Pet care experience

I have a passion for all animals

I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! For pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

Joseph was wonderful! We gave him our rundown of our routine with Archie and he was very receptive and understanding. Joseph is knowledgable and great with our dog. We definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a reliable companion for their pet needs!

When my Honey Snookums and I first met Joseph, I couldn’t help but notice how knowledgeable he was about dogs and their habits. The energy he exuded was sincere, and he maintained great eye contact while we talked. Right away, I could tell he genuinely understood and cared about our pups. And let me tell you—our puppies can be a handful! We have three Staffies and a Chiweenie, and somehow, Joey won their trust. He did a GREAT job with all of them! And TRUST is incredibly important to me. If my dogs don’t trust you, I can’t allow myself to like you. But when my dogs trust you, I trust you—and I like you. And I definitely like Joey! He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our pups loved him, and that says everything. Plus, he’s got a really cool name—just like mine! 😂 Highly recommended. Joey is the real deal!

Joseph has been very reliable and punctual.and a big help with my pups. My pups get excited when he shows up to walk/ train them. He talks in soft,calm tone to them and offers them treats as they follow direction.. I highly recommend Joseph's services

Joseph took excellent care of our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier. He made sure their needs were met, especially our very anxious pup! We came home to a couple of happy, well-cared-for pups, and it’s clear Joseph treated them with kindness and attention. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will be booking him again in the near future.

Joey was an excellent dog walker! He was reliable, friendly, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Buddy came home happy, well-exercised, and excited after every walk. Joey was also great about communicating and giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. I'll definitely be booking with him again!

Please let me know if your dog requires any special needs such as diabetic/ epeleptic or have medical needs. Please provide information on if they are reactive and what the triggers are so that I can accommodate. It is also important to know if they get along with other dogs.
