Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions, and otherwise just try to be your pet's friend while keeping things clean. I like to sit with animals or interact in a way where they get to know me, and offer my attention if they want it. Walks are big for me, but yard play is more appropriate for some dogs. I try to find something the pet and myself can bond over, that way they aren't as nervous when their human is absent. I like to make nicknames for pets too, and talk to them with baby talk when it's just myself and the animals.

Pet care experience

I have always had cats in dogs, and I feel like especially dogs are great for humans to have around. Over the years I have had 4 dogs, 5 cats part of our family...and one bearded dragon. I used to care for 2 different sets of 3 dogs weekly from the time I was 9 until I was 19. One set of dogs also had pond fish and a cat to take care of. I have had my dog for 11 years, she is a rescue from Puerto Rico. I trim my dogs nails, brush her teeth and do other grooming all myself. I have trained maybe a dozen puppies, but have not worked in a veterinarian's office. I have cared for horses and exotic birds on a bird ranch before, although the dogs on the farm were my main focus.

We were very disappointed by the services Joe provided. He was not respectful of our home. It was frustrating to return home to find such a mess. There was dog pee and poop inside the house, dirty dishes in the sink, the kitchen was a mess, and the dogs had no water. Luckily the dogs seem okay but it is hard to trust they were treated well when our house was not.
