I work remotely from home, so I’m always present to give fur babies my full, undivided attention. I take them out for potty breaks every two hours, make sure they get plenty of playtime, and of course, a few well-deserved treats along the way. I also make it a priority to keep fur parents at ease by sending regular daily updates, complete with photos and videos, so you always know your little one is happy, safe, and loved. 📸🐶✨

We strictly follow each owner’s instructions, including their preferred collar or harness, to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure. Our home is truly dog-friendly, with plenty of cozy lounging spots throughout the house and an abundance of toys from BarkBox and our favorite pet stores — there’s never a shortage of fun or comfort here! 🧸🐾

Information Joseph S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about their sensivity especially to food or such that we can be aware. Allergies, and any triggers such as food aggression or being territorial with toys. So we can provide more measures for safety and best top notch quality of care

A typical day

I’m an early riser and always happy to wake up for scheduled potty times, following each pup’s routine just as instructed. After that, I make sure their tummies are happily filled with their meals right on time. Their days are filled with fun and care — from playful tug sessions for mental stimulation, to walks around the property for fresh air and a little vitamin D (weather permitting). When it’s time to relax, there’s plenty of snuggling on the couch or bed. Throughout the day, I love sending pawrents photos and videos so you can see all the happy moments. And of course, with your permission, I’ll happily spoil them with a few well-earned treats. 🐶📸✨

Furbabies are my equals

Pet care experience

Hi Pawrents of little furkid and furbabies! 🐾 I’ve been a trusted Rover sitter since 2018, with experience in all aspects of pet care — from administering medications to meeting each fur baby’s unique needs with patience, love, and full attention. I work remotely, so your pets are never left alone and always have companionship throughout the day. In our home, pets are treated as family and equals. They’re welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — on the couch, on cozy dog beds, or even on the bed with us. They’ll also enjoy the fun, gentle company of our two mellow and playful Frenchies, Luffy and Zoro. Nieves and I are dedicated to making sure every fur baby in our care feels safe, cherished, and truly on cloud nine. 🐶✨

My cat, Henry, stayed with Joseph during the day. Joseph met me outside, helped me bring in my cats belongings, and supported in doing a soft transition for my cat so he was less stressed. He accommodated Henry by giving him his own room with a lot of different comfort items and a huge window to sunbathe in during his stay. Joseph communicated with me throughout my cats stay, sending updates, pictures, and videos! Joseph is also extremely down to earth and kind, and my cat said he gives great scratchies! Will definitely be booking with Joseph again!

Joseph was incredibly communicative and respectful of my Frenchie and his restrictions due to previous injuries. He sent photos and updates during his stay. It’s such a relief to know he was getting attentive care versus being dropped off into a flock at doggy daycare. I think it really helped to know there were other dogs for him to play and cuddle with. 10/10 would recommend.

Joseph was wonderful! There was good communication both before Bagel (my elderly beagle) checked in and after her stay. Joseph shared daily videos and photos of Bagel, who enjoyed lots of love and care (and some cheesy treats). I would highly recommend Joseph! This was Bagel’s first stay with Joseph but it won’t be her last! Thank you, Joseph!
