This was the 3rd time Joe watched Rose. He boards multiple dogs at a time, and rose has a blast playing for days. We’ll use him again.

Jojo was excellent with our three full sized Australian Shepherds! He was very communicative, sending us frequent photos and videos of our dogs playing in the yard with other dogs from his doggy daycare! 🐕

Joseph is a nice person but doesn’t have experience with skittish dogs. Before booking and upon arrival, I’ve explained to him that my dog was skittish and it’ll take usually a day for him to warm up to you ( as stated in my pups profile). Joseph stated he has experience with them and he loves working with those types of dogs because he’s an athlete… Kane was going okay when I left. It took a few minutes for him to warm up to him just a tad but there were other dogs there so I think that’s what made my pup feel a little more at ease. When I left, Kane was okay. He was listening, he walked with him on the leash, he was OKAY. Unfortunately, I had to get my dog that following night because he wouldn’t get off the ground after being taken on an attempted 3 mile run at 10pm before a storm was rolling in. Turns out my dog had ripped three of this paw pads while being out there and was in pain. Why would you take a skittish dog out on a run at 10 pm on the first night? I have no idea. I booked with this person because his reviews were all positive and I do believe he makes a good dog sitter just not for skittish or timid dogs. I think he was focused more on my dogs bred and tried to met those exercises “needs” instead of actually getting to know my dog and build that relationship FIRST. I also only had two updates from the time I dropped him off (11am) to the time I picked him up (10pm)and the first update was because I texted first (1:40pm) and the last update was because my dog wouldn’t get off the ground from his “run”. I understand we all get frustrated when things don’t go how it was planned but you can’t be on the phone with me while actively being frustrated and trying to drag my dog when he is already scared and in pain. That doesn’t make the situation better for anybody.

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.
