Joseph was great! I needed a last minute sitter while I attended a meeting, and Joseph kindly said he would have him for a few hours. Skye had a great time.

Friendly and great communication. Helped us out by taking our dog last minute. Asked great questions to make sure our dog had all of her needs met. Very pleased and hope to use Joseph again.
