Information J M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is crate-trained (and comfortable sleeping in a crate) or if he/she will require alternate sleeping arrangements. I have a variety of different crates (sizes and types) here or you are welcome to bring your own if that is preferred. Make sure to note if your dog has any food allergies, health or behavior concerns that I should be aware of.

A typical day

My home has an indoor dog training room full of toy and activity options. I have .5 acre backyard that is completely enclosed with a 6' privacy wood fence. There are tons of great walking areas to explore as well.

20+ years in dog training & care.

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
