Your Dog Will Love Me!
Pet care experience
If you're looking to have a great time, there's no better partner or teacher than a dog. They're the masters of having fun, and are seeking the same from their human counterparts. Their positive energy lifts my spirit and I can't wait to spend more time with them. I'm here to care for your dog when you're away, providing tons of love for your furry friend. Dogs are loving at their core and I immediately let them know that I am the same way. You and your dog will also love that I am an experienced pet caretaker. Though I don't have a dog of my own, I grew up with them, my family raised many dogs through the years. I have cared for friend's dogs all through the years and consider myself like an uncle or second parent to them. If your dog is active, they'll be right at home with me, I walk and bike many miles per day ensuring my ability to walk your dog for long stretches if they need. As for method when walking dogs, to me it is their leisure time and I respect them. I do hold them near for their protection when walking in busy areas. When your dog stays with me, you can count on them receiving the same kind of love and care that they get from you! I'll treat them just like my own. I can pet sit anywhere in Manhattan. My preference is SoHo, Tribeca, and Chelsea areas. Overall, it is simply wonderful to share time with dogs and I can't wait to meet yours!
Reviews
Joe was great. So gentle and kind with my pup!
Joe is the best! Our pups love him.
Joe is very reliable and was able to watch our two goldens on short notice. They loved him. Will definitely use Joe again!!
He was so great with my beagle pup, who was still recovering from surgery. I felt very comfortable that Bandit was in great hands with Joe.
About Joe D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Caring requires suitable time and awareness of each animal's behavior. Sharing positive energy benefits comfort and behavior both ways. Again, being attentive to care details is required.
Information Joe D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know their likes, personality and how they behave with others. I also would like to know how much they want to be petted and played with. The more I know about your dog the better I can care for them just like you do. I want their experience with me to closely mirror the kind of care they receive at home.
A typical day
We'll head to dog park with your permission (Washington Square for example). If they like tossing and retrieving play-balls, I'm a fetch expert. If they want to be carried for whatever reason, I'm happy to give them a break. I enjoy talking with them while walking because I sense that they enjoy the conversation and understand more than we give them credit for.
