Pet care experience
For the past few years, I've worked from home, so I've made myself available to all of my friends to look after their pets. I've loved doing this so much, but, I've recently moved to the island and it's harder for me to be around all of my pet nieces and nephews. My partner has been on Rover for quite a while and she loves it, so I decided to join. I'm very good with all animals. Some of my friends pets are very large, like Buckley, the massive Burmese Mountain puppy, or Chompsky, the rambunctious Boxer/Mastiff and some were small, like old Gretsch the Chihuaha and some were cats. I'm always the guy with the camera, so I have very few photos of myself... Luckily the only selfies I take are with animals, so, there are some of me with pets. My friends and family also really love the photos I take of animals, so I've included some of the closeup shots I take. If you want some really good closeup shots of your furry friend, I'd be happy to take some. Thanks, Joel.
Reviews
I have known Joey for more than 20 years and not only is he incredible with animals, he's also an exceptional human being. Over the last few years, Joey has taken care of our Bernese Mountain Dog Buckley, and by the time we get home, Buckley is incredibly sad to see his Uncle Joey leave. We highly recommend Joey to look after your pets. They will be in great hands.
My sweet little Gretsch passed away last fall at the ripe old age of nearly 19, but if she were still around I would not hesitate to have Joey look after her, as he did many times throughout her long life. Joey is a kind and responsible person who I would trust with looking after any animal or human that I love!
About Joey J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very attuned to the emotions of pets and I’ll also follow any instructions you leave me very closely. I know that all pets are different and need different attention and care.
Information Joey J. would like to know about your pet
It’s good to know about any allergies, whether it’s ok if I give a little leftover meat if I cook (I know, no spices), whether there are any aggressive behaviours on leash or towards people, children or other dogs.
A typical day
I love to go for long walks, throw a ball, play in a dog park or even just spend some time playing with toys at home.
Services
Joey can watch in your home
Availability
I work from my computer, so pet sitting can easily work into my schedule. Also, since I do work from my computer I really benefit from getting out and having a walk and walks are much better with animals.
