Information Joseph M. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences, but I would like to know how your dog plays with others. What's their play style? Do they enjoy other dogs? Should I look out for anything while they are playing with Maxx?

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood, trips to Petsmart, and fetch time at our local dog parks are on tap with me as your Rover go-to guy!

Pet care experience

I spend most of time time at home, writing, and playing with my 4yr old Aussie mix, Maxx, who loves to meet and show new friends around. We live in an a community with two leash-free dog parks and a dog walk/hiking trail. Please know your furry friends will be given lots of love, a reasonable amount of healthy treats, and, if you'd like, walks and play time outside. We can also arrange an outing to a local Dog Park or Petsmart. Please advise upon booking. I am an independent and insured dog care giver with informal experience with family, friends, and colleagues since 2009 in Lexington, KY and Santa Barbara, CA. References are available upon request.

Joseph has been absolutely fantastic. He spent lots of extra time with our cat Buddy and sent great photos and descriptions of how he’s doing. I would highly recommend Joseph for all your pet needs!
