Pet care experience

Caring for Pets who care for Us.

I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old starting with our first family pets. From there is grew to a passion for helping friends, families and others in need of care. From simply walking and playing to bathing and training. I feel I possess the ability to connect with pets just like they seek to connect with us. Their love is unconditional for us, they deserve the same in return!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to start with a comfortable greeting to pets showing that I am not a threat to them or their home. I prefer to sit down at the level of pets to not be perceived as dominant. Soft gentle hands to allow the pets to come to me at their own comfortable speed. I love hugs and belly rubs, so finding or knowing that special area helps to break the barrier. The more outside time the better! Letting pets know that I am there for them is my goal, and anyway I can make them feel secure and loved is my goal. I prefer to mold myself into a unique person for each pets needs.

Joseph is a gentle and caring animal lover. He has experience with many different breeds of dogs and is the proud human dad of his current fur baby, a brindle rescue named Lucy. He has a wonderful relationship with my 2 rescues. I highly recommend Joseph for all your pet care needs!

Majority of the weekdays I am free after 8:30am until 3pm (school pick up) but can easily work in pet care for the later afternoon and into the early evening hours. I also have some availability in the later evenings with advanced notice and within a closer radius to home.

If your pet has anything special they are used to, please let me know. My goal is make them feel comfortable and trust that they can count on me just as they count on you (their human provider). I care for all breeds and ages, and have experience in from training and helping a puppy grow to caring for a senior pet in their final moments before they leave this life.
