Trainer of Mans Best Friend!

Pet care experience

COVID-19 UPDATE - As of April 1st, 2020, I have decided to continue to take pets whom are in dire need. I know our global climate has changed drastically and I know many of you aare not traveling during this time, but have beloved pets still at home while you are working. That being said, I will continue my availability to care for your pets either at your home or mine. I know sanitation procedure and thus, so does my house. BE SAFE OUT THERE! I love dogs! I have been dogging sitting and caring for dogs since I was very young. I have a way with dogs; they take to me very well. I have worked as a non-official dog trainer for 10 years now. I work as a behavioral manager for a school district; this job and a great love for canines helped propel me through my training with a dog expert from Las Vegas, NV. I am responsible, especially with other peoples loved ones and will take the time and effort to ensure your dog is comfortable and happy - playing is a must! I do not have any pets currently living with me; while I know some dogs get along fine with other animals, I choose not to subject them to anything else while staying with me; I find it to be safer and allows more attention and care for your little friend!

Joel is always great with our dog Stella! This is close to the fifth or sixth time we have had Joel watch our dog. Highly recommend, 10/10.
