Information Joel Q. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how the dog is, behaviour wise and how would I expect them to be overnight in a home they’ve never been in. I do have a dog so it would be easier for them to get adjusted. I’m also willing to board and train your pups if need be for an extra cost.

A typical day

I would take the dogs on a nice walk through the bush and in a big open field and let them run around. I would bathe them, cut their nails if allowed too by the owner.

Experienced Boarding & House Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Joel — a lifelong dog owner who truly treats every dog as if they were my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with daily care, basic training, senior dogs, and administering oral medications. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention. When boarding, dogs are rarely left alone and typically never longer than 4–5 hours. I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal as possible, including daily walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of affection. I offer both dog boarding and house sitting, and I take both responsibilities seriously. Whether your dog is staying in my home or I’m staying in yours, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and a calm, safe environment. For house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own. I’m comfortable handling mail/packages, plant watering, garbage and recycling days, and maintaining a clean, secure space while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind — knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m a strong believer in communication and am happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away.

This was the first time we used a dog sitter, but it definitely won’t be the last! Joël not only put our pup at ease, but put us at ease with updates, photos and even a video! Maverick was well cared for and treated like family! No more kennels for our little guy - we will be trusting Joël with our dog sitting needs from now on!

Joel is excellent with dogs! He is very kind and considerate. I know my pups are safe, and well taken care of when in Joel’s care. Would definitely recommend!

Joel is wonderful with our little dog Opel. Opel is quite yappy and easily spooked and within minutes she is loving Joel and licking his face, she honestly loves him. He’s great with little dogs and big dogs alike!

Took good care of the dogs and really cares. Hard to find someone who is actually dedicated these days with the whole younger generation always playing on their electronics. This guy impressed us!

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.
