Love being outside and going on walks throughout the day! I live across the street from a park, so we would run around there and in the grass! I am comfortable keeping the dog active throughout the week but also having down time to relax and give it personal attention.

Joseph was great! He was thorough in understanding what help my cats needed, and put up with my cat spitting his meds out like a moody teenager. I cannot thank him enough.

Joey was great with Rocky! Responsive. Able to accommodate our last minute travel plans. Sent videos & photos that showed Rocky having a great time. Would be comfortable leaving our dog with him again!

Couldn’t have had a better experience booking Joseph to care for my cat for a few days. Really kind, easygoing, and always kept me updated. Felt totally at ease the whole time.
