Pet care experience
I love your dog more than you do!
I really love dogs. A lot. A major goal in my life is to love all people unconditionally. Luckily dogs pretty much already do that so I just follow their lead and treat them with the utmost respect they deserve ("God" is "Dog" spelled backwards, just saying!) Things that set me apart from other Rovers: - I was once a certified massage practitioner: When I pet your dog I theoretically could charge ~$100/hour! Your pup will always receive complimentary cuddles and positive reinforcement. It’s my pleasure to provide the utmost care and attention for however long you need - I've got a dog-friendly car: I’m Rochester-based but I’ll go anywhere to help out. If your furry friend has a favorite destination they like to visit I can take them on a field trip at your discretion - Is your dog a little skittish, anxious or aggressive? Or maybe suffering from separation anxiety? No need to be nervous about booking me. I take pride in assisting dogs with special needs and will gladly abide by your specific handling requests so as to improve their temperament. During a meet-and-greet we can discuss all details necessary to make sure they get the extra attention they deserve. It’s my goal for you to see behavior improvement and extra smiles when you reunite with your pup - I’ve completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course and am fully prepared to act fast and responsibly in case of emergency Excited to meet you and your puppers! - Joey
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m currently unable to house dogs in my home as per building pet policy but am happy to relocate to your place to house sit as necessary Please consider me for special requests and don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I don’t bite! (and hope your dog doesn’t either haha)
Ratings and reviews
Joey was great at taking care of our 100 lb dog Max and our three cats, Lily,Tui, and Smudge for a long weekend. Many wonderful pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to have him come take care of our pets again. Thanks Joey.

Joey took exceptional care of our dog Juno, while we were traveling. We got daily updates, best pics that put us at ease from day 1. We will 100% rebook Joey again for his services!
Joey did an amazing job caring for our fur babies! 10/10

Schedule
Hopefully I’m busy taking care of your pets all day, every day. When I walk your dog your best friend instantly becomes mine as well
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldJoey can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- It’s best that I know EXACTLY what your dog is like, their genuine self. That way I can determine if I’m the best fit for them. I don’t care if your dog poops diarrhea every single damn time, so long as you tell me and then I’ll bring baby wipes just in case. Or if your dog despises children: might be important for me to know Foo-Foo’s penchant for baby face gets stronger the more I accidentally allow toddlers to approach! I’m happy to help adjust your dogs behavior through positive reinforcement techniques and genuine “Uncle Joey” unconditional love but this would come at a greater cost than the listed walk/housesit rate. Although I may not be able to diagnose exactly what is going on with your aggressive/anxious/depressed/fearful pet I can try to pass along what I’ve learned and studied for the past 9+ years of taking care of dogs. Uncle Joey will let your dog do whatever it wants to do for the whole half/full hour walk. I spoil the shit outta them (literally, and I’ll even clean it up too!) What’s not to like?
