Fresh and friendly dog-whisperer!

Pet care experience

New-ish to NYC/Queens area, by way of Florida and Colorado. Dogs tend to love me. In fact, I have never met a dog I did not like and vice versa! Connecting with canines has always been a great skill of mine, ever since I can remember. Animals speak an energetic language, with which I can totally understand and communicate. I am experienced in watching multiple dogs, cats, fish, and birds all at once. My skills also include administering medication to dogs.

I’ve been waiting all day to put this here but I wanted to make sure my dog was home safe 1st. 1st of all its nobody’s responsibility to watch the dog but YOURS. I didn’t pay your roommate to watch my dog I paid you.if you were my roommate I would of told you off cause your the one getting paid . 2nd you asked me to pick up my dog a whole day early even tho I paid thru the 10th. You asking me to pick her up that day and trying to charge me more at the same time literally makes no sense. 3rd you need to look up the definition of Crate trained just because she barks doesn’t mean she’s not crate trained . You told us you would only be gone for one day , the way you made it sound with the whole roommate BS was that you work a full time job and had to miss some hours or they had to watch her more than you expected , which isn’t my problem like i stated I paid you not your roommates. 4th you say she destroyed your property she popped a medicine ball that fits my hand and looks like a ball to any dog and can easily be replaced by 5 below, you tried telling us the leash and that was 40 bucks any Walmart shopper knows that’s BS. But show me the receipt for the leash and collar and I’ll gladly pay u back for that . 5th quit saying she’s more than you expected , she’s a puppy we told you this in messages above and she’s a puppy with past so don’t act like we didn’t tell you. 6th you wanna get mad about your neighbors and the apartment well if your apartment knows there’s dogs in the apartment and the dogs not getting beat there’s no issue with animal control threats cause your doing nothing wrong . And finally to put a cherry on top for how Terrible of a sitter you are I walk in and your taking fat rips out of the bong smoking in front of my dog and you got her high to ik for a fact beucase she tried to fight my other dog just now which has never never happened so you put peoples lives in danger .you want more money take it up with rover you scam

Joseph was wonderful....prompt, caring and I'm sure if Kona could talk, she would give him rave reviews! Kona and our house were well taken care of.

Joseph was awesome, would definitely use again. He came over for a meet and greet first. House was very clean and pups were very happy! Thanks so much

Joseph did a great job of taking care of our babies on such short notice. He provided us with updates via the Rover app as well as pictures of our dogs hanging out. If I’m ever in town again, I’ll be sure to book with him again!

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to board any animals at my home. At my clients’ homes, of course I follow all house rules. I ensure nothing that could potentially be harmful to a pet is within their reach. No human food will be given to any pet, unless specifically requested by the client. Regular photo updates allow you to rest easy knowing that your furry friends are in good hands.

Information Joseph R. would like to know about your pet

Helpful information to know for the best care possible: - What training has your dog had, if any? - Is there any behavior you will not tolerate from you dog (such as climbing/jumping on furniture) - Typical food and walk schedules - Gets along well with other dogs? - Favorite activities? (playing fetch, tug-o-war, hiking?)

A typical day

I will take your dog(s) on long walks. We might end up at a local park, or I may even jog with your dog if they would be up for that. Also, come on! Who doesn't love a good game of fetch?!

Pet care is a priority for me in my daily and weekly routines. If I’m watching a pet or pets, their needs always come first. I will not take another job or leave the pets alone if it affects their meal and/or walk schedule in the slightest.
