Availability
I work doing Uber and Lyft so I set my own work schedule and am never away from home for too long. I enjoy nothing more than putting on a podcast and taking a dog for a nice long walk.

It's simple, I treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat mine. I easily form connections with the dogs I take care of and sincerely care about their health and happiness. When we go on walks I give them plenty of time to sniff around and always take different routes so they get to see and smell new things. I don't get upset if they have an accident and have extensive experience working with elderly dogs.

Information Joseph H. would like to know about your pet
I have had enough experience with dogs that I can get along with almost any dog that I meet. But every dog is different and no one knows your dog better than you. So the more you tell me about them and the more specific directions you give me the happier everyone will be. If I'm taking your dog for a walk I'd like to specifically know how well they interact with other dogs, if there's anything there are afraid of (like loud noises or large vehicles) and if you have any preferred ways of dealing with common issues like your dog pulling on the leash or trying to interact with another dog in a bad way.
A typical day
I like to give pets a lot of variety. I know that they have physical, social, mental, and emotional needs. So I like to mix things up and make sure that all these needs are met throughout the day. I make sure my dog, and any dogs I'm watching long-term, have a chances every few days to interact with other dogs and get some socializing in. I like to go in different directions and take different routes when going on walks throughout the day so that they have plenty of things to sniff and interact with. I will let them "set the pace" for the first part of the walk so they get time to sniff lots of stuff and then towards the end will set a more brisk pace to make sure they get good exercise too.

Pet care experience
I live in a house that is waaay bigger than I need for just me and Lucy. It has a fairly long private driveway that puts the house back in a wooded area away from other houses and with tons of area for dogs to explore on our walks. My sweet doggo Lucy is gentle and affectionate and gets along well with other dogs, even reactive ones. Half the reason I dog sit is to give her friends to play with for a few days or weeks. I always prefer to meet with parents and pets ahead of time so you can check out my house and make sure I'm a good match for you and your furry loved ones. I've just always been good with animals and find it easy to understand their moods and forms of communication. I know how to be relaxed and let a dog play and have fun but I also know how to turn on the aura of command and bring them under control when needed. Read my reviews and then send me a message! I can provide further references/testimonials if you want them.
Reviews
Joseph was a great sitter for my dog Maisie.he sent me pictures of her chillin.
Joe is a great dog sitter and has a calm demeanor. You can feel safe knowing that your dog will be in great hands. I would definitely let Joe watch my dog again in the future.
Our little one was well cared for. We regularly received friendly updates, photos, and videos during her stay, she was walked daily, and she seemed to be happy and playful. Though our Tesla was timid at first, being unaccustomed to interacting with other dogs, their "Lucy" was patient and gentle, and they ended up playing and getting along well after the first day or two.
Huge thanks to Joe, Jess, and their sweetest dog Lucy for welcoming my pup into their home! I booked a longer stay, and they were super accommodating. Joe was very communicative and helped me feel at ease with his updates on Lark (this was my first time leaving her with someone other than family). I'd definitely book with Joe again!
