Information Joyce L. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. It’s helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, triggers, leash behavior, and how they interact with other dogs or people. The more I know in advance, the better I can keep them safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. We’ll enjoy engaging walks, playtime with their favorite toys, mental enrichment games, and plenty of affection. My goal is to keep pets active, happy, and comfortable while maintaining the routines they know and love. 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for my own 3 dogs and 4 cats, so I understand different pet personalities and needs. I provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining each pet’s routine. Mine, for example, love being outdoors all day even when they’re snow outside! 🥺 Please be mindful: I’ve been around on this app for over a year now and this is the most important things ive found: - be specific about your pet’s needs: do you dilute the food with water? Let me know and I will too. My priority is to make your pet feel like comfortable at home. - flexible times vs time constrained: Is the time of visit strict because your pet needs a medication, special diet, etc? Let me know in advance! I try my best to organize and optimize my work day by grouping my visit by zones. If your time is not super restrictive, I’ll default it to either AM or PM schedules based on the time you set (9 am visit goes to AM / 6 PM visit go to PM) - home cameras: So useful!! I have two of my own. They’re super useful to monitor on your pet when they’re alone, however if you’re planning on live monitoring the visit, I’d appreciate you letting me know during our meet and greet. I like to focus on your pet and their needs during our time and I’m also pro personal privacy for all! :)

Joyce was excellent! Took care not only of our cat’s basic needs but also giving her additional attention and care so we knew she wasn’t too lonely. Joyce also noted some issues with our cat’s automatic feeder and otherwise that we were able to address right away when we returned.

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.
