Joel and his family were a great fit for Cooper. We love that they limit the dogs they take and have a fenced in backyard. We'll be back!

Joel is an exceptional pet caregiver who truly stands out for his kindness, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. Growing up on a farm, Joel was surrounded by animals from an early age, which gave him a natural confidence and deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. That upbringing clearly shaped his lifelong soft spot for animals and his calm, patient approach to caring for them. What makes Joel special is how attentive and thoughtful he is with every pet he meets. He takes the time to learn each animal’s routine, preferences, and quirks, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in his care. Whether it’s going on long walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, or simply offering extra affection, Joel treats every pet as if they were his own. You can trust Joel completely with your furry family members. He communicates clearly, follows instructions carefully, and always puts the well being of the animals first. It’s easy to see that caring for pets is not just something Joel does, but something he genuinely enjoys and takes pride in. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him, and any owner can feel confident knowing their animals are in such caring hands.

Schedule

I work from home so watching animals during the day is no problem. My dog is inside and outside with a large backyard to play around in. When it's very cold I let the dogs roam the main floor of the house.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications. In my home, pets are always supervised, kept in a clean space, and never left in unsafe situations. I make sure they’re comfortable and stress-free, with plenty of attention and exercise.
