Pet care experience
I’m an energetic and tolerant animal lover with a large fenced in yard, not ready for a dog of my own, but I do need an occasional dog fix. I’m a single guy with no pets or kids, so they will have all of the attention with no worries for them harming/being harmed by other entities. I'm very active which means your dog would be too. I find petting dogs to be comforting, and letting your dog sleep in my bed is up to your dog (if they are groomed). I dog sit for many of my co-workers and they all refer to me as the "dog whisperer". I've dealt with rescue dogs that don't like strangers, and even they have grown to like me. I am gone 7-4:30 Monday-Friday, if this isn’t an issue shoot me a message. Special pricing for Goldens!
Reviews
Joe recently house sat for us over the weekend and while we are pleased with how the house was cared for, we felt like the communication/ timeliness had room for improvement. We asked Joe to arrive around 7pm to give our dogs dinner and he didn’t come until 9:15pm without any text communicating he was running late. We are very flexible people but just became worried that maybe he forgot/ wasn’t coming and eventually reached out to check in. The next day he was with our dogs in the morning, stopped back at the house around 3pm and then didn’t return again until 9:15, after our dogs were supposed to have dinner. We have one dog that is very anxious and unfortunately becomes very worked up when she feels like she won’t get her dinner on time. This was a bit frustrating to us since we told Joe the time we feed the dogs and had it typed up for him. Overall, Joe was kind and gave good updates when reached out to, and our dogs were happy when we arrived home, but I’d maybe suggest better communication.
Joe was fantastic and super accommodating for a last minute trip. Our dog hardly missed us at all!
Joe is absolutely wonderful! I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone needing boarding, walks, etc. He truly cares about animals and making sure everything is taken care of. He even goes the extra mile by offering you to come see his place prior to having your dog boarded. DEFINITELY will be using
Joe watched our 7 month old golden retriever, Gus, over the weekend. He was flexible with our schedule for drop-off and pick-up times. He was really great with our dog and you can tell he is a true dog lover. Gus got a lot of attention, went on walks and got to socialize with another golden retriever. We will definitely call Joe again when we need a sitter!

I have never had an issue in my 16 years of dog sitting so (knock on wood) I can safely say that I can be trusted with your pup. My house is very tidy, so no concern for choking hazards.
Information Joe V. would like to know about your pet
My biggest concern is knowing that a dog is at least 3 months house trained and is ok with going the 9 hours I am gone for work if we are trying for weekdays.
A typical day
I run 3-4 days a week, don't mind driving the dog to the park, i will play tug-o-war or any other games involving their toys
Services
Joe can watch in your home
Availability
I am gone weekdays for work between 7-4:30 and try to stay busy, but when I’m watching a dog, I generally try to avoid leaving out of guilt…
