Pet care experience
I have experience taking care of many breeds and sizes of dogs. Previous work includes working as a veterinary technician, dog sitting, walking, and training. Your dogs safety is my primary concern. As a vet tech I learned how to administer oral medication, eye drops, administer iv and im injection. I also understand the importance medication scheduling. I was taught a method of dog training which involves positive reinforcement. The core goals of this training method are to be able to have your dog maintain a position and come to you when called. Dog walking comes naturally to me. I always like to keep moving, and have been a jogger for years. I have learned to tailor dog walks to their needs. Whether your dog is a 1 year old high energy dog like a weimaraner or a geriatric pug, I will make sure that your dog gets the proper amount of exercise. I'm currently studying for medical entrance exams, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup. I'll take a walk with your dog and settle in for a lecture. I maintain open clean floor space for the safety of your pets.
Reviews
This was my first experience with Rover and Joel made it worry-free. He came for a meet and greet before the house sitting day and everything when smoothly which I really appreciated. Will definitely book with Joel again for similar needs
Joel was super responsive. Kept our dog very active and us fully informed. He has great instincts for the animals. He even went the extra mile to make sure to dress him in a coat and booties during the cold weather spell.
Joel took amazing care of our 5 month old pup, was wonderful with communication and took great care of our home! Will certainly use Joel again in the future.
Joel was very communicative and sent me pictures the whole time! My dog Rue was in a great mood after and seemed very happy :)
