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.

First time boarding my dog and ever using rover. Had an excellent time with the Joaquin taking care of my baby. Sending daily picture updates of her time there! We live in an apartment so I’m sure she loved his big backyard! Definitely will be taking her back to him!

This was the second time I had Joaquin keep my dog (and my sister's dog, too) and I am still very glad to have found him here on Rover. He will definitely be my go-to dog-sitter for anytime I need such service. Thanks again, Joaquin!

Joaquin was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone other than family, and he made the entire experience feel comfortable and reassuring. He took the time to walk us through the process, answered our questions, and kept us updated throughout with pictures and videos. It was such a relief knowing our pup was in great hands. I would recommend Joaquin to anyone and everyone, and I will 100% be booking with him again in the future!

We are very pleased with the exceptional care provided by Joaquin. We loved receiving daily pictures and video updates of our pet's integration into the sitter's care. This eased our anxiety tremendously knowing that our pet was being taken care of. Our pet returned home happy and seamlessly fell back into his normal routine. Joaquin provides excellent service... We will be returning! Thanks Joaquin!

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.
