Testimonials

“I know my dog loves me, but I believe Joe is her favorite human. I’ve never seen her spin and jump and wag as much as she does when she sees him. With Joe, Finn gets a solid workout...but there’s always some time saved for squirrel watching, grass rolling, and pole sniffing. I’ve trusted him to take her for a few days and even weeks at a time, knowing that she would be cared for and watched with love and safety in mind. I trust him implicitly with my ‘first born.’ “
— Trinity, mom to Finn


‘It was love at first sniff for my dog, Abbi, when Joe came in to her life. Being an energetic lab mix living in the city, her runs with him are such a gift that help her appetite, nervous energy levels, deep sleep, and overall health. I know she is happier as a result. He made sure to understand everything from the commands that she was learning to any potential outside triggers before getting out there. Beyond the professionalism in handling dogs, his trustworthy and friendly nature will put your mind at ease.’

“Joe will treat your pup as though it were his own. My young mini Australian Shepherd, India, met Joe with quite a powerful fear of big city life, but it did not take long before she was striding confidently and quickly through the concrete jungle, barely phased by the bus horn or garbage truck booming over a pothole. If your pet has the pleasure of meeting and running with him, you can be sure they will return happier, healthier, and engaged. You can trust him as much as you can trust his knowledge of and manner in handling all sorts of breeds with various exercise needs.”

Joe has been running with my standard poodle for over two years and is by far the most reliable, professional, loving, and responsible person that I have ever entrusted with my beloved Georgie; taking her personality and preferences in to consideration during their runs. He knows which other dogs she’ll get along with, her tolerance levels given the day’s weather, and is very perceptive regrading any health or behavioral issues.

Last Fall, Joe was dog sitting/running when Georgie was attacked by a large aggressive dog that had broken loose from a pack walk. No one could get the dog to let go of her ear but Joe remained calm in the moment and remembered to pour out his water bottle in to the dog’s nose/mouth. They then went immediately to her vet and stayed with her all evening until I got home.

You and your dog will both benefit greatly from his individualized attentive service, and the service of any athlete’s he trusts to bring under his wing.

Joe is a true ‘dog whisperer’. He got our energetic pup to be well curbed and enjoy a good run. He is reliable and kind and our dog loves him madly. He was trust-worthy in our apartment. A pleasure!

After every run with Joe, my Bella returns so tired and happy! My girl is a handful and he is the only person who has truly tired her out. Such a gift, the wonderful piece of mind knowing that he’d be there to take her for a run while I was away at work.

Joe makes having a crazily active dog possible in an urban world. He takes her on great runs, dog sits when I have business travel and I reap the benefits of her unconditional love.
