Pet care experience

Ecology Grad, Animal Lover

As a trained ecologist and experienced animal caretaker, I bring professional-level attention and compassion to every pet I work with. My background includes hands-on care for mammals, reptiles, and marine animals, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior and health. I spend much of my free time hiking and exploring the outdoors, so I’m especially attentive to active dogs who thrive on long walks and enrichment. I’m also a dedicated reptile owner, comfortable with specialized husbandry needs and detailed care routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, scaled, or furry, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to their individual personality.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will carefully follow any instructions left by their owner. As an owner of a pit bull with separation anxiety, I understand the stress some pets feel when their owners are away for extended periods of time, so I will do my best to follow any instructions left by owners to ensure their pets adhere to their daily schedule. I also STRONGLY believe in keeping dogs leashed at all times while on a walk.

I highly recommend Joseph for dog walking and pet sitting services. He’s had a love for animals since a very young age, and that love has only grown stronger over the years. He has always treated our pets as members of the family, giving them patience, kindness and genuine affection. He has hands on experience working with animals in professional settings, and his background gives him a strong understanding of animal behavior, health and safety. He’s dependable, responsible, and truly kindhearted. Most importantly, he will care for your pets as if they were his own.

Joseph has been a lover of animals since he was a small child. We have had animals , his own and family pets. From dogs to snakes and everything in between. He has sitted many of our family friends dogs over the past 10 years. He is a responsible, intelligent young man that went to university to pursue his biology under grad and his masters in Ecology to better serve the animal kingdom and the environment at large !

I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. I appreciate any descriptions of your dog(s) behaviors, for example, how they behave around other dogs, especially on walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
