Animal Loving Cat Dad

* I have been taking care of my family dogs for nearly 20 years. After moving out on my own I have had the ability to rescue two cats who I love to spoil and care for since I couldn’t have a dog. I’ve recently moved in with my gf and we have an older dog. I love walking dogs and helping owners take care of their animals since I couldn’t have my own for so long due to where I lived. I’d love to be able to help you with your animals and give them exercise and love while you are at work and out of town.

Joe was great with our dog and cat! Sent lots of photos/updates and was very responsive. Left our home looking just like we left and he went out of his way to take care of them when he had a potential conflict. Highly recommend

Our experience with Joey as our dog sitter was excellent. He’s easy going, responsible and attentive. He provided great care for our dogs, and we felt at ease knowing they were in capable hands. Joey's genuine affection for animals was evident in his interactions with our pets. He made sure they were comfortable, well-fed, and received both exercise and attention. Also, Joey was respectful of our home. We highly recommend Joey's services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Joe was great with our pups. He prepared well with questions and meeting them. He took amazing care of them and kept in touch sending updates. He also was respectful of our home while he watched them there. I would definitely use Joe again and recommend him to others!

I currently work full time in the New Haven area but live in Fairfield! I work a typical 9 am to 430 pm job. I have no issue being up early or staying up late. During the week I can walk your dog or drop in anytime between 4am and 7am and 5:30pm and 11pm. From Friday at 5:30pm until Sunday at midnight I am fully available! If I stay at your home to watch your animal, I will only be gone for work and an hour at the gym.
