Dependable With Lots of Experience
I have had dogs in my life from the time I was 8 years old. I am 60 now. I have been a dog trainer for over 20 years and know the importance of exercise and impulse control. Lack of exercise is one of the main contributors to "destruction" in and around the house. If I am walking your dog, we are walking - not sniffing around. I am pretty fit for an old man! With other client's dogs, I can generally walk a mile in 17-20 minutes. If I am boarding, I will "entertain" your pup with games, walks, fetch and plenty of other outside time as much as possible. I live on a nice quiet street that will be safe for them. Give me a call to get things set up for your pooch! I have had dogs off and on (mostly on) since I was 8 years old. A daily routine to take care of dogs is nothing new to me. In fact, it is important to me to have a structured schedule for feeding, potty time, playtime, etc. so the time is easier on human and canine. I try to have a pretty rigid schedule so the dog knows what’s going on and approximately when it will take place. Daily walks and/or play time is daily on my quiet street or in my fenced in backyard.

Ratings and reviews
Joey took GREAT care of Bella and JD. He’s friendly, reliable, and always keeps us updated. I never worry when he’s the one stopping by — I’m very confident in the care he gives. Our dogs love him, they are comfortable and content when he is there.
Joey is personable, flexible, very experienced, calm and our pugs love him. If you want someone you can trust in your home and with your pets, Joey is the answer. Than you Joey we appreciate you.
We never have a worry about leaving our dog with Joey. Our dog has anxiety and can be difficult in changes of environments. We have used Joey's services a few times now. He sends us daily pics and updates us on how our dog is doing. Our dog looks like she's enjoying her stay and every time we've picked her, she's been just fine.
Joey came for a "meet and greet" on a very short notice! He is a great communicator, professional, personable, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable and helpful with our little man JD. We are wanting to learn manners and how to be better pack leaders and he really gave us some great help and made some quick progress. He knows how to really relate to dogs. Bella and JD loved all the attention he gave them!! We used him for two drop ins today and it was GREAT! The dogs love him and his treats!! We are definitely going to use him again for sitting and also for training we feel very blessed to have found him since we have just moved back to GA. Thank you, Joey, for taking very good care of our babies!! We appreciate you.
Joey and his wife have been excellent to work with. He takes great care and is great at communicating with me about our dog. I highly suggest!
Amazing job taking care of my girl! Joey sent me photos regularly, and I was comfortable and confident that Roxy was getting the best care.

Schedule
Taking care of dogs is basically what I do 24/7. I am a dog trainer so basically dogs, not just my own, are my life and my livelihood.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own. I will not just open the door and let the dogs run out to play. I am out there with them every step of the way. I am mindful about whether certain dogs get along or not. I am very meticulous in my care.

A typical day
Most dogs love it when I offer to throw a ball or a frisbee their way. I have a dog of my own that loves to interact with all of my guests as well. There is always something for them to do if they are staying with me.
