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.

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!
Left my 5-month-old puppy with Joel and she had an amazing time! Loved knowing she was being well taken care of and when we had a last minute scheduling change he was so easy to work with! We will be booking again for sure!
Kobe loves staying at Joel’s! Thanks for always taking great care of him when we’re away!
Joel took great care of Darwin! He sent several pictures and videos while we were away.
