Pet care experience
I've been around dogs my whole life (my german shepherd was 16+ years old) and am always the first person who my friends think of when they need help with anything. For as long as I can remember, friends, family, and others have trusted me with taking care of their pets, whether it be staying at their place or mine and for just a quick walk or weeks-long stays. I can tailor any number of visits, of any duration, to best meet your pet's (and your) routine and needs. I can handle any size dog (and cats too!), including walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and environmental enrichment. I look forward to meeting you and arranging the ideal stay for you and your dog. Message me to get started!
Reviews
Joseph walked my two dogs and I highly recommend him. He is a natural with dogs and he is very reliable.
He was very attentive to our doggies and made sure they got lots of love. He was great with the dogs when they were on their walks. I’m always worried that our German Shepherd will drag people on the walk, but didn’t have to worry about that with Joseph.
Unlike some other walkers I've had in the past, Joseph is extremely responsible, professional and reliable. I always get a quick response time when I ask him to walk my Pepa, which causes me a lot less stress. My schedule changes frequently, and Joseph is so good about accommodating my last minute scheduling. Pepa really seems to like Joey as well: happy dog, happy owner.
My dogs have enjoyed the company of Joseph on many occasions, but I am just now finding the time to write a review. Joseph is fabulous with ornery old dogs, attuned and accommodating to their needs and a pleasure during communication. We feel quite comfortable leaving our four legged family members in his very capable care.
