Huge guy, big heart.

Pet care experience

I love dogs. I have my entire life. So why start a rover? Well, back in 2015 I had a moment of clarity while in an ambulance on the way to a hospital in Denver, Colorado. I wasnt happy. It could have had something to do with the stroke I had, but truly it had been a feeling I had been fighting for awhile, I wanted to do something that I loved for a living, Now after a couple years of recovery, a different jobs exploring different fields, I found my passion in a Suberian Husky puppy I named Toki. He showed me the love and commitment that dogs give us as companions and I would love to help provide our friends with the care they deserve.

I have known Joe for many years. Have seen him handle dogs ( and cats) on numerous occasions. Dogs seem to know he is the boss and also a friend. Joe is attentive and responsible as well as fun. He loves to play with his own beautiful Husky and when he has cared for my dog on occasion I have been very pleased with the service we received. I highly recommend Joe as a care giver for anyone's dog (or cat)!

My two dogs love Joe and he has done a great job walking them during the day and has taken care of them several different times while we were out of town. They are always happy to see him.

Joe R is very capable of caring for household pets and he is extremely confident with both dogs and cat. He grew up in a very pet friendly environment and helped raise two border collies, a Siberian Husky and three household cats. His patient and caring personality is ideal for putting the most tentative household pet at ease. I actually consider him a "dog whisperer". He is organized, trustworthy and dependable...I think he would be a terrific member of your team

Information Joe R. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds, HOWEVER, I do need to know temperaments around people (new/familiar), other dogs, and other animals. This information will help me create the best plan to make sure that your dog gets the best care possible.

A typical day

Grew up around Manassas/Woodbridge so I can either take your best bud to a local park or path, or even take him a little more into the wilds, depending on what you think they would enjoy the most.
