I miss owning a dog.
Pet care experience
My family has had dogs ever since I can remember. I’ve helped my mother train many of our dogs throughout the years. I’ve personally owned a cat and have had birds and other animals when I was young. So if you have other animals I’ll be happy to check on them. Growing up my friends called my mother's dog training miracle work. My problem is that I live in a small apartment and it wouldn’t be fair to a dog if I owned one. I truly miss having, playing, walking my dogs. So, I figure this is the next best thing until I get a huge yard so I can own about 2 German Shepards and a few St.Bernards. some friends say that they are blown away by how dogs act around me. One of my favorite things is meeting a dog (especially one others might call mean) and in an hour, I'm it’s best friend. Or training a dog something that an owner has been trying for a long time and nailing it.
Reviews
Joe is a great dogsitter! He walked my dog everyday while I was out of town. My dog loves Joe and I feel so comfortable with him. Great guy, super friendly, loves dogs!
He has watched her enough that my dog recognizes him instantly and she gets excited! He is always on time and I trust my dog is well taken care of.
Joe came to our house and, from the time he stepped foot in the door, commanded the obedience of our dog. It was incredibly sweet and loving how he did it but the dog usually jumps on people when they walk in but Joe made sure that he told her no and then rewarded her with petting and positivity when she was down and then took it away when she went up again. He's incredible with the dog and they bonded immediately. Really appreciate how he treats her. Absolute professional.

Information Joseph M. would like to know about your pet
No preference of breed. Only thing I want to know is if you have any behavior issues with your pet. I’d love to work on them with the animal.
A typical day
Definitely around your neighborhood. Dogs have sensory skills we can’t even try to imagine. They want to see their surroundings. They’ve been smelling and hear what’s going on and now they want to see them. After getting to know your pet we will explore. Another reason I’m doing this is to get back in shape for my regular job. If it seems like your dog is a runner we will.
