Dogs like me because I'm a furface.

Pet care experience

I love discovering a dog's unique personality in order to incorporate outings and play that allow them to express their best selves. I am the 'fun guy' that all my customer's dogs remember because I incorporate new and unusual experiences into their lives. I feel routine and consistency are necessary to establish trust in a pet. A trusting dog is more open to activities such as: on and off leash walks, bike rides, swimming, canoeing, hide and seek, obedience polishing, socialization, pet store visits, chin scratches, and belly rubs. I am caring, empathetic and kind. I see the value of personalized pet care over leaving dogs home alone. I believe in kind words and praise over domineering behaviors that would scare a pet into submission. I am eager to socialize and share adventures with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I love sharing dog stories.

Excellent at taking care of Lucy. With other minders, she was agitated and out of sorts when I got home she was so calm and just her normal self. I know that is because she was happy with you. Your photos were beautiful

Joel has now looked after Nessa twice, and he’s been absolutely amazing both times. He leaves our home spotless, gives regular updates, and always sends the cutest photos of Nessa living her best life. She clearly feels comfortable with him — she even got to go out to a local restaurant on their last stay, which she loved. Nessa can be a bit particular, but she settled in with Joel right away. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with him again.

Joel was fantastic at watching our pets and house while we were away. Our pets had a lot of fun and really enjoyed his company! He also sent a lot of photos while we were away which was appreciated!
