Information Joseph M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your routine is for your pet. I would like to match it as close to possible. Routines are very important for animals. Also any meds that are required and their likes and dislikes.

A typical day

Playing fetch in an enclosed area. Hiking while leashed on trails. Providing mental stimulation along with physical activity I find works best for a Happy dog.

Joe has been watching our golden retriever for years, and she’s always so excited to see him. She loves when he comes to take care of her and gets even more excited when she stays at his house. His love and passion for dogs is so clear. He keeps her exercised, clean, and happy every time. We highly recommend Joe and always feel completely at ease leaving for a trip knowing she’s in great hands.
