Information Joe G. would like to know about your pet

Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What's your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What's the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

My responsibility is to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home.

Behavior, Board, and Lead!

Pet care experience

To have a wonderfully behaved, socialized pet dog, one must have a loving home with a pack leader at the helm! I have brought loving leadership, guidance and direction to all the pups I have worked with! I encourage pet parents to take a course in order to be a better leader for your own unique situation! Whether it’s training puppies, aggressive dogs, unsocialized dogs, well behaved dogs, senior dogs, little dogs, they all get a relaxed calm confident leader in me! I have always had a love for dogs and puppies; so much so that I started house sitting, boarding, exercising, and training them at every opportunity I’ve had. Your dog(s) well being is my priority! I treat them as if they were my own fur-babies.

Joe was great. Brewer had a blast and returned home exhausted after his weekend getaway

This was my first time using Rover. My dog Ringo was understood by Joe, he's a knowledgeable host. He accommodated Ringo's free spirit and playfulness. The photo portrait of my dog is a treasure, Joe went beyond my expectations!

Joe and Laurel are truly warm, kind humans who immediately made both me and Dottie feel comfortable and welcomed - like part of the pack. Their communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind. Dottie came home happy, healthy, and calm, and it was so clear she had been incredibly well cared for (she even came back with a noticeably shiny coat!). I would trust Joe and Laurel again and again with Dottie and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable sitters.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
