All animals need love and attention

Pet care experience

Ever since I started walking and boarding dogs fall of 2017, it has felt like a hole in my heart has been filled. I’ve never owned a dog, and still don’t, so being able to hang out with pups brings a smile to my face every day. As a certified Associate Safety Professional, safety is always a top priority when I’m watching any dog, cat, or critter. When we go for walks, they are always on a leash and if I see another dog, we cross the street to avoid any potential incidents. I like to play a little fetch inside, when appropriate, and always love to cuddle with any pup. I find I have a certain calm, yet assertive energy with most pets, which helps them to behave while they’re at my house or on a walk. I’ll let them sleep and hang out almost anywhere in my house (furniture, bed, etc.) but respect owners requests and will not encourage it if they aren’t allowed to at home. Although I live in a row house, there are some great green spaces nearby, which we typically hit on our walks. I have a deep love and respect for animals, and promise to treat your pet(s) with the utmost kindness.

Joseph provided excellent care while I was away. The communication was great and I received plenty of updates. I have no doubt Milo received more than enough love, walks, and cuddles. I would definitely trust Joseph to care for him again.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always a top priority to me. In my house, when I need to leave, I have a medium-size crate which works for most pups. Regardless we usually do 4 30-min walks per day, unless directed otherwise, and no one is left alone for too long. Walks come with a report, log, and pictures. When visiting clients’ homes, I am respectful and mind my business. Will bring in mail/packages and set out trash at no extra cost.

Information Joseph H. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedule and amount? Any triggers or trauma? Aggression related to food or toys? What makes them happy/best spot to pet? What calms them down if need be?

A typical day

Wake up around 8/9am and do a walk before breakfast. Cuddle a bit and, after food has settled, maybe play a little bit(Not uncommon for pups to refrain from eating at the start of stays). If I have to leave at any time, pups are crated if necessary, otherwise we hang out and nap until our midday, dinner, and bedtime walks. Most walks involve a long grassy strip, perfect for pups who prefer going there, and practice sitting at intersections.
