Here to help with your beloved pets

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Joe. I just completed my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (which means I’ve got plenty of time this summer to help take care of your loved ones!), and I live with my fiancee who is a veterinarian (definitely a plus for my animal know-how). I love all types of animals, and am excited to help you take care of your beloved fur baby ❤! I was raised in Maine, and our family had a whole mess of animals growing up, from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs! You name it! Needless to say I have years of experience with animal care, and I have a profound love for pets as members of the family. Currently my fiancee and I have two dogs, Jackie (my fiancée's) and Gally who get the same loving treatment your friend will. I actually lived in Senegal prior to starting my Ph.D., and while i was there I rescued my beloved Gally, who was a street dog. She's been my heart since then!

Joe took excellent care of our girls. We got daily feedback and pictures and we felt reassured they were comfortable and happy with him. We really appreciate him and already have three more bookings in the future with Joe. 🐾❤️

My favorite past time with your pets is walks and enjoying the fresh air, weather permitting. If you have a yard I tend to spend as much time relaxing with them outside as they enjoy!
