Joe has babysat for my furry "child" and is fantastic. Paislee really enjoyed him during an overnight trip. Paislee is a handful and a half - power chewer, very active, hyper and just plain crazy. However she is also very sensitive and smart. Joe came by several times to let her out, walked and exercised her and just gave her a lot of attention. She was very excited to see him and was surprisingly very playful and affectionate with him for a last minute overnight trip where she is used to not being away from me - he made her feel at home and she really liked him - not always the case with all men. She also had not chewed her 13+ bed in the overnight experience - so this is a huge win. Highly recommend Joe even if you have a handful like mine!
