Availability
I’m an independent contractor and set my own schedule. When and if I have to step away, my dogs will be kept indoors and so will yours. I have a large crate and several play pens, if needed. I let my dogs out to relieve themselves as needed, which is usually 2-4 times daily. I walk my dogs in the afternoon and/or in the evening, at odd times to become accustomed with different times of days and weather/temperature conditions.

About Joseph A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large high fenced backyard with a saltwater pool. I guided both my dogs to be confident swimmers and retrievers. They’ll only swim when invited. I don’t have a doggy door and keep the entry doors closed and locked at all times. The dogs will stay inside and free to roam, and will be let out as needed and will be monitored during playtime in the backyard. I don’t have back neighbors and my fence gates are locked and secured. If your pup needs alone time or their own space, I have a guest room upstairs that I can secure with a swing gate. I have two large 40x25 aluminum Kuranda beds with fleece padding for the dogs to relax at their leisure when indoors. I also have an extra large 47” Sytopia bed for the dogs to relax at their leisure when outdoors. My pool deck has two in ground umbrellas for extra shade during those hot summer days along with a covered patio and free standing canopy.
Home
Information Joseph A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any anxiety with larger or smaller dogs than he or she, and if they have been socialized with young kids (6 and older). We want to make sure all dogs enjoy their stay, and leave in the same or better mood than when they arrived. Please be sure to show confirmation (and redact any personal and private information) of current rabies, parvo, distemper, and bordetella vaccination when boarding (i.e. the same requirements that boarding facilities requests records of). Please list and provide instructions for any medication that needs to be administered including any monthly preventatives.
A typical day
Most days will include a light snack mid day, sun bathing, playtime/free time, exercise, hydration, and relaxation. Some days will include pool time and long walks along the bayous and around the subdivision. My dogs’ meal time is typically once per day in the mid to late afternoon. I can accommodate any meal time schedule your dog is already accustomed to or they can all dine together.

Pet care experience
My dogs love hide and seek treats-athon. My kids join in on the game too. I highly encourage basic obedience training indoor and outdoor, whenever and wherever, and I’m happy to work with any dog or puppy on refining or learning these skills all the while unlocking their hidden talents.
Reviews
Joseph is great! Reply’s quickly. He worked with us, we had just moved and needed a dog sitter immediately. He was welcoming and attentive to our Stella. Lots of walks and helped train her too! We will be using Joseph again!
Joseph took care for our Tilly like it was his own dog. She had a great time, was well cared for and we got frequent updates with pictures and videos. She looked great and very comfortable when we collected her and will for sure rely on Jospeh for our next trip if he is available. We can only recommend him!
Joseph has been great as usual. He took care of our Bullitt just like his own! I appreciate the updates we got all through out our trip. Thanks again Joseph!!
Joseph was fantastic. Great communication on each of his drop-in visits and took very good care of our pup. We will definitely book with him again.
