I have known Joe for many years and if something were to happen to myself, in which i could no longer care for my dog ie. (Death) he would be the first person I would ask to care for him. He "speaks" dog language well and is well versed with all breads. Not only he can be well trusted with your animals, I have asked him to take care of my fish and watch my home while I have been on holiday without any worries. He is very clean, punctual and reliable all traits which are highly needed for this position. Without hesitation i recommend him for house sitting or any position for that matter.
