Pet care experience
Your Pet's New Best Friend!
I've been taking care of animals and homes since I was 10 years old, and have had repeat business every time I have been given a job. I volunteer frequently with Safe in Austin, caring for animals with a variety of special needs and of all ages. I can do anything you would like with your animal, including walking, running, hiking, washing, and cuddling! I'll send you picture updates any day of the week, and I'll treat your animal as my own (I have three fur-babies myself!) While you're away, I can care not only for your pet, but also your house, including houseplants, gardens, and lawns. I will leave your home cleaner than when you left it! I can't wait to meet you and your little one, and I promise the best service I can offer to you.

Ratings and reviews
Joel was awesome. His communication and updates were great. Dionysus loved the time with him and Joel took great care of D and the house. I cannot thank him enough for coming through for me given the short notice stay.
Joel was wonderful with Archie! Would definitely love to have him again.
Would definitely recommend Joel for anyone looking for pet services! He was great with our dog Max and you could tell how comfortable Max was with him. With a senior dog comes some mobility challenges but Joel never batted an eye when agreeing to take care of him for an overnight. The updates and pictures gave us piece of mind knowing Max was taken care of!
Always so wonderful! We trust Joel completely!
Thank you, Joel. I’ll check on Xena when we get home. Maybe she just got spooked by something!! You are so wonderful with all of them!!
Joel & Garrett are excellent pet sitters. Our pups and cat love them! They are very attentive, responsive and respectful of our home. I highly recommend them!

A typical day
We can walk around your neighborhood, at your local park or a nearby hiking trail, or even just in your backyard - whatever you and your dog are comfortable with. We will play fetch together, watch some TV together, read together, and really do anything that is requested!
