Joel looked after our 8 year old Cockapoo Wes through Trusted Housesitters in March of 2022. When we go away, Wes doesn't settle in kennels which makes finding a sitter difficult sometimes. But luckily Joel was great, very flexible arriving and departing around our flights and he sent plenty of pictures and videos so we knew Wes was okay! The house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very happy and well-fed boy. I couldn't reccomendd Joel more highly :)
