?
A typical day
Lots of play time with the right amount of boundaries. Play dates or dog park visits as much or as little as you’d like. Hiking, jogging and fetch and belly rubs are all on the menu.
