About Joseph B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a .5-acre fenced-in backyard/sideyard in the middle of Gainesville. It's truly a special place for a pup as we have a small pond, as well as plenty of toys and balls to play with. We can feed the dogs either once or twice daily depending on your preference. Fresh water is changed daily. Depending on the weather, should it cooperate, we will spend time in the morning outside and then, once again in the evening. Should the temperature get too high (let's be honest, it's going to be hot!) then I will move the dogs inside the 350 sq ft Florida room to stay cool. They're welcome to free roam in this area as it is a dog-safe area when I am not in the house, otherwise, they will have more access to the rest of the house. If your dog requires medication or special treatments of any kind, I am happy to oblige, so long as I can receive detailed instructions on said procedures. *I do have a dog of my own, Luna, who is a 6-year-old Golden Doodle. I also have 2 children, aged 6 and 9 who will be staying with me every other week. My dog and children all love other animals, but please feel free to notify me if you're concerned about this in any way. **Luna is up to date on all of her shots and is regularly treated for heartworms and fleas/ticks.

Information Joseph B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any special needs or attention that your dog or cat might need. I am more than happy to provide oral medication or even injections if required. I have experience raising young puppies and working with senior dogs. The more I know, the better care I can provide!
A typical day
I am comfortable and enjoy different types of play including fetch or chase. I run around the yard daily playing soccer and frisbee with my dog, so any type of physical activity is cool with me.

Pet care experience
Growing up, not only did we always have the typical "house dog'', but my father also raised beagle dogs as a hobby. At any one time we might have as many as 15 dogs at the house. And I loved every second of it. I'm 37 now, and my passion and love for animals have stayed the same. I have a lot of experience caring for older dogs and am very comfortable working with younger pups as well. We believe in play, healthy eating, and a lot of love and attention.
Reviews
Elvis just loves staying at Joseph’s house. He loves his kids and their dog Luna. He is always well taken care of and happy. We will definitely be booking with Joseph in the future.
Joseph and his dad took great care of Mia. I was worried about her being around his dog, Luna, because she is a big dog. Normally, Mia doesn't get along well with big dogs. She loved Luna, and they did well together. I had an emergency the night I was supposed to pick up Mia. Joseph was gracious enough to let Mia stay until I could pick her up the next day. Joseph is very kind, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell that Joseph and his dad really love dogs.
Joseph was awesome! He was very tentative to mumble and sent pictures every day. We will always book with him when we are out of town!
Joe and his Dad made my boy feel right at home. Thank you for the great pictures and updates. We will definitely book with him again in the future
