Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, playful pup to keep your dog company while you are out of town. For boarding clients, I will only take dogs that are comfortable around other dogs (for your pups safety and my own!). For in-home care, I strive to do the best I can making your dog comfortable with me during our time together. I will maximize time during visits for play/walk/leisurely time outside depending on owners preference.

Information Joe S. would like to know about your pet

I typically like to leave the dogs out of their crates during the day when I am gone or at night. If your dog needs to be crated while I am not home please let me know ahead of time!

A typical day

During the day I love to let the dogs play out in the backyard with each other, and run along the fence line shared with the park behind my house.

Pet care experience

I love watching dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages! I have experience taking care of my own dog, as well as frequently boarding family and friends dogs at my house when they are out of town or for stop in visits.

Joe was great! He has a really nice yard for play and Bo loved his new friends. We were gone for 9 days but he came home so calm and restful, he typically is pretty anxious. We also appreciated there weren’t too many other dogs being boarded at the same time. We were lucky to find someone like Joe so close to our trip and the holiday after our first boarder backed out. We will definitely be using Joe again!

Joe took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a full week! Joe was communicative and responsive, and our dog came home happy and calm 😊
