Information Joel Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what makes your pup unique and special. Do they have a favorite toy, activity, treat or any needs that I should be aware of and would help me make a new furry friend?

You have excellent interpersonal skills since you talked the gate guard into letting you in. I appreciate your initiative and attention to detail. Hope to see you again.

Super responsive and agreed with very little notice (on a holiday…In the cold…and the snow!)

We are so grateful to have found someone as patient and kind as Joel for our dog Lucy. She can be quite nervous and hesitant around new people, but Joel took the time to understand her pace and earn her trust. His calm and gentle approach made a huge difference—Lucy is now excited for her walks! Highly recommend for anyone with a sensitive or anxious pup.
