Huge fenced in yard!
Pet care experience
Hello, I have been working and volunteering full time for over 10 years with dogs (and cats) of all breeds, sizes, and behaviors. I am in love with what I do. There isn't a day that goes by where a dog (or a cat) doesn't put a smile on my face. Doing this has finally made me realize what my purpose in life is. I am working on becoming certified in dog training as well. I have a good amount of expertise in helping owners out with their dogs if need be. I live at MM 95 and have a large fenced in yard and a pool (to keep your dogs cool on those super hot summer days.) It is guarded by my 10 lb super friendly, occasionally bossy shih-tzu named Zen. He loves giving tours of the place. I also live a block from a dog park. :)

Lilah had an amazing time at Joel's! He was so accommodating when we had to make a last minute change to her stay. Definitely recommend!
You know the sitter is great when your dog doesn't want to leave. Joel minded my two dogs daily for three days. One is 5 years old and terrier mix. She can be a brat but right from the start did well with the other dogs. When we picked them up she came thru the gate, said hi to me, and went back in! My other dog is 14 and a half years old with some health issues. Joel was great with both of them They came home happy, hungry and tired. Joel kept in touch with me during the day via text and messages which assured me my girls were in good hands. I hope Joel is here next year to mind my girls again! If I could, ten stars!!
Joel was a very good match for our pup. He had experience from volunteering with the human society and had a dog just like ours. She had a rest time and came home exhausted from playing so much. Would refer him to anyone.
I had never left my dog with a stranger before. Joel made me feel very comfortable about doing it. he took me around and showed me where my dog would be staying and introduced me to the other dogs. He sent lots of photos and updates throughout the weekend. Marie was very happy and healthy when I picked him up and it seems like he had a great time. When I returned to Key largo I will definitely be giving Joel my business again.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a escape proof fenced yard. My eyes are always on the dogs when they venture outside. They have access inside and out. Free to be themselves with safety and comfort and of course play.
Information Joel M. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds but they must be spayed and neutered and most importantly must be approved by my little shih-tzu Zen. He is the boss. :) Unfortunately I cannot take in German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Pitbull breeds. I will go to the owner's home and care for them but I can't bring them to mine. My dog has had a few bad experiences with those breeds and it's usually him that provokes them first.
A typical day
So many wonderful dog activities to choose, from chasing squirrels in the yard to lounging on the couch. Or lounging out by the pool, greeting the neighborhood dogs walking by. If the yard isn’t big enough for those speedy breeds I can bring them to the dog park right across the street and they can zoom around the field with other dogs. Let me just say that every dog I’ve had loves the park that they don’t want to leave. I also will spoil your dog with love (belly rubs and back massages) and treats. Besides the park we can go on nice walks. Gotta have the dogs smell every tree and blade of grass in the neighborhood.

It fits perfectly like a glove. Dog sitting is my life. The dogs are everything to me. This is what I was born to do.
