My day is organized around scheduled visits to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care. For dog walks and drop-ins, I follow a consistent routine that includes: • A safe, structured walk based on your dog’s energy level • Potty break and water refresh • Feeding or medication if needed • Quick home check (doors, messes, etc.) • Photo and update after each visit I plan my schedule carefully so I can be dependable and on time, especially for recurring weekday clients who rely on consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am cautious and protective of the animals and its surroundings. I make sure to pay attention to the dogs behavior and environment in the home or out on a walk.

Information Joyann W. would like to know about your pet

Some of the most important things I ask about include: • Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions • Daily routine and preferred walk times • Energy level and exercise needs • Behavior around other dogs or people • Any medical needs or medications • Triggers, anxieties, or things to avoid • Emergency contacts and vet information

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they’re both happy and comfortable. My goal is to keep pets engaged, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owners are away.

care & love for animals

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since I was 10. I have assisted in bathing, grooming, walking, administer medication, cleaned up after three dogs (medium- large size). I currently have three month husky puppy, I help potty train, basic commands, etc. I also have two cats raised them from bottle to wean them off to adult food and litter box train. In high school I had the opportunity to assist vets with vaccinations, cleaning, administering medication, feeding etc. I also had a variety of pets from birds, cats, dogs, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit . I have volunteered at the humane society walking dogs and playing with the cats every other weekend. I graduated from the veterinary program at South Texas high School for Health Professions.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Upon booking request she immediately set up a meet and greet. She understood my anxiety of leaving my pets for the first time in a few years. Joyann was great at communicating & reporting updates about my pets, my home was safe in her care as well. In between drop in visits I could see my pets were happy and relaxed. This is my first experience not only using Rover but any sitter, Joyann made it possible for us to enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be booking for any future plans.

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.
