Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Animal Lover for All
I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them!

Ratings and reviews
Joel was great! My two kitties instantly became friends with his. He was frequently sending me updates and photos even provided food bowls when I forgot to bring them with! Incredible. I’ll be using him again
Joel took excellent care of our lil guy. He sent frequent updates and made sure Junji was okay around the cats. I was nervous that Junji would be curious about the cats but Joel put me at ease. It was great to see my dog just lounging with his cat on the balcony. Too cute!
He was fantastic! I want to use him every single time. Millie looked happy with him. Joel was calm and soft spoken. Very polite. Well mannered, too. He sent me adorable pictures every single day. Millie looked comfortable. We texted, too. Joel walked early in the morning and after the sun went down. He’s a peach!
Joel is great! Squid seemed to have a fun time with Joel and came back happy. Joel was also very communicative and shared such cute pictures. He was also very flexible
Joel was a great sitter for our dogs. This is the second time he’s watched them and we got frequent updates and pictures of the pups while we were on vacation! We knew they were in good hands and came home happy. I would 100% use Joel again in the future.
Joel was great! Ozzy really loved being in his space. He's a great communicator; very responsive and takes the stress out of boarding your fur baby.

Schedule
I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!
Pets
A typical day
A typical day depends on each pet’s personality, routine, and energy level! For example, for dogs, I provide potty breaks, playtime, attention, and multiple walks throughout the day. Some dogs love exploring outside, playing with toys, or enjoying a game of fetch or tug, while others prefer calm company, naps, and belly rubs! For cats, I like to give them time to feel comfortable first, then offer playtime with toys like lasers, balls, and toy mice if they are interested. Some cats are playful right away, while others need quiet space and gentle attention. I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so their day feels familiar, safe, and comfortable while they are with me.
