Pet care experience

I’ll ❤️ ur dog as if it were my own

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and to feel safe—no matter their personality or energy level. Your pup won’t just have a sitter—they’ll become part of the pack! My two friendly, well-socialized dogs, Martín (Doberman/Lab mix) and Simon (Corgi/Heeler mix), love making new friends and help every guest feel right at home. Whether it’s a walk, daycare, or an overnight stay, your dog will receive the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I know your dog is family, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine. You can relax knowing your best friend is in safe, caring, and dependable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. Whether we’re enjoying walks, playtime, relaxing on the patio, or simply spending quality time together, your pup will always receive plenty of attention and supervision. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and treated like family.

Joel was a great sitter and kept us well informed of how our dog was doing--often sending pictures of her playing with Martin and Simon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sitter in Atlantic City.

Joel is amazing. Our goldendoodle, Ollie, absolutely adores him. Ollie is a big boy (75lbs) and needs a lot of love and exercise everyday and he can sometimes be picky about his food, especially when we're out of town. Joel did an amazing job walking, cuddling, and taking care of our boy. Highly recommend Joel for petsitting.

Schedule

Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s already my lifestyle. Every day revolves around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quality time with my two dogs, Martín and Simon. When your pup stays with us, they naturally become part of our routine and our family. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, potty breaks, cuddles, and supervised play throughout the day. My goal is simple: I want every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back. While you’re away, you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is being cared for just like one of my own.

The more I know, the better I can care for your pup. Please let me know about their routine, personality, likes and dislikes, dietary needs, medications, or any behavioral quirks ahead of time. Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home from day one.
