Pawsitively Perfect Pet Care🦮🐩

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Joe and I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter with over 30 years of experience caring for animals. I am a proud father of two beautiful daughters and have been happily married since 2008. I currently have two dogs, Mia Fuzz and Rusty, as well as four cats named Max, Julian, Auggie, and Whinnie. As an animal lover, I understand how important it is to provide the best care for your furry friends. That's why I offer honest, trustworthy, and punctual services to ensure your pets are well taken care of. I am dedicated to providing your pets with the love and attention they deserve, whether it's a walk around the block or a play session in the park. I am located in Portage, but I am happy to travel throughout the Kalamazoo metro area to provide my services. If you're looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter or dog walker, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Joe (& Heather) were great! We contacted him very last minute when other plans fell through. Contacted him Saturday, they came out for a meet & greet Sunday & filled our care needs on Monday. We were very pleased that he had Heather come with him— we have Rottweiler/ Newfoundland crosses that weigh in at 130+ & 115+ and sometimes can be like trying to walk a freight train on a leash. Our female tends to be more reticent, especially towards men, but she immediately went right to him and both dogs were absolutely in love at first sight. Even my super skittish & shy old cat that hides from most people came out for them (it helped that it was here dinner time ?) We will definitely be calling on him again!!

I am a passionate animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have two welcoming dogs and four wonderful cats who are all treated like family members. I understand how important it is to provide loving care for your pets, which is why I offer a range of services to ensure your furry friends are happy and healthy. I have a fenced-in backyard and plenty of walking trails and sidewalks that I use for walking the dogs. I believe that exercise and playtime are essential for dogs to maintain their physical and mental health, so I always make sure to provide plenty of opportunities for your pets to run, jump, and play. Additionally, I am able to crate someone's dog if needed, providing a safe and comfortable space for them to rest. I understand that some dogs require special care, which is why I am able to administer medicines and provide basic grooming such as bathing. I am committed to providing the best care for your pets and will always go above and beyond to ensure they are happy and healthy. If you're looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter or dog walker, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Information Joseph H. would like to know about your pet

Before booking I would love to know any and all medical conditions your animal may have. Your animals temperament and normal behavior. Last but not least any feeding schedule or instructions I should know.

A typical day

You can expect your furry friend to have a fun and safe experience. Your dog will be supervised at all times and will have plenty of opportunities to socialize and play with other dogs. I live directly next to the Portage bikeway so walks are a daily thing for both of my dogs and any fury friends they may have visiting. We also occasionally visit some of nature preserves located around the Kalamazoo/Portage area. I take the safety and well-being of your dog seriously, so you can trust that they will be in good hands.
