Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun & exercise- fenced yard, runs
I have had dogs in the home all my life and am comfortable caring for any breed or age! My dog Watson is a 40 lb, 11 year old mixed breed who is about the friendliest guy you can imagine and would love to meet your pup. Although he has slowed down a bit in recent years, he is still quite active and we go for a couple walks a day. This is usually through the extensive trails that start right out of our front door. I also have a fenced-in yard behind the house in which the pups can run around chasing a ball or just lounge in the sun. I work from home and so I will be able to provide supervision of your dog at all times of the day. I do not crate my dog and don't require your dog to be crated if they are reasonably house-trained. Anything I can do to make your pup feel at home I think we can accommodate!

Ratings and reviews
Joe made us feel so comfortable, from start to finish! Our guys have never stayed with anyone but family, and they left Joe’s like they’d known him forever. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and plan on booking over and over again! Also, big shout out to Mr. Watson! He is the sweetest pup you will ever meet and welcomed new friends like they were part of his home. Thanks for everything, Joe and Watson!
Joe did great with our dogs. He took them overnight while we got to do some sightseeing passing through the city. They looked very comfortable just hanging out at his place. Thanks Joe
Joe is our trusted sitter. We are sad we’re moving soon after finding him! Thank you for caring for our pup!
Joe is incredible! This was my first time having someone else watch my dog and i couldn’t have asked for a better person to do just that. Joe clearly has a passion for animals and you can tell by how much care he puts into make sure they are comfortable in their new environment. i will absolutely be booking again and i’d highly recommend others do the same!
My dog had a great time! Will rebook in the future
Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again

Schedule
I work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule during the work day. I can easily accommodate multiple trips/walks outside during the day as needed and provide as much supervision as needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard although I don’t leave dogs outside unattended. I can easily separate dogs during feedings. I am happy to have a meet and greet with new clients to make sure all dogs (and people) are comfortable before the first stay.

A typical day
I can provide as many walks per day as needed. I live adjacent to a large forested park with many walking trails. I am also an avid runner and would love some company if your dog enjoys that, especially since Watson is a bit too old for it these days! Of course if your pup just wants to relax they are more than welcome to do that too! I have a large, fenced-in yard perfect for fetch or lazing in the sun. There is plenty of lounging space in the house too with dog beds in almost every room.

- No breed or age restrictions, just important to be aware that I have a 40lb (fixed) dog of my own. He is super friendly and sociable but if your dog doesn't like to be around other dogs we should discuss first. I could likely accommodate if they needed to be separated, but I'm pretty sure they'll get along! I will consult further with you to understand your pet's specific needs, preferences, and routines and ensure that they are safe, happy, and feel right at home during their stay!
