Safety, trust & environment

Every dog and owner is different. I would give them the attention and love that they need, walk them as far as they want, and make sure to follow the rules that are in place.

Information Joseph R. would like to know about your pet

Dogs are just like people and are all different. Let me know about any conditions or special care your dog needs. I'm willing to accommodate and alter my usual routine to suit your dogs needs.

A typical day

I try to make sure dogs get all the physical stimulation that they need. I'll take some dogs on much longer walks or even runs. Going to parks and letting them explore the multitude of smells is another activity we'll do.

Pet care experience

We've always had pets in our family and I got my dog (a German Shepard mixed Labrador) 8 years ago. His name is Ace and I love him with all my heart. We go on 1.5 mile walks on average

Joseph stayed at our house for 3 nights. The dogs were well cared for and he sent updates once or twice a day. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my doggies

I paid Joseph for three overnight stays to watch my house and care for my pets. However, on the evening of what should have been his last overnight stay, my home security cameras showed him throwing his luggage in his car and driving away. The following morning, twelve hours later, when my cameras showed he still hadn't returned to my house, I texted him to ask what was going on and received a return text that he had a family matter and wasn't able to stay the final night. He clearly never intended to tell me he wasn't honoring the terms of our agreement, and made no attempt to get someone to cover for him or to provide a refund for not honoring his commitment. Joseph also made some mistakes you wouldn't expect from an experienced pet owner or petsitter, like feeding the cats directly from their canned food cans without realizing the risk of injury from sharp edges, mixing the dry and wet foods in the same dish, and never bringing in the mail, but those are minor issues compared to the lack of trustworthiness and integrity demonstrated by his leaving before his housesitting assignment was completed. I will not hire this petsitter again.

Joseph was trustworthy, kind, and communicated well. He took great care of our German Shepard mix girl for 5 days and sent pictures/videos daily. We’ve never used a house sitter before, so I was a bit nervous at first hiring a house sitter, but Joseph put all my worries to rest. Thank you Joseph!
