Pet care experience
I was born and raised with German Shepherds growing up. I love dogs. I haven't found a dog yet that didn't like me. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. While the dogs are at my home, they will not be caged, they will be free to run around the house and let me know when they need to go out as well. Most will let me know if they want to go out to play too. They may be tired when you come to pick them up from my place or even if I sit at your home. Please provide dog food and a crate (If Needed) for your dog. I don't have any breed or size restrictions but do ask they be up to date on vaccines AND flea/tick prevention. I'd like to know of any medical conditions, food sensitivities, and any little traits they may have such as being an escape artist, loving to chew, etc. Feel free to share their favorite things to do so I can make their stay as enjoyable as possible! *************** I'm Fully COVID Vaccinated since 4-20-21. *************** Boosted on 12-03-21 & 12-6-22 **** I can also keep multiple dogs from the same family. **** I usually only take one family at a time, I do not book more than one family unless there is a day/hour overlap between bookings. Updates: 01/15/18 - I do work now. So I will be away for about 8 hours M-F. 08/01/21 - I have security cameras now that you can log into to see me playing with your dog during their stay. No extra costs for this feature. I have a fenced backyard. I take care of your dog as part of my family. They are inside with me and outside to play and go potty. They roam around the house just as I do. I take care of them throughout the day. Feed them as you recommend. I take them out often to play unless I see they get too tired, etc. I always look out for the dogs. I have always updated owners if the dogs ever get hurt and keep an eye out for their health and safety.
Reviews
Joel was great with both my pups. He is a great communicator and shared many pictures of my pups, which made me feel at ease. One of my pups is very shy, but he quickly warmed up to Joel. They came home happy and tired. I would use Joel again to care for my pups.
Joel was amazing and accommodating for our last minute booking. He genuinely cares for dogs. Our trip out of town was taking longer than we expected and he offered to keep the dogs overnight. He was extremely helpful and provided exercise and play time for our puppy. He has a nice yard my dogs enjoyed their stay.
Joel was awesome! Incredibly communicative and attentive to our skittish rescue pups. They are shy with new people and have had a lot going on with the holidays so we’re extra temperamental. He was so sweet to them and took great care and kindness towards them. We would absolutely use Joel again!
Joel was very communicative and provide updates regularly! He also took time to connect with Kerry throughout the visit so that she’ll be more comfortable with him.
