Pet care experience

Extremely experienced pet carer

I have looked after my own and others pets since I was a teenager (for over 2 decades) and have developed a gentle approach to animal care and training. I have successfully trained my Huskita from a nervous, 1 year old rescue to a confident, well behaved 12 year old dog. I am extensively experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walks and appreciate just how important they are to your dogs well being. I also understand that each dog is different and requires a tailored care experience, from the nervous and shy to the excitable and even aggressive.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own home and dog. I follow instructions carefully and will require a detailed chat leading up to the walking or sitting so you can provide any important and specific considerations for your pet. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and comfortable in their familiar space. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, giving a lot of affection, play and calm companionship. I’m mindful of routines, respectful of your home and committed to building trust with both you and your pet.

Joseph did a great job communicating his check-ins and made sure my cats were good! Definitely will be looking to book him again on my next trip!

Joe is awesome—very professional, a good communicator, and friendly. We have never not met Barley’s new dog walker which had us internally anxious, but Joe went above and beyond and we know our girl has found a new friend! Sends wonderful pictures, highly recommend booking with him!

Joseph was amazing. My wife and I were first time Rover users and found Joseph. He was able to accommodate us on short notice and took great care of our little one. We felt comfortable and assured while away for a long weekend because he sent updates and pictures of our boy and he was happy and well taken care of. 10/10 would ask him again for his help!

Joseph can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
We will have a meeting beforehand to discuss any important information. Specifically I am interested in any behavioural issues or specificities I should be aware of such as prey drive, food orientation or guarding, and reactions to human behaviour and body language. I am also interested in their likes and dislikes for other dogs, animals and people, specifically children. Finally we will cover feeding regime and any medications so we can have a good understanding of their medical needs so both you and I can be confident that your dog will be getting the best care possible.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
