Pet care experience
Loving Care for Fluffy Hearts
For all 21 years of my life I have owned pets. 2 dogs and 4 cats is the count so far. There is nothing that brings me more joy, peace, and passion than taking care of, and simply being around animals of any kind. The animal experience I put in the bio is reflective of my personal experience. Professionally I have volunteered for 6 months at a therapeutic animal farm and was responsible for chores for all farm animals. I also had a month stint doing a more intensive Workaway program where I did similar chores with larger animals. I am hoping to become more serious as an animal sitter and caretaker, with this being my first step to get there. I have experience with my own pup taking him on walks, administering medication orally, light grooming (mostly brushing), feeding (willing to cook them meals), and any other tasks you may need I am always willing to learn. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend soon!

Ratings and reviews
Joseph took exceptional care of Bella and she appeared quite at home. We had photos and texts and she was well loved and cared for. We will be calling on him again. Thank you. 🐾🐾🐾
Joseph is singularly kind, communicative, and a great handler of animals. Takes direction and guidance on our dogs’ needs very well, and we trust him imminently with our pups.
Joseph did an amazing job with Brownie. She really clicked with him and seemed super energized and happy when I came to pick her up. Would definitely book with Joseph again!
Joseph was the perfect fit for Cooper, an active Lab Sheppard. I had no worries of leaving Cooper for 2 weeks and he was in wonderful shape and spirit upon my return !! I enjoyed seeing photos and updates. I will surely contact Joseph with any future needs.
So glad we found Joseph! We have two happy, energetic Golden Retrievers, and we were looking for someone to help with drop-ins on our long workdays. Joseph has been professional, friendly, and extremely communicative. When he met our dogs, it was clear how much he loves animals. We’re so happy we found him and will definitely use his services again!
We recently boarded our dog Rouie with Joe while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Joe took such wonderful care of Rouie and made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone. He was attentive, reliable, and went the extra mile by sending us pictures and updates so we could see how happy and comfortable Rouie was. It was clear that Rouie was in great hands and getting plenty of love and attention. We’re so grateful to Joe for treating our pup like family, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m currently working very part-time in a job that unexpectedly is not very reliable. I have plenty of downtime to take care of your pets and would only ever be gone for a few hours at a time if I was scheduled in for work. I am trying to make Rover a priority if I get frequent bookings here, so the animal will always come first. Unless specified through direct communication I am free during the week and weekends

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the service you officially decide I will include info about my own property as well: I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around in. There is a pool, so if your pet likes water, they can have at it! My dog lives between two homes, so if your pet is not good with other dogs he can always go to the other house and vice versa. I try to walk my dog every day when I am with him, and obviously maintain all the necessities such as food and always having water in his bowls. If there are any specific accommodations you need either at my house or yours I am always willing to consider options. Finally, if you feel like your pet does well with dogs and wants a friend to play with I am happy to bring him to your home for visits of any length.
