Joe has been watching my family and I’s dogs for years. He’s reliable, responsive and great with them all. He’s very accommodating to our pets special needs as well. 10/10 would recommend! we don’t trust our animals with anyone else.

Joe is a phenomenal pet sitter, watcher, walker, etc. I have a young, playful labradoodle who always enjoys his company and he is one of the best I have found from using Rover. Whether it be a quick walk around the block or dog sitting for an entire weekend while I’m away, he’s my go to and I have used him time and time again. Cannot say enough about how great Joe is!

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog walker, safety takes top priority in my book. Handling up to five dogs simultaneously underscores the critical importance of maintaining order and ensuring everyone's well-being. It's an absolute must to keep every pup safe and well-behaved during our walks.

Information Joe F. would like to know about your pet

I'm completely open when it comes to the dogs I care for—no preferences on breed, age, weight, or anything else. If your dog is reactive, that would be beneficial to know beforehand just so I am sure to be mindful of that when caring for them.

A typical day

With my expertise in dog training, I thoroughly enjoy practicing commands and training sessions during our time together. Of course, walks are a given, but we'll also engage in energetic play, including running around and playing fetch. If your furry friend enjoys swimming, we can include that too, but I'll always respect your preferences. Additionally, if you'd like, I can provide bathing services to keep your pup fresh and clean. Just let me know how I can make your dog's experience extra special!
