Dog Whisperer with high energy

Pet care experience

I was introduced to dog walking after college by my roommate because I always talked about my love for animals, my family dog that I had growing up and cared for, and how much I enjoy being active. Boom! Dog walking became a perfect match during that transition. As I have gained more experience dog walking I also see that there is so much more to it than meets the eye. Dogs need love, attention, structure and rules, playtime and activity. I walked over six dogs a day Monday through Friday for almost two years and even had loads of overnight sitting jobs. I also did some light training with pups too. Although I am now a cat mom, I have spent many years living with my family’s dog and will always be a big dog lover. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Joi is an all around fantastic, caring and personable human being - towards you and your dog! I have a 6 year old Labrador who’s been my fur baby since 8 weeks old and any chance Joi comes to town, my pup and her indulge in some exciting times together, like frolicking in the grass, eating bananas, chasing balls and sitting at cafes people watching. I trust Joi with my pup every single time and pup equally goes crazy whenever she gets a whiff of her scent. It’s a mutual obsession. I’m sure your dog would become Joi obsessed too. Just watch and see!

Joi was a great pet sitter! Our puppy loved her! She was on time and very responsible. We highly recommend her services! We will definitely use her again!

In summer 2017, I consistently hired Joi to walk my bulldog and golden retriever, three times a week in Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY. She was always friendly, upbeat and on-time for every visit. I also needed her for an overnight weekend stay while I was on a business trip. She was attentive and responsive throughout the weekend. She’s a clear dog lover (and animal lover in general) and takes the job seriously. Only stopped using her because I moved and you will not regret hiring her!
