Hello! My name is Joe, and I've been surrounded by pets my entire life. Not only did I grow up with many pets but I have supported my parents, girlfriend, and friends with their pets as well. I'm not certified or licensed in training but I feel very capable encouraging good behavior. I have experience with dogs of all ages so I can keep up with young, energetic dogs. And I can match the pace of older, relaxed dogs. I also have plenty of experience with cats as well! I enjoy spending time playing with cats and understand their needs. Extra service details: My house sitting rates include 2 walks a day, any extra walks will be charged my regular walking rates. Is your dog difficult and or reactive to other dogs/people? No worries, I can handle them. But I do charge the "puppy" rate for dogs that can be difficult on a leash. I'm currently self employed and get most of that work done at night. So I prefer mornings through the afternoon for walks. I prefer to spend my weekends with the people I love. So I am unavailable for walking but can possibly cater to house watching depending on the details. Always feel free to reach out if you have questions! I can not care for animals at my current home unfortunately. But I can absolutely cater to the needs of you and your animal . I'd be happy to speak over the phone or meet up, just let me know and we can figure something out.
