Pet care experience

Full time dog sitter

Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly love having their playful, loving energy in my home. I have a friendly 2-year-old pup, Renni, who has never met a dog she didn’t become best friends with, so every visiting pup has a built-in playmate. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, walks, and even trips to the dog park right outside my door. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work from the office during the day, so please keep that in mind if your pet requires constant daytime care. Pets staying with me on those days should be comfortable spending a few hours on their own before I return home to give them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they're at their home away from home!

Couldn’t have asked for a better Rover! Joe was literally perfect and sent daily photo updates which put us right at ease being out of town

Joe is the most trustworthy and warm hearted person I know! He has been watching my dog for about a year now and is very reliable and sends lots of pictures. I can count on one hand the amount of people I trust with my dog and he is at the top. Highly recommend!

Joe was amazing with my pet! He was super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Joe sent updates and photos, which made the whole experience even better. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Schedule

My schedule allows me to provide lots of quality time with the pets in my care. In addition to weekends, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making the span of Friday to Monday perfect for dogs who enjoy extra companionship, frequent potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work from the office during the day, so pets staying with me should be comfortable spending a few hours on their own before I return home for walks, playtime, and cuddles. No matter the day, I'll do my best to stick to your dog's usual routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog park directly outside my building that I take my dog to several times a day! If dog parks aren’t the right fit, I also have a great neighborhood walking trail to stretch our legs. My dog sleeps in the crate some nights and on her bed in the living room other nights so however your dog is comfortable, I can accommodate!
