Pet care experience
In my time as a sitter, I’ve cared for a variety of pets with a variety of different needs, including older animals, pets with vision/hearing impairment, and pets with “quirkier” personalities. As a previous pet owner of two cats and two dogs, I recognize the level of care that I would want for *my* pets, and I am happy to provide that for you.
Reviews
Joseph gets in brisk walks with Moose and takes gorgeous phots that he shares with us every week. So glad we found him!
Joe was great watching our pups! We were gone for 2 weeks and we’ve never left our dogs for that long before, so we were nervous. Joe sent us a lot of updates and pictures and our house and dogs were well taken care of while we were gone.
Our regular cat sitter was unavailable, so we looked for someone else and found Joseph. Turned out great! He's reliable and detail oriented.
Joseph was friendly and punctual for several walks I needed help with.

Safety, trust & environment
My number one priority is the safety of your pet, whether walking, dropping in, or house sitting. I take pride in following any directions you might have and adapting to each pets’ unique needs. Beyond pets, I recognize that every owner is different, too. I’ve worked with a range of people, some more laid-back and some more particular about what they want. I’m willing to meet you (and your pet) where I need to.
Information Joseph S. would like to know about your pet
I have taken care of a wide range of pets with special needs, so please let me know if there’s anything I should know about your pet beforehand! Whether it is related to their health or personality, I want to make sure they’re in the best hands!
A typical day
I recognize that every dog is different and has unique needs! On walks, I do like to allow dogs to pause, sniff, and explore, as long as it’s safe to do so. Ideally, I prefer to walk dogs in low-traffic areas where it’s unlikely that they’ll get distracted by people or other pets. For home stays, I am happy to provide play time and plenty of attention!

Availability
As of now, I am working at home as an artist and available for walks from approximately 8am-6pm. House sitting is dependent on my schedule, which is relatively flexible.
