About Joe K.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For dog sitting at my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and front yard, offering plenty of space for your dog to run around and play. I ensure a clean, pet-friendly environment indoors as well, with plenty of attention and cuddles. As for dog walking, I understand how crucial this activity is to a dog’s well-being. Walks are more than just exercise; they’re an opportunity for your pet to explore, socialize, and release energy. I make sure each walk is a joyful and enriching experience, tailored to your pet’s pace and preferences. As a pet owner myself, I will treat your fur babies with the same care and love I extend to my own.
Information Joe K. would like to know about your pet
Before taking care of a dog, I find it important to know about their: 1. Breed and age: To understand their specific needs and energy levels. 2. Health issues: Any allergies, dietary restrictions, or chronic conditions. 3. Behavior traits: How they interact with people and other dogs, and any behavioral issues. 4. Exercise and diet routine: Preferred walk times, feeding schedules, and portion sizes. 5. Training commands: To communicate effectively with the dog. 6. Emergency contact: Vet's contact information and any special instructions in case of emergency. Knowing these details helps me provide the best possible care and ensures the dog's well-being during our time together.
A typical day
A typical day begins with a warm greeting and some playtime to help the dogs ease into the day. Next, we go on a long walk, exploring local sights and sounds while getting in some much-needed exercise. We might visit some safe and friendly dog parks, where they can socialize and play freely. For a change of scenery and a bit of a treat, we often visit local dog-friendly coffee shops, giving them a chance to experience new environments in a controlled manner. Back home, we engage in stimulating games that cater to their instinctual needs, like fetch or tug-of-war. In the evening, as we wind down, I play relaxing puppy music to create a peaceful environment, helping them rest and recharge. Each day is a blend of physical activity, mental stimulation, and heartfelt care, ensuring your dogs are happy, healthy, and content.
