Animal lover for hire!

Pet care experience

I’ve personally had pets and cared for them for over 20 years. Professionally I’ve helped many others care for their pets. I’m experienced, insured and will care for your pets with the same dedication that I have to my own pets. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I have always have time to care for your pets and my wife, who is also an animal lover, helps me on occasion if needed. I will be respectful of any rules you have for your own home, and uphold routines and training you have in place with your pets. My own home is animal friendly and safe, and I have a fenced in yard for my own two medium sized dogs.

Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.

We were nervous about leaving our puppy, Ivy, overnight for 4 days, but Joel exceeded all of our expectations! From the start, Joel was very responsive, professional, and friendly. He sent us daily updates and pictures which really put our minds at ease. We knew Ivy was in good hands, getting lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime with Cash. We will definitely use Joel again in the future!

My husband and I were delighted with the care Buddy, our mini poodle, received from Joel. We received a variety of photos of him at different times of the day. Upon his return, Budddy just went back to his comfortable chair as if he had never left it. I say this to say that he was a happy, stress free dog when he retruned home. We are most grateful for the excellent care Joel provided Buddy! We would not hesitate to use him again. Thank You

Joel was the absolute best! I have a dog that is very uncomfortable around most guys and he loved Joel! He stayed at my house when I was in Hawaii and I felt very comfortable knowing that my babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) we in good hands. I highly recommend him to take care your pets!
