Play or Stay at the Huntly Hideout

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.

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!

Thank you Joseph for taking such good care of Tilly and providing us with regular updates during our holiday. It made all the difference to us knowing she was being so well cared for and in a happy place while we were gone. We appreciate it very much. Heidi and Bernard

Schedule

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.

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.

Pets

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.

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
