Pet care experience
Board w/ a Professional Dog Trainer
My name is Joaquin and I have over 12 years of pet care experience and 8 years of experience as a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviorist. Any breed, any age, any need - I'm your dog guy. My life basically revolves around pets, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! As a long-time Dog Trainer and life-long dog owner, I have a personal and professional love for dogs. I provide a safe, fun, and cozy environment, giving you peace of mind while your pup boards with me. When I say "any breed, any age, any need," I truly mean it. Whether your pup is a miniature or a giant breed, rowdy or shy, or even an antisocial or aggressive dog requiring extra one-on-one attention and patience, I’m equipped with space and knowledge to offer personalized boarding options tailored to their unique needs. I am home majority of the day to provide all the attention and care your pup needs. I have a large backyard for safe and secured free play. I am able to provide walks and other exercise options. If you are interested in professional training services, contact me. I offer one-on-one sessions and board and train packages. Want to set up a meet and greet? No problem! You may come to me or I can come to you. Last minute booking? I got you! Don't hesitate to reach out. Need flexibility? My life revolves around pet care, just let me know what you need.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We appreciate Joaquin’s efficiency and superb communication. Cotde enjoyed his stay and we are looking forward to already scheduled repeat bookings.
Joaquin really saved a trip for us with a last minute booking. He sent frequent updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind. Our Penny was well cared for and we would happily book with him again!
Joaquin took great care of our Leo!! He kept us updated with pictures and videos from throughout Leo’s stay. He always seemed happy and had lots of playtime and love! We will definitely be using him again in the future!!
Joaquin is such an amazing sitter! He watched my dog Antar and I got pics and updates on my boy every day! He is understanding and vary professional! I picked up my dog and he was smiling, wagging his tail and he smelled nice! Antar seemed like he had such a great time with a new friend and I highly recommend you book this sitter too!
Great service thank you for taking care of my babygirl
Honest & Fair I wanted to give an honest review of our dogs’ stay. While I appreciated receiving updates and a few photos during their time there, I was disappointed by some things when I picked them up. Jazabel’s bed was wet and smelled strongly of urine. I had supplied diapers for her to wear during her stay, so finding her bed in that condition left me wondering whether the diapers were being used as instructed and how often she was being checked. I also sent the exact amount of food needed for their stay, but had a noticeable amount of food returned. This made me question whether they were being fed according to the schedule and portions I provided. Dexter’s bed also looked as though it had never been slept in, so I’m unsure where he was sleeping during the stay. I received a few photos during their stay, which I appreciated, but they didn’t really give me the impression that the dogs were particularly happy, comfortable, or having much fun. I understand that every boarding experience is different, and I’m not expecting constant photos or a vacation for my dogs. However, when I leave my dogs with someone, I expect them to be comfortable, clean, appropriately fed, and cared for as they would be at home. Unfortunately, based on what I observed when they returned, I left feeling disappointed and uncertain about their overall experience. I hope this feedback is taken constructively and helps improve the experience for future dogs and their owners.

I am a full-time professional dog trainer and I am home the vast majority of the day unless I am doing consultations or one-on-one sessions.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard for supervised, secured and fun play. I will never leave your dog out unattended. At night, all dogs will be crated, unless there are extenuating accommodations that we agree on beforehand. Being that I've provided boarding services for so long, I am equipped to handle just about any accommodation - don't hesitate to ask.
Pets
A typical day
I provide a routine tailored to your dog's needs, that we will discuss in advance. For my high energy and/or social clients, I can provide walks, low/high impact play, solo play, and group play. For my shy dogs who prefer to be alone, we can simply relax with unlimited head rubs. We have plenty of toys and space.
