Highlights
Pet care experience
20+ years in dog training & care.
I've worked with dogs for over 20 years in multiple boarding kennels, shelters, and rescues and as an animal control officer for St. Louis city. In addition to professional pet dog training, I also compete, train and decoy for multiple protection sports and police K9s. I am self-employed so I am able to work my schedule around your dog's needs. I pay close attention to detail, your dog's health and well being is my top priority. If your dog is staying at my home, my yard is completely fenced in with a six foot privacy fence and set up for dogs to run and play. I have a small wading pool for those hot summer days and an indoor area that is turfed and padded for when it's raining or snowy. And for my walking or adventure clients, I live a few blocks away from Des Peres park as well as a few other incredible trails that your dog(s) will love.

Ratings and reviews
J was a great fit for my dog. His property is well-suited for any size dog to get plenty of exercise. J was very responsive whenever I would reach out to check in. I could tell my dog was well cared for while I was out of town for almost two weeks. I highly recommend J. And I will be requesting him anytime I need my dog taken care of in the future.

Will book again!

We’ve been using the same sitter for Bentley and couldn’t be happier! It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands every time. Bentley always comes home happy and well cared for — you can tell he’s truly loved during his stays. We keep coming back because the consistency and trust are unmatched. Highly recommend!

Joel was great! He took great care of our puppy while we were gone on our first trip. We would love to use him again.
Had a great experience boarding Bentley here! He had a blast and came home happy. Communication was smooth, and it was clear he was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!

Great experience. Good communication, professional, I knew my dogs was in good hands!
