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 was incredibly responsive and flexible. He played with my dog a ton and sent a bunch of pics. Will use again!
Joey was awesome and made our Roscoe feel right at home! He was extremely thoughtful and followed all instructions perfectly – even sending photos. We thoroughly recommend and will definitely use Joey again!
Joey was a great communicator and shared lots of photos. Daisy seemed really relaxed when we picked her up.
Joseph took great care of Rhi and was super communicative the whole time. Rhi loved her stay!
Joseph was excellent and took great care of our dog. He even went above and beyond and picked up after the dog when in our own backyard which was not something we asked of him. We look forward to working with Joseph again!
My dog is very comfortable with Joey, and I appreciated receiving regular updates and photographs from him. Highly recommended!

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.
