Pet care experience

Your Dog Will Probably Like Me More

I’ve had dogs my entire life, so taking care of them has always felt completely natural to me. I’m also physically incapable of walking past a dog without stopping to say hello, which is probably why dogs tend to warm up to me pretty quickly. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and quirks, and I know how important it is to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. P.S. My rates are currently lower than usual while I build up my history and clientele on Rover, so this is your chance to get me before I become wildly overbooked. ;)

Joel has been a longtime friend who I know as a great care giver to his and his friends dogs. I wouldn't trust anyone else to dog sit for me when Im away. I always know my dog is in safe and capable hands.

We’ve trusted him with our animals many times and he always does an amazing job. Joel genuinely loves dogs and they seem to love him right back. He has a natural connection with animals and we always know they’re in great hands. We highly recommend him!

I’ve known Joel to be a caring and responsible person who genuinely loves animals. He’s patient, attentive, and makes sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. His friendly Blue Heeler is a great reflection of the kind of environment he provides—well-trained, happy, and social. I would feel completely confident trusting Joel with my own pets, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.

Schedule

I work from home, so I’m here about 90% of the day; which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I also go on a hike nearly every day, so if your dog enjoys getting outside and exploring, I’m definitely your guy.
