Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover & Caregiver

Hi, I'm Joey! Growing up, I was surrounded by pets - over 12 cats, a dog, frogs, tortoises, a rabbit, and much more! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've decided to dedicate real time and energy to pet care professionally, not just as a hobby. That's why I'm excited to spend time caring for your pets! I studied conservation biology and have worked with various animals in zoos and nature centers during internships earlier in my career, so I understand the importance of creating safe and enriching environments for animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just company, I'd be thrilled to help!

I have a 16 year old dog who had just had a hip injury when Joseph watched him. He was conscientious and understanding about the injury, including carrying the dog up and down stairs, He was diligent about medication and watching how much the dog ate. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about dogs. He did a great job taking care of an elderly dog with health problems and reassuring his owner. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Joey did a great job with Tova! His confidence with dogs gave us great comfort and peace of mind that Tova would have a great time and be safe! Highly recommend having your pup spend the day with him!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a small, fenced-in backyard, perfect for supervised outdoor play. While I share the home with roommates, I occupy the basement section alone, providing a quiet and private space for your pet to relax.

A typical day

A typical day is built around your pet’s routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. Mornings usually start with a walk or outdoor time, followed by feeding and some play or enrichment. Since I work remotely, I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s check-ins, cuddle time, or quick potty breaks. In the afternoon, I like to incorporate another walk or play session depending on your pet’s energy level. Evenings are more relaxed, with dinner, a final walk, and wind-down time so your pet feels settled and secure before bed. I also make sure to send regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing.

I want every stay to feel as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet, so the more I know upfront, the better! Please share any details about feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, or medications. It's also helpful to know about your pet's personality, whether they're shy with new people, reactive on leash, have a favorite toy, or anything that helps me understand how they communicate. Any quirks, fears, or things that make them feel at home are great to know. If your pet has any medical history I should be aware of, please flag it so I can be prepared.
