I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it.

Safety, trust & environment

You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.

Information Josef H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any medications they need or unusual behavior they have. Also, if they are friendly right away, or prefer to be approached slowly by strangers.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks or play with them in their yard with sticks, balls or playing tug of war. But if your pet prefers lots of pets, I am happy to just sit and relax with them as well.

Pet care experience

I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs.

He's great! Very responsible, and has adopted several elderly pups and given them the best retirements they could have wanted. He's very patient and gives the fur babies more love than they could ever ask for.

Josef is a wonderful companion for your pets while you are away and in need of a pet sitter! He had a German Shephard of his own that he took in at an old age so he could give that dog the best last few years he had left and that is exactly what he did. I got to see first hand how caring and loving he was to that dog no matter his limitations. He also is always so excited and caring when he visits my dog and any other time he comes across a dog outside. Highly would recommend him for someone looking for a pet sitter.

Josef is a caring pet parent, especially for elderly dogs. He has specifically adopted older dogs needing a home that will give them the care they need. Throughout his years of pet parenting, he ensures that his dogs are well taken care of and surrounded with love. If you have a dog of any age, Josef will ensure they are properly cared for and loved.
