Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious two bedroom apartment with one flight of stairs and a nice balcony/patio for bird watching and sun bathing. When Kiko is here, we go on at least 3 walks a day, weather permitting, and make regular trips to various dog parks to see his friends throughout the week. When he’s not, we’ll still walk a lot but maybe fewer dog park visits unless that’s your dog’s thing too. If the cheapest sitter you can find is what you’re looking for, I’m not your person. However, under my watch, your dog will be safe, extremely well cared for, and loved like they are my own. Your dog will get the same care if I’m at your place and I share custody of Kiko, so his presence is not always guaranteed.

Information Josef C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific requirements we need to plan around. Also, what would make their stay extra comfortable or enjoyable?

A typical day

Kiko and I live in a very walkable and dog friendly neighborhood. We go on several walks a day, visit our neighborhood dog friends at our local dog park, and stop in regularly, after work, for a pint at our favorite local brewery.

Lifetime dog lover and caretaker.

Pet care experience

My 3.5 y/o corgi, Kiko, would tell you I love all dogs, almost too much. For the last 13+ years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be responsible for at least 1, and most of the time 2 dogs of my own. While I have no formal training or certifications , I’m great with puppies still learning a routine, senior dogs who need a strict routine and everyone in between. I’m a very calm human so even nervous dogs are comfortable with me.

Jo took great care of Luna over the July 4th weekend. She was initially anxious to be left (she always is) but Jo took her for a walk to put her at ease and helped her settle in. She was in happy and good spirits when I picked her up. We loved getting the pictures and updates! We will book with Jo again!

Joe is a long time pet lover and caregiver. His experience is immediately noticeable, and he is genuine and character. Anyone looking to have their pet cared for in a manner no less provided by themselves would be astonished by the level he facilitates. Great communication and engagement as well.

Joe is absolutely fantastic with pups—patient, gentle, and genuinely tuned in to what each dog needs. He creates a calm, happy environment that even the shyest pups seem to trust instantly. You can tell he truly loves animals, and dogs light up around him. Anyone looking for someone reliable and caring with their furry friend would be lucky to have Joe.
