Pet care experience

Mature, dependable, and experienced, I’ve cared for pets my entire life and hold dog and cat handling certifications from the Elkhart County Humane Society. I’ve looked after dozens of animals and volunteer with Fort Wayne’s Tails on Trails dog-walking program.

I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.

Joel is great with critters, large and small. Our two dogs and a cat loved him! He also took care of my daughter's dog when she left town. Hint: Ask if he can do some yard clean-up and mowing, if you'll be gone a while!

Took care of our kitties and fish while we were staying out of town. Joel’s a reliable and trustworthy animal lover who follows directions. Highly recommend!
