Caring, responsible pet caregiver

Pet care experience

I am experienced handling animals of all sizes and am happy to work with animals of all kinds - whether you have a dog or cat or more exotic animals like guinea pigs or ferrets I will do my best to accommodate the needs of you and your fur babies! I am also experienced in treating diabetes in cats including blood testing, planning and providing insulin treatments, and making necessary adjustments to diet, and would be happy to help pet parents explore all options in treating their animals!

Joe is a family friend, and has taken care of our dog Rocco and our cat Sam many times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and trustworthy, taking the care of our pets very seriously and spending extra time playing with them and making sure they are happy and healthy! Rocco is a Chow Chow and true to his breed is very temperamental and can be aggressive, especially towards strangers. We usually keep him away from newcomers for fear of him biting, but when Joe first met him he didn't shy away despite Rocco's growling, and actually knelt down and offered his hand for Rocco to smell! Rocco warmed up immediately, and Joe is now one of the few people outside our family who can pet him and doesn't act afraid around him. Sam also loves him because Joe will spend lots of time petting him and scratching his face and ears, giving him more time and attention than even our family does in a single sitting. I would 100% recommend Joe to anyone needing care for their animals. He is very reliable and takes caring for animals seriously, and he's a big guy who can handle a large dog pulling at his leash or acting aggressively in public.

I live in a small apartment so I'm unable to provide boarding services, however I am happy to provide services in your home so that your pet is happy and comfortable in their own regular environment. In addition to providing pet care I'm an aspiring photographer and as such will provide high quality photos of your pets so you can see the high level of care they are receiving.

Information Joe E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, whether medical, dietary or behavioral. Also if they have a favorite treat or toy to play with I'd love to know so that I can keep them as happy and comfortable as possible!

A typical day

I love to spend time with your dog doing what they love to do, whether it's walking around your neighborhood or playing catch in the yard or at the park. If your neighborhood isn't safe for walking I'm happy to drive them to a local park, but will require a suitable crate or harness for safely transporting your furry family member!
