Hello, my name is Joseph R. I sincerely enjoy being with and caring for animals. I've had pets all of my life and have worked for pet sitting services whenever available. I love bonding with a new animal and earning they're trust. I'm experienced in first aid and grooming care. I've had the great opportunity to hike 460 miles of the Appalachian Trail and enjoyed the company of my dog Maddy along the way. I'm proud to say Maddy is 16 years old now and still acts like a pup. I have cats and dogs that are part of my family and it seems like they are my children. They all love each other and even though they all have they're own beds, I frequently find them sleeping together. I think pet's make life a richer way of existence.
