Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!

Our normally anxious dog loved Joe! I honestly think maybe my dog prefers Joe over me. He was responsive and punctual. Couldn't ask for more! Would love to have him help us again!

Joseph took great care of my Mastiff while I was away. I came home to a happy dig and a clean house! Thanks Joseph.

Joseph was great for our two furry friends! They both seem very happy and calm with him around. I felt secure with Joseph taking care of them and taking great care of our home. There were no problems with their food or play time. We will definitely be booking him again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm a firm believer in playtime, and try to be as attentive as possible to the animals' signals. Their owners being gone can make them stressed and sad, so I try to give them as much attention and company as I can to make up for it!

A typical day

I'm a big fan of jogging, and a lot of the dogs I take care of are too! I believe in lots of my playtime and exercise, which means letting dogs sniff and frolick to their hearts' content on walks and then seeing what their favorite toy is when they get antsy at home!
