Availability

As a teacher, my summers are very flexible. I’m working on curriculum and some professional development hours this summer, but most of these trends can be moved around on the schedule and aren’t time sensitive. During the school year, I’ll only be available some weekends and sporadically in the evenings. Daily I take care of my own dog with a walk and meal before heading out for the day, the returning for Some play time with toys/puzzles and just family time in the living room together.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. I love taking my dog on walks and playing fetch, but he’s getting older and I often have more energy than he does. Good behavior should be reinforced, with praise, pets, and treats (when appropriate for their diet). When caring for cats, I find care to vary much more depending on disposition, and I’ll rely on care instructions left for me.

Information Joseph B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what makes your dog unique so that I can provide the highest possible care. Want are things they like/don’t like? Which is their favorite toy/game? Are they motivated by praise, pets, or treats most? Are there any command words you’re working on that I should be aware of?

A typical day

Every dog is unique in how it loves to play. I love to play fetch, run in a yard with, or take them on a walk.

Pet care experience

I have pet sat for friends and family during summers since I was in middle school, and my wife and I have fostered dogs and cats from KC pet project. I’m a full time Highschool math teacher. I started working with Rover summer of 2022 to get to work during the summers on something I’m as passionate about during the rest of the year. I originally planned on it just being a summer job, but have loved getting to make new furry friends!

Joseph did a great job coming in and feeding Simon. He even sent a picture so we could see he was doing ok.

Our Hazel loved Joseph! He was attentive, and such a great help to us getting her out of our travel trailer for breaks during our time away. We were grateful for the updates and pictures as well! Thank you Joseph!
