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
Lloyd was excellet weekend sitter for our doodle, Jake. Lloyd was communicative, sent updates, and I would definitely use him again.
He was great, my foster enjoyed him
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.
Joseph did a great job of taking care of Blue! He was very responsible and kept me updated, Blue seemed to quickly get comfortable and enjoy his time with Joseph. Will definitely be boarding with him again!
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!
Joseph was kind and thoughtful and took great care of Buddy provided updates and even feed him additional food I forgot to pack. Recommended would book 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.
