Joe's X-Large dog boarding

I'm Joe and I've been caring for dogs and farm animals all my life. My wife and I have a 3 acre farm at the edge of Goodyear and Buckeye and we board dogs in addition to our farm. My home and yard can accommodate dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have an X-Large yard and love X-Large dogs. **Read my reviews to hear what our customers think about us** About our home, it is mostly tile so we can easily clean up any potty accidents. I block off the one carpeted room with a baby gate but other then that the dogs have free range of the house and the yard. The outer fence is a combination of cinder block and wood panels. The 3 acre yard has multiple fenced areas in case some dogs are not dog social and prefer alone time. I do not crate of crate dogs but if yours is used to sleeping in its cage, we suggest you bring it so it will be most comfortable. I find out from each family what their dog routine is at home so we can do our best to mimic the same routine so they are comfortable. If your dog has any special needs, please let me know so we can figure out how best to accommodate them. I am partially retired and when I do go into the office, it is 15 minutes from home. My wife also works 15 minutes away from the house. There are periods where dogs are unsupervised. As mentioned above, dogs have all tile in the house in case there is an accident, or else they may be outside if weather permits with access to our covered, enclosed porch which is cooled by a swamp cooler. Lastly, I also have farm animals and they are in a secure area with 6 foot chain link fencing. Your dogs will not have access into that area but many of our dog guests enjoy watching the chickens and cows through the fence. ***If your dog is not current on shots, we can offer to assist in low cost vaccine options. Annual Shot (DHPP 9-in-1) is about $13 and Bordetella (kennel cough) is about $8. We want all dogs current on shots at our home.****

Joe's family takes such good care of Winston when I have to go out of town. He loves to play and needs lot of exercise. Joe's yard is huge and he sends me a lot of pictures while Winnie is with him. Winston comes home happy and exhausted every time. Winston needs to take pills twice and day and I like that Joe is able to give medication too. I recommend Joe to all my friends.

Would not recommend. I went on vacation to Colorado. There was a snow storm. So driving took longer due to the weather conditions. I kept the host up to date with everything. They were even okay with me showing up later. I got to the hosts house and he told me, “If you were 5 more minutes late, your dogs would have been tied up to the light post out front.” I wouldn’t trust these people. They wouldn’t work with you if you had an emergency, weather condition, or god forbid a car accident. They’d just leave you pets there to die. They were also very worried about me paying and leaving my animals there and never coming back when I did the meet & greet. Very strange....why would I pay hundreds of dollars to leave my pets there forever? Should have seen the red flag at the beginning. Thankfully I only did a short stay and not a week long one. Beware.

Loving people who take time to care for your dog as if it was their own. I was very pleased with my dogs stay, being my puppy’s first time around other dogs and new environment they had so much patience and compassion for her. Happy dog mom!

My dogs seemed like they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They came home super exhausted. Joe was quick with replying and his home/ land is exactly how it’s described

Only place my dog stays when I am away. Great 3 acres where he plays all day. I love Joe and Kate.
