Pet care experience

Having spent five years working at various dog boarding facilities, I've embarked on a different career path. Nevertheless, my passion for providing top-notch pet services remains strong. Our home includes two lively Shiba Inu dogs raised alongside our children. With a privacy-fenced yard and a convenient pet patio door, your dogs can freely move indoors and outdoors. They are encouraged to sleep on the couch or bed and can enjoy playtime with our resident companions. We always leash dogs for walks, ensuring their safety by never letting them roam unleashed outside. Just like our own family members, we prioritize the safety and security of your dogs. During their stay, your pets will be treated as part of our family, receiving the same care and attention as our own beloved animals. They'll enjoy individual playtime and plenty of cuddles, providing them with personal attention they might miss in a boarding facility. We emphasize communication and will send daily photos of your dogs under our care. To keep their information current, we kindly request owners to update necessary details in the app before their pets stay with us. We also offer dog treats, and if you have specific preferences or restrictions, please inform us, and we'll accommodate them accordingly.

Joey was easy to contact and easy to work with. We have 3 older dogs and all require medication, one even needed insulin injections. Joey sent pictures daily, more than once a day. I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a securely fenced yard that is well-maintained, providing a space where dogs can roam, play, and socialize with other energetic canine companions. Many dogs that stay with me leave feeling happy, tired, and excited for their next visit. I strongly believe in the unique personality of each dog. When dogs are introduced to a new environment, it takes time for them to adjust and feel comfortable. That's why I invest significant time in getting to know each dog on a personal level. Building a mutual understanding and being in tune with their individual needs is of utmost importance to me. As a fellow pet owner, I prioritize effective communication and strive to understand their language, ensuring their needs are met and they feel genuinely heard and acknowledged.

Information Joey M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences! I am experienced in caring for dogs of all sizes, from small to medium to large breeds. I have taken care of a variety of breeds including toy poodles, Maltese, Shiba Inu, as well as Huskies and German Shepherds. Huskies can be quite challenging as they have a tendency to dig holes under fences, but they are incredibly fun and amusing to be around!

A typical day

We participate in activities such as playtime, running, walking, and cuddling with your dogs. If your dogs are shy or uncomfortable in social situations, rest assured that we won't push them into situations that make them uneasy. We respect their preferences and allow them to set the pace. Whenever the weather allows, we love spending time outdoors in our backyard. Dogs are not kept in kennels; they have the freedom to move both indoors and outdoors. However, if your dogs feel more secure sleeping in a kennel, we kindly ask that you provide one for their comfort.

I have the privilege of working remotely full time, allowing me to be home throughout the day. In our lively household, there's always someone available to provide abundant personal playtime and cuddles for your pet! Each dog under my care has their own dedicated water and feeding bowls. This flexibility in my work schedule enables me to handle unexpected situations effectively. I take great pleasure in offering both mental and physical stimulation for your pet and have set up various toys and specific areas in the house exclusively tailored for dogs. Additionally, my children are enthusiastic helpers, contributing to the warm and nurturing atmosphere for the dogs I look after.
