Highlights
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!

Ratings and reviews
Joseph is fantastic. He is a really good communicator. We got updates about our dog in the middle of the visit on the first day. So it was nice to know if they settled in. I would book with him again.
Joseph is great! He’s communicative, reliable and most notably, wonderful with our energetic dog Toby. We’ll definitely be booking with him again.
Joseph did great with my sweet but reactive dog. He was very communicative, responding to my messages right away. Would hire again!
Joey was a great new sitter for our dog Murdock. He met us for an initial meet-and-greet, talked through Murdock's care, and provided regular updates of how our boy was settling in. It's a great comfort to us to know our often-anxious dog has a safe and comfortable place to be when we're away! Can't recommend Joey enough!
Joseph was very communicative and accommodating. Charlie had a great stay and I’d definitely recommend
Joseph was very nice and personable. I will definitely use his services again!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be fully present with your pet throughout the day, whether that means multiple walks, playtime, or just keeping them company on the couch.

Home characteristics
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.
