Highlights
Pet care experience
Special Needs Dog Specialist
I have the rare combination of professional pet care training - including Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid, Fear Free, NAPPS, and PSI certifications - as well as a childhood in semi-rural Georgia that gave me a deeply-developed, intuitive connection with dogs and cats. During 2+ years on Rover, I’ve earned 100% 5-star ratings across 100+ overnight pet care bookings with 0 last-minute cancellations and, most importantly, a perfect safety record. While I enjoy providing professional overnight care for all dogs and cats, I specialize in providing care for anxious, senior, reactive, rescue, medically complex, and behaviorally sensitive pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My care approach is calm, organized, and based on industry best practices. I use professional care management software to ensure care instructions, medical & behavioral information, emergency details, and property details are organized and quickly accessible. Standard procedure is to proactively avoid people, other dogs, dog parks, busy streets, and other environmental risks unless you’ve explicitly stated otherwise.
Ratings and reviews
In every way, Joey ensured Bear was fully cared for. For example, he knew exactly how to build trust with a guarded guy like Bear. It seems intuitive to Joey, and I also know his care is backed by years of experience. He has a true interest in understanding the dogs experience. Bear will be happy to see him again soon!

Joey was a wonderful Dogsitter, my dogs responded very well to him and they were happy and relaxed when I got home. I received regular updates with photos and videos and felt like my dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend Joey.
Joey took wonderful care of our corgi, Faye, while we were away for the weekend. She was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home, which gave us great peace of mind. Joey kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent us adorable photos from their daily walks and adventures. It was a pleasure having him stay in our home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. We highly recommend Joey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Joey was so great for us and our dog! Great communication with lots of updates and videos. Huge relief to have her so well taken care of so we could enjoy some time away.
We count ourselves so lucky to have found Joseph! Not only was he incredibly responsive and thorough before we left, he provided numerous daily updates while we were gone so we knew our pup was enjoying himself and things were going well. Our recent rescue clearly adored him, and Joseph was incredible with him on walks (which can be a stressful/excitable time for our dog). He gave us some great recommendations for our dog based on his years of experience, which we could actively see working during his time here. And though this is definitely not a part of the job, our home was clearly so well taken care of while we were away - we were amazed. Anyways, we can’t recommend Joseph enough and he has new customers in us!!
