The Pet Whisperer

Pet care experience

Hey! I'm Joel, I'm a songwriter and musician with a flexible schedule and a huge place in my heart for pets. I've never met a dog I didn't love, and I've never met a dog that didn't love me. Some might say I've kinda got a knack for this thing. The kindest thing you could ever say to me is "wow, they're never like this with people they don't know!" I've been taking care of dogs my entire life, and am very passionate about the different breeds and their specific needs, from pitties to pekingese. I have two border collie lab mixes, Melon and Bear, and believe me when I say they're more human than animal. I'm happy to watch your pups in their own environment, or have them over to mine to meet Melon and Bear and run around in my tiki jungle paradise. I'm looking forward to taking care of your fur babies like my own, and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

The last experience didn’t meet our expectations. We scheduled an overnight stay for our cat while went out of town to see a show. It’s a cat so not much is needed. We asked that he follow her feeding time regimen, keep fresh water available, play with her using her toy a little bit, and scoop the litter box as needed. The stay got off to a rough start. We got a text a few hours prior that he would be about four hours late due to unforeseen circumstances. Okay, life happens, we were already out, it’s a cat, she can handle it. Four hours became five and half- we know because we have an alarm and an electronic door lock. There was no follow-up which left us sitting in the show wondering where he was and if he was actually going to make it. He did, finally, a little after 9 pm, but the visit was in and out. We assume just to put down some food, because he left shortly there after- 14 minutes. A couple of hours later (it’s now 11 pm) he made another quick in and out-7 minutes. Then nothing until 11 am the next morning. Again, in and out- 4 minutes. The feeding schedule was off, the little box was not scooped. Most importantly, we schedule (and pay for) overnight because we don’t the animal alone in the house at night. We tell our sitters we don’t expect them to be captive in the house, but he was in there a grand total of 25 minutes. disappointed

Joel was fabulous to work with! He came and met Benny before the stay, and I could tell from the way Benny responded to him immediately that this would be a great fit. He truly has a way with dogs! Benny was definitely well taken care of by Joel, and the house was kept clean. I couldn’t recommend Joel enough!
