Information Joy R. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate owner provides me info regarding the pets character, mundane routines with owner at his house, if the pet is on medication, any allergies, a contact for personal vet, etc.

A typical day

Play with your pet, welcome cuddles, walk them in my neighborhood, visit parks around town, and depending on dog's fitness I may try to take them on a hike. I confirm with the owner for any questionable activities such as walking, taking the pet to the park/hiking, or car rides.

I love caring for cute 🐶🐱s.

Pet care experience

Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take good care of their pets and were never disappointed and could always depend on me. They gladly referred me to others for their pet sitting and house sitting needs.

Joy was wonderful with our senior dog! She was so kind with him and with me and all my instructions. She has a nice patio that our dog enjoyed, and she gave him regular walks around the neighborhood. She also gave him his medications without any problems. Joy has a calm personality and a welcoming house, and my dog came home happy and relaxed. I would definitely recommend her!

Joy was a great housesitter and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. She sent us lots of pics the whole time and kept us in the loop about how things were going at the house. We had a water issue at the house while she was staying, and she was great about communicating with us to get everything sorted out. Came back to a clean house and a happy pup :) would absolutely recommend!

Joy went above and beyond for my senior kitty (who normally does not like strangers). She took amazing care of her, got her to take her medicine, spent time making sure she was comfortable, and was incredibly communicative to put us at ease! It made traveling so much easier knowing Sadie was well taken care of.

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.
