Dog adventures or lazy days!

Pet care experience

Im a Navy Veteran, 27 years old and an animal lover. I have always been passionate about all animals. I have volunteered at a shelter as a dog walker/cat socializer for over a year. I currently volunteer at an organization as a foster parent and dog handler. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a well trained one year old rescue dog. I’m confident with nearly all dogs, no matter their behavioral capabilities and can control the strongest of pullers. I believe in positive reinforcement training and I’m confident I can build and strong and positive relationship with your pet. I will be very flexible my methods to meet your requests. Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you pets!

Joe is a true animal lover and has watched my dogs plenty of times when I am out of town. Not only does he watch my dogs, he also volunteers at a local rescue, fosters and has a dog of his own. Joe has experience handling all different types of dogs no matter the size or breed. Given his past history as a Navy Diver he can handle just about any situation, I always feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands under his care.

Joe is a volunteer for our organization Magnificent Mutts. He attends our dog events as well as fosters for us. He is very caring, always punctual, and willing to help whenever needed. We trust him with our dogs so you should too!

Information Joe Z. would like to know about your pet

How would you describe your dogs personality? Is there any pertinent information I should know about your dog? (Aggression, separation anxiety, chewing, prey drive, any inclination to chase) Is he/she socialized? Is he/up to date on all vaccines? Is he/she more dominant or submissive? What motivates them? (Food, play, affection) Do you allow them on furniture?

A typical day

This is largely based on your preferences for your pet. We can do just about anything. My personal favorite activity is walking through the woods/forest preserves. We can do city walks, runs, bike rides, playing in a lake/water, nature walks, pack walks with my dog, dog parks (if we’re both confident your dog can do it safely), fetch, tug of war, and all the basics. Basically whatever you think your dog will enjoy most!
