Safety, trust & environment

Though I cannot board, I will give each dog the love and attention that they are used to having when their parents are home. I love playing/throwing toys and balls, but snuggles are by far my favorite. I want to make sure your dog doesn’t even notice you’re gone so they (and you) can be relaxed as possible!

Information Joey D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any issues or special needs. I am more than happy to assist where I can or learn about ahead of time!

A typical day

We would go on walks, play in the yard or my personal favorite - going to the dog park. The best is Scioto Audubon! If they like tug of war or fetch, I am more than happy to play!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of neighbors or friends’ pets since I was a teenager and now have a Havanese, Raj, who joins me on jobs! I’ve managed care for young pups through those of age and don’t have any issues administering pill or liquid medicine. Because of COVID, I’m remotely working and though I cannot board at my home, I can stay throughout the workday and leave at night or fully housesit. I also Uber on the weekends and some weeknights, so let me know if that’s any issue! Whatever you’re more comfortable with, I’m more than happy to do!

Joey was wonderful! By far made me feel comfortable with leaving my sweet old lady for a few days! Will absolutely hire again. THANK YOU!

Joey was polite, professional, and communicated well. He took care of both of my cats and provided valuable peace of mind while I was out of town. I would definitely book his services again.

Joey was terrific! He took excellent care of my senior dog who needs some extra attention from time to time. Lots of updates and photos and was a great house sitter. Would highly recommend to anyone!
