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.

This was Tyson's first time with Joaquin. We were a little nervous about leaving him with a new sitter, but quickly saw that he was in good hands. Joaquin was very responsive and kept us informed of all the fun that was happening. We'll definitely book him again.

Joaquin did a great job communicating and taking care of our boy. He was very timely and sent pictures and videos. Thank you for making our visit easy.

Joaquin was a great host! As a new dog mom I was very hesitant, but he provided updates throughout my dog’s stay and my dog had a ball playing with the other dogs. I will be rebooking in the future.

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.
