Highlights
Pet care experience
Any and all pets deserve love!
In addition to dogs and cats, I love and have cared for many animals my entire life. I grew up caring for the family cat, dog sitting for friends and family, and working for the Prospect Park Zoo in NYC. As an adult I've volunteered for multiple animal shelters, and now care for my own baby Tortoise. As someone with a pet myself, I know how important it is that your sitter adores and respects your animals' needs. I prioritize your animal's health, safety, and happiness!

Thanks, Joe!
Joe is amazing. Sent updates regularly, great pics and took the time to make our pup feel loved. Highly recommend.
Joe is responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to work with!
Joe was communicative, responsible and sent pictures of Blurry and River. He did a great job caring for my fur babies.
Joe was great! It was my first time having someone watch Lily through a service. Joe kept in touch and updated me each day. Will absolutely book again.
Pet approved sitter! We will definitely be repeat customers.

Safety, trust & environment
Making sure pets get the attention they need is a top priority for me. Being a student, writer, and researcher, I work mostly at home. This allows me to spend additional time hanging out with those pets that enjoy some human company. I also love hiking, walking, and spending time outdoors. So if your pup needs to get some energy out in the woods, I'll be more than happy to be their guide! I can house small pets for a night or two - I live in a ~700 square foot apartment with a balcony and ample access to the outdoors. But someone cannot always be home, so cats and independent small dogs are preferred.
A typical day
I like to tailor my plans with pets around their needs. If they’re an adventurous pup with lots of energy, we can explore one of the many trails and parks just a short drive away. If they’re an older, more chill pet we can hang out and simply play with toys, and go for short walks in the nature surrounding my apartment.
