Information Joel G. would like to know about your pet

I’m not open to watching dogs that are aggressive to humans and I also at least need a heads up if they aren’t friendly towards other dogs.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on hikes or to the beach. Alternatively we can also just play fetch or tug of war in the back yard or walk around the neighborhood. If the dog is really friendly I can also take her/him to the the dog park.

Pet care experience

I owned dogs for about ten years and started walking and watching other peoples’ dogs about 6 years ago. I have also walked and fostered dogs through Sequoia Humane Society.I have provided walking, boarding, house sitting, and some cat care. I love taking dogs out on hikes and staying active.

Joel is amazing with my girl. He is great with communication and takes the time to treat my dog like he would his own. I highly recommend reaching out to him for all of your needs. I have a young Australian shepherd who is hesitant of strangers but he had patience with her and now she loves him. I can’t recommend him enough.

Joel is such a wonderful dog sitter! He's always there when I need him and even last minute which is absolutely amazing for our busy lives!! I truly trust Joel in my home and with my animals. 10/10 would recommend Joel to anyone in the Humboldt County area!

I know Joel from work. I am so happy he is offering his care on Rover.com. I call Joel Dr Doolittle because he has a special communication with animals (all kinds!). I know my Pittie Duke will be cared for, have fun, be safe, be loved, and enjoy his time with Joel. I don't worry about anything when I know he is in Joel's care.

Joel has watched my dog several times while i was on vacation. He is trustworthy and a dog person. My dog loves him. Joel will make sure your dog has fun and is safe.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
