Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Family-like Pet Care!

Ever since I was seven years old, I've been a dedicated dog owner. I've had the joy of raising four wonderful dogs over the years. A goofy golden retriever, two affectionate American Staffordshire Terriers, and my current furry companion, an Alaskan Klee Kai. I've always been the go-to person for family and friends when it comes to caring for their pets. Whether it's walking, bathing, or training, I'm always there to help out. I believe in setting clear boundaries, but I also make sure there's plenty of time for fun, long walks, trips to the beach, and, of course, lots of belly rubs and ear scratches.

Astro was well cared for by Joseph. His communication was excellent. Joseph sent pictures of Astro going on walks with his dog Kiwi.

Joseph was amazing. He was extremely communicative before and during Larry’s stay with his family and sent us tons of photos. Larry had the best time

Dog Walking • Apr 07, 2025

Joseph did a fantastic job walking and taking care of my pup. My dog is selective with who he likes and how he reacts with people, but Joseph was able to accommodate all needs even if accidents were to arise. I appreciate all of his communication and his patiences with my pup.

Joseph was incredible. Very professional, communicative, and patient as my dog, Lou, was a bit nervous in a new environment. Joseph went above and beyond to make Lou comfortable, taking him in extra walks and even dealing with a few nervous accidents. I’m beyond thankful for his extremely calm and thoughtful care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced-in front yard and in walking distance to Lake Shore, where I take my dog. When taking care of your family, I will be sure to understand your preferences. I have a crate if needed, but I am happy to allow your pet on the bed, couch, or one of the three beds around the home. Additionally, if your pet plays well with other dogs, my pup will love it. She is very playful and loving!

Pets

A typical day

I love to go for long walks, hit up Montrose Beach, or take the dog for a run. I try to stay away from busy dog runs but will go when there are only a few dogs. I also have a big bucket of toys to play inside and a few treat puzzles that I like to use.

Please inform me about your pet's medical history, vaccination status, dietary needs, exercise requirements, grooming needs, or any behavioral issues. I want to understand what to look out for and what to do in case of emergencies. Other than that, I hope you like pictures because I would be happy to send you a few.
