Dog's Best Friend / Photographer

Pet care experience

Up until my move to Seattle in 2007, I was never without a dog in my life, and the only thing that has kept me dogless all these years has been my landlord's unwavering pet restrictions. Rover has helped fill this large, dog shaped hole in my life, as I am ultimately just here for some doggo time. I'm happy to walk, run and/or just play with your pup, no matter the breed, size, or age. Worth noting that I'm malleable and can be calm and patient if that better suits your pet's temperament. I can stop in prior to work, during the work day (depending on location), after work and / or do overnights, and I'm also comfortable administering medication, with a fair amount of experience managing complex daily pill regiments and also administering insulin shots. Along with regular check-ins, you can also expect to receive quality photos throughout my stay (unless instructed otherwise). I enjoy photographing animals and am always happy to share my work. It's also worth mentioning that I love cats just as much as dogs, so if a cat comes along with any house sitting requests then even better :-) If this sounds like it could work for you, I would love the opportunity to set up a meet and greet and hopefully spend some quality time with your furry friend(s)!

Outstanding! Joey has been our dog sitter for over two years now and we feel very lucky. We trust him with our pups and home 100%.

Joey was an excellent house and cat sitter while we were away for a week. One of our cats is both shy and needs medicine regularly, and Joey was both able to make him comfortable and give the medicine, while always giving us regular updates. His photos are the highlight of our day while we are traveling. We are very happy to have Joey watch our cats again.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to learn their routine during the meet and greet and use that to guide my stay with them. If they are accustom to sleeping on the bed, I am fine with that. If they are used to playing with a specific toy, I make sure to engage them.

Information Joseph "Joey" B. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing is any medications they may be on and any injuries or illness they may have. Aside from that, just what a typical day looks like for them.

A typical day

It depends on their usual routine. If they are into playing I will get down on the floor with them. If they prefer to relax around the house I do that with them. I'll make sure they get any exercise they need with play and walks.
