Pet care is an important part of my daily life. I’m currently participating in a research program at NYU Langone focused on improving mobility in my right arm. I attend physical therapy twice a week, which allows me plenty of free time and flexibility for walks, playtime, and boarding throughout the week and weekends. My routine gives me the perfect balance — time to stay active, care for pets, and provide consistent attention to every pets I host or visit.

About Joel M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s perfect for sitting and boarding. Our building includes a secure fenced yard, and we’re just minutes from two nearby parks, both with dedicated dog runs — great for exercise and playtime! The area has plenty of trees and safe pedestrian walkways, making every walk enjoyable and safe. Communication is key to building trust. I provide frequent photo and video updates during each stay or walk so you can see your pet safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. Whether at my place or yours, I always respect each pet’s personality, schedule, and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, calm, and loved.

Information Joel M. would like to know about your pet
Before any stay or walk, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s personality and preferences. Please share: • Whether they enjoy being around other dogs or prefer solo time • Their favorite games, toys, or routines • Any dietary needs or restrictions • Feeding and walking schedules • Any behaviors, fears, or special instructions I also like to keep healthy treats on hand for my furry guests — just let me know what they like best!
A typical day
Cuddles and affection are non-negotiable in my home! 🐶💛 A typical day includes fun walks through the park, games of fetch or tug-of-war, and playtime to release energy and keep tails wagging. If your dog enjoys socializing, I can bring them to one of our nearby dog parks to meet friends and explore safely. After plenty of exercise, we wind down with some relaxing time, belly rubs, and love. I always keep owners connected with their pets while they’re away. I send regular photo and video updates throughout the day — whether your dog is playing, eating, napping, or going to the bathroom. My clients love seeing their pets happy and active in real time! My goal is to make every stay fun, active, and stress-free — for both pets and owners.

Reviews
My dog was clearly well cared for — they sent plenty of photos throughout the stay showing her relaxed, playing with another dog, and getting good rest. They followed my indicated feeding instructions as well. What really stood out was how seamlessly they accommodated a last-minute booking when my plans changed unexpectedly. Highly recommend and would book again!
Followed my care instructions closely and kept me updated with plenty of photos. By the end of the stay, my dog had made new dog and human friends despite her initial nerves. Really appreciated the thorough rundown at pickup — I left feeling confident she'd been well looked after.
They took such good care of my Ollie! They treated him like family.
We have never left our little cockapoo with anyone before. We felt so at ease to leave our little heart with Joel and Marissa. They are so patient and understanding. We will definitely book them again.
