Pet care experience

Call me! A reliable dog walker :)

With me your pet(s) will be comfortable, entertained, and safe. My family had all kinds of animals from dogs to an iguana and chinchilla. I quickly branched out to take care of others in the neighborhood and enjoy making a living caring for precious animals and giving their owners peace of mind. I am fit and have experience with large breeds like Great Danes or Pyrenees, I also enjoy cuddling with a nice feline companion! Located on the border of Lilburn, Tucker, and Stone Mountain I’ve grown up in Georgia since I was in third grade and graduated from UGA with a bachelor’s degree. I have transportation to reach clients within my range and enjoy daily hikes around the trails at Stone Mountain Park as well as climbing to the top along the walk-up trail. Your pets will be loved and respected while in my care as if they were my own. If I enter your home I will leave it better than when I arrived. Currently I am accepting dog walking, in-home visit, and house sitting requests. My housing situation does not allow for me to board animals in my residence at this time. I will accept same day or last minute booking requests and strongly recommend a meet and greet to make sure I am a good fit for your pet(s) but they are not required. Over the course of my visit or overnight stay I am happy to provide photos and updates on how things are going and will stay in contact with you in case any sort of emergency arises. I am comfortable following instructions to provide your pet(s) with any necessary daily oral or topical medication and attending to whatever other specific needs your pet(s) may have. I am a college graduate from the University of Georgia with a flexible schedule including availability mornings, late nights, and holidays. Please feel free contact me anytime and I will work to accommodate your needs. I am passionate about animals and your pet(s) will receive top quality care under my supervision 😇

House Sitting • Feb 28, 2026

Joe did an excellent job dogsitting Sky. He was very attentive and kept in contact with me the entire day. He also sent me photos throughout his stay and let me know how Sky was doing each day. He’s a very caring and loving dog sitter who will treat your pet as his own.

Joe took amazing care of my animals! He is very attentive to what my furry loved ones need and made sure to check in and send multiple photos and updates while they were in his care. I would absolutely recommend him! He treats pets like family!

You can RELAX knowing Joe is caring for your pet! He's kind; dependable; passionate about animals; and has over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs, especially rescues! Joe (a "dog whisperer" in my opinion) is our go to guy, stays overnight if we need him and flexible when our plans change. Our dogs have always enjoyed his playful nature and we appreciate his attention to detail. Book him! You won't be disappointed.

Joe is a wonderful sitter! He has helped me many times with both small and XL dogs. Joe is very attentive and handles. I’ve recent situation carefully. He is also great with providing daily exercise appropriate to each dog/breed. In addition, he has administered medications as scheduled. I highly recommend him!

Joe is a wonderfully attentive and loving caretaker who loves each pet as his own. Joe has more than two decades worth of experience caring for animals of all kinds and those with special needs. Joe is very attentive, communicative, and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are cared for while your gone. He has experience with dogs of many sizes, including mine which are 100+ pounds, temperaments, ages, etc. He also has experience caring for senior pets who may have issues with mobility or need that extra level of care. Joe will always keep you informed with detailed updates and photos of your pets and will care for them as you would if you were home. Joe has a calm nature to him that pets gravitate to and my pets warmed up to him rather quickly and love him so much. Finally, Joe is incredibly flexible and can be booked last minute. He strives to ensure your pet is loved as you would love him if you were there and does everything possible to keep your mind at ease while your away. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a caring, loving, and thoughtful sitter with experience caring for a wide range of pets.
