Availability
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!

About Joel P.
Communication
Skills
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!
Home
Information Joel P. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your pet’s daily routine so I can keep their stay as familiar and comfortable as possible! Please share their feeding schedule, portion sizes, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, and any medications or special care needs. It’s also helpful to know how they usually do around other dogs, cats, or small animals, and whether they prefer lots of attention or quiet space. The more I know about their personality and routine, the better I can care for them like they’re at home!
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.

Caring Animal Lover for All
Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
Joel P. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
We had a great experience with Joel! He took excellent care of our cats and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our flight was delayed coming home, and he was very accommodating and flexible, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!
Joel was AMAZING with Buddy. Sent so many photos, took him out regularly, and was super communicative. So happy we found Joel!!
Great sitter for my dog! Will use again!
