Remote Worker w/ Flexible Schedule

Pet care experience

I am reliable, responsible, with a flexible work schedule. I can work from your home, talk your pet outside, go for a walk and I know how to react in an emergency. I like transparency and I am happy to work in homes with nest or ring cameras so you know what I am doing with you pet. I am happy to do photo, FaceTime or video check-ins at your request. I DO NOT expect tips. We get to set our prices and tipping is not something I expect. Save that extra money for dog treats.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Joseph as our very first dog sitter! Leaving our dog Skye with someone new was not an easy decision—she’s extremely protective of me, not very social, and her size can be intimidating. But Joseph handled her with calm confidence and patience. To our surprise (and relief), she warmed up to him faster than we imagined. Once she connected with him, we knew we had found someone special—Skye doesn’t give her trust easily, but when she does, you’ve got a loyal friend. Even our shy cat Anona, who typically hides from strangers, came out every time Joseph was around. That alone spoke volumes. Joseph truly has a gift with animals, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. We’re absolutely happy to use him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents looking for someone they can trust

Joe took such great care of my cat! He was very communicative and easy to work with. I’ll definitely use him again to care for my Princess. Thank you Joe! 😊

So incredibly happy that we booked Joseph to watch our cats while we were away. They took to him immediately- and with cats, that can be a challenge. We had peace of mind knowing that our babies were taken care of. He was fantastic.
