I’ve used a couple different dog sitters before and none have been as good as Joseph was he took tons of pictures and videos and had taken my dog out to the park multiple times she seemed very happy and comfortable while she was there

Joseph was amazing! Even though it was a last minute request late at night, he responded quickly and took such great care of my doggy! He also kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend him! 🐶❤

I waited outside for 30 minutes he didn’t answer my calls alt texts at all. I had to go the hospital because my grandma was on hospice care and he didn’t answer me at all. Do not book here terrible communication and a waste of time.

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine as I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, which makes things like dog walks or playtime with pets a natural part of my day. I also value creating a calm and structured environment, so caring for animals aligns well with my sense of responsibility and attention to detail. Whether it’s feeding schedules, grooming, or just spending quality time, I make sure to prioritize their needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I approach pet care with attentiveness and compassion, whether in my home or my client’s. In my home, I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable space, plenty of attention, and a safe environment to play and relax. I stick to feeding schedules, provide enrichment through toys and activities, and offer lots of affection to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences for their pets, maintaining their feeding, exercise, and care schedules as instructed. I make sure their home is left tidy and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and secure.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged with activities tailored to their personalities! For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, or exploring local parks. For cats, I keep them entertained with toys, laser pointers, and plenty of cuddle time (if they’re up for it!). I also make sure to provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys and interactive games to keep their minds sharp and happy.
