Joey grew up in Eastern NC and, after living in Charlottesville, VA for a short time; now calls Raleigh home.
After working from home for a small publishing company for seventeen years, Joey took on a part-time job as a petsitter with a local pet sitting company to be around animals more and to add a little variety to his daily ho-hum schedule. His first day pet sitting he realized this was what he should have been doing all along! He decided right then to start his own company where he could be his own boss while doing what he loves best…looking after animals. Shortly after, All Critters Petcare came about.
Over the years he has cared for everything from reptiles to spiders to ferrets and parrots…and even a few cats and dogs along the way! He has a lifetime love for all animals and now shares his home with two cats, Abby and Betty and a python named Noodle.
Joey is a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) through Pet Sitters International (one of the few with this accreditation in the Raleigh area). This means he’s been trained for a broad range of petcare best practices. He regularly participates in ongoing training and classes and passes this info onto his staff.
He and his team are very much looking forward to taking care of your pets and giving them the best care possible.
