As a former teacher, Joseph understands the importance of genuine caregiving. Originally from Chicago, he considers his teaching years in Chicago’s public schools a valuable life experience, the tenets of which he still embodies today.
Since switching careers from teaching to pet care, he has worked with pets throughout the Portland metro area and continues to further his education in animal handling and behavior training.
Now, he leads the pack at PetSitter Portland, only hiring the best to join his team of pet care professionals. To ensure the highest-quality services, team members must pass certifications and thorough reference/background checks—and be equally paw-sionnate about animals!
