Warning: Your pet WILL fall in love

Pet care experience

It sincerely brings me great joy working and being around animals, especially dogs & cats. I’ve had cats as pets for over 20 years, and having the privilege to engage with them has truly enriched my quality of life and has given me an even greater love for animals. I’ve cared for neighborhood and family dogs since I was a child, but I am finally taking care of my own pup for the past 4 years now. In addition to teaching my doggo love and patience, I am happy to say that I have taught her numerous tricks and crucial commands that a dog should know for safety and protection. I am an aspiring dog trainer, and I am confident that I can teach and influence your dog in encouraging ways!

Joseph is an amazing sitter. He spends quality time with my dog and really knows her personality. My dog gets so happy and excited when she realizes we’re going to his house! I so appreciate all the updates, photos, and videos he sends to me while I am away. I never worry about Estella when she is in his care and she always comes home exhausted and happy. He also works on commands with her while he’s watching her and I greatly appreciate the reinforcement.

Joseph did a terrific job with Benny! He was very involved and attentive to his needs, and constantly kept us updated on Benny throughout the week. He shared photos and videos of our pup having a great time and really put us at ease while we were away. Highly Recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by being mindful, engaging and active. Pets can get into chaotic behavior in a matter of seconds, so being observant and paying attention to their body language/needs has been a very useful practice to help avoid harm or stress to a pet. Most pets/dogs just crave attention and engagement, and that’s one thing that I love to provide for them.

Information Joseph G. would like to know about your pet

It’s beneficial to know if your dog gets along with other dogs, pets, or humans; so I can be extra mindful of those details whenever your animal is in my care. Also, if an animal has any specific triggers or out of the ordinary behaviors to be aware of. Another important detail to know is how you specifically reward or correct an animal with their “good/bad” behavior.

A typical day

With my own pup, a typical day consists of us taking long, adventurous walks, usually trying to take new routes for her to explore and to familiarize herself with an area (I do these activities with all the dogs I sit as well). She loves parks and anywhere she’d possibly run into a squirrel. Most dogs love running around and playing fetch, so throwing the ball around with them is one of my favorite activities. I also like to pamper dogs I care for with affectionate pets & cuddles when necessary. I also find it beneficial to reward dogs with treats and words of affirmations for good behavior, and for just existing!

My name is Joey and I am a part-time college student who is currently on a leave from work, leaving me with plenty of time to provide quality pet care for your beloved animal. I took a break from work for mental health reasons, but being around animals has always greatly helped me to get into a better headspace, thus why I enjoy doing Rover so much. My goal as an animal caregiver/lover is to provide the most exceptional quality time of my undivided and fully committed attention. Your furry companions are in paws-itively great and capable hands with me.
