Ratings and reviews
This was my first week returning to work with a new puppy, and I had the puppy blues so badly! Joel made the whole transition so much easier and gave me such peace of mind while I was away at work. He was incredibly responsive, reliable, and so easy to work with. My puppy can be very skittish on walks, but after spending time with Joel, he is already so much more confident! It means so much knowing he is in such good hands when I can’t be there. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better walker/sitter. Thank you so much, Joel, for making this first week back to work so much easier for both of us! I highly recommend him!
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.
My Lucy takes time to warm up to people , Joel showed all the patience and knew how to Handel her . Thank you we look forward to a long relationship
Joel has been such an amazing help to us! He’s on time, consistent, and dependable. He goes above and beyond, not just taking him for a walk, but playing fetch and just hanging out with him! Joel sends picture of the walks and of them playing—it’s easy to see how comfortable and happy our dog is with him. I highly recommend Joel!

Schedule
I am the primary caregiver of my son when he's not in school. The rest of my schedule is often flexible, especially with advance notice.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Having been a dog owner for more than 10 years, I am skilled in head scritches and belly rubs, and am not scared of slobbery kisses or getting dog hair on my clothes.
A typical day
I love to play fetch, give belly rubs and go on long walks to get some exercise and explore the neighborhood. After stretching our legs, I like to finish visits with a treat or two and a head scratch while telling them they're a good boy/girl.
