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!

Destiny moved from her quaint hometown in Northern Cal to Portland two years ago, enticed by the beautiful nature, food scene and dog-friendly atmosphere. She has a passion for all things creative, the outdoors and fitness, but above all, animal welfare. Having grown up with a diverse array of pets, she learned many lessons in respect and compassion for all creatures.
Her experience and interests helped secure one of her first jobs at a local Humane Society. Upon moving to Portland, she found employment at a doggy daycare, learning about dog handling techniques, special needs pets, and animal behavior. Currently, Destiny is pursuing certification in personal training and is channeling her passion for animals & physical activity into her new role as Pet Care Specialist.
Janice is an unwavering animal enthusiast with a lifelong commitment to their well-being. Nurturing a special bond with several canine companions throughout the years, she was a dedicated volunteer dog walker at the Oregon Humane Society. Jan’s passion for service extended to Autism Service Dogs of America, where she volunteered for three years.
Having recently embarked on the journey of retirement, Jan finds fulfillment in nature, hiking and home improvement projects. Family remains the cornerstone of her life, with precious moments shared with her adult children and the delightful presence of her granddaughter.
