Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency with the pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure the home is respected and left exactly as I found it. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, health, and comfort, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I have reliable transportation, which allows me to safely take dogs to nearby parks and walking trails when appropriate, and I enjoy spending time outdoors to give pets proper exercise and enrichment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or quiet companionship, I focus on creating a calm, dependable environment so pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
Information Joe D. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any allergies, medication, or certain preferences? What’s his or her favorite treat? What’s your pets favorite way to burn off energy?
A typical day
I love keeping pets active and engaged in ways that match their energy and personality. For dogs, that often means playtime, regular walks, and trips to local parks. When appropriate, I can also take dogs on longer walks or hikes at places like Red Mountain State Park or other nearby trails to give them exercise and mental stimulation. For cats, I focus on interactive play, enrichment activities, and quality one-on-one time to keep them relaxed and entertained. Whether it’s outdoor adventures for dogs or calm, engaging play for cats, I make sure every pet gets attention, activity, and care tailored to what they enjoy most.

Reliability and Care Guaranteed
Pet care experience
I’m originally from Birmingham and recently completed three years of Peace Corps service, where reliability, responsibility, and adaptability were essential parts of daily life. Prior to that, I worked for a year at an animal hospital, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medication, following detailed care instructions, and responding calmly to unexpected situations. I take pet care seriously and focus on providing a safe, consistent, and low-stress environment. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure animals feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.
Reviews
Joe was a great pet sitter. Good communication, arrived on time. Our good boy Scooby loved hanging out with him. Joe sent photos letting us know he and Scooby were getting along well. Highly recommend Joe!
Took great care of my dog during his drop in. Thank you!
I trusted Joe with my former service dog, now retired, and our home. And we cannot speak highly enough about his services. Our dog liked Joe immediately, he followed all our housesitting instructions, and our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. Joe communicated in a timely and clear way. He showed up on time and dressed like a responsible professional for our initial meeting. And he exceeded our expectations. We will definitely use Joe again.
Joe is a great guy and I feel comfortable knowing that Brody is in great hands. Joe is always quick to respond, has veterinary knowledge from working in a vet clinic and definitely passionate about animals. No doubt he treats them as his own. I highly recommend Joe.
