Pet care experience

Not just a pet; he’s my best friend

From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).

Joe continues to be our go-to sitter. I’ve actually planned trips around his availability because we don’t want our big baby to be with anyone else while we are gone. Luckily, he has a pretty open schedule and is so flexible and accommodating. We always get lots of photos of Archie and his cuddle time with Joe. 5 ⭐️

Joe did a great job caring for our 2 dogs. He was easy to communicate with about the booking details and responded quickly when we had questions! Made drop off and pick up smooth and dogs seemed comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Joe was able to watch our pup with little notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I could tell our dog Oscar was comfortable at his home. I would recommend Joe to my friends and family.
