I work full time but AT HOME! :) Because of this, your pet will be supervised and shown attention at least 95% of the time. I typically expect to go on walks at least 3 times a day, but I am certainly open to requests.

Your pet will be the only pet present, so 100% attention will be shown. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with a large patio over looking the water which your pet will have access to. There are multiple dog beds set up throughout the space and I have a basket full of toys! Walking will include a trail along the water outside my building as well as potential to walk the Courtney Campbell causeway depending on circumstances.

Information Joe W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special needs or preferences your pet requires. As I understand that all pets are different, I would like to ensure that I do my best to accommodate your special friends.

A typical day

Beside the usual walks along the trail and sea wall in my neighborhood, I also provide a basket full of toys and a playful disposition. There is a nature reserve within a 5 minute drive that I also frequent with the pups. Lots of smells, nature, and rarely visited by others.

The love and care your pet deserves

Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up with many dogs and have raised a rescue basset for the past 14 years. She was the light of my life, but, unfortunately, crossed the rainbow bridge recently. Even though I’m not quite ready to rescue another pupper, I am sure ready to show yours some love and care!

Our family truly felt that Joe was the perfect match for our Great Dane, Luna. He took the time to give extra dog toys and chews to entertain her. He chose the preferred times to walk her in the Florida summer heat. Joe is very trustworthy.

Joe is absolutely fantastic. We left our 7 year old rescue with him who can be tricky sometimes & Joe knew exactly how to handle him. Ace was happy and stress free which actually gave us a chance to relax on our trip. Highly recommend Joe!

Joe was an absolute life saver for us! He watched both our dogs while we were away at our wedding and not once was I anxious or worried about them being away! He provided so many photos/videos and updates of our girls having the best weekend with him, will be calling him again for any future stays needed for sure
