Dog gone good dog boarding!

Pet care experience

My number one rule for all pets is to have fun! An inveterate animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for various pets, particularly dogs of all ages/sizes, cats, hamsters, fish, and chameleons. I have volunteered for an animal shelter. You can see from my pictures that my home is very pet-friendly. Typical day for dog boarding: Your dog and I wake up and go for a morning walk in my spacious yard, have breakfast, and play. We then have many play/walk breaks throughout the day while I work from home. After work we have more fun (try to catch squirrels, chew grass, and/or knock over trash cans) before supper and eventually crashing in bed. Quickly becoming besties with pets of all kinds, I read their signals well and am extremely attentive to their needs.

Joseph has been taking wonderful care of Gidget during 2+ years of travel. Very flexible with his time and great communications. Can’t say enough about his Rover services.

Joseph always does a wonderful job taking care of our Jack Russell terrier, Garth!! When he is available to sit for Garth, I know I never have to worry. He cares for him like he would his own dog. This stay was when my husband and I went to Vegas to get married! That weekend was so busy and I had so much to think about, but because of Joseph I was able to relax about Garth being in great hands. Thanks so much, Joseph!

Joseph is one of the only people we trust for our dog Tito. He can be a lot to handle on a leash and needs lots of attention and Joseph is great with all of that. I know he always gives him the care that I do at home. Thanks Joseph!!

Another amazing stay for Tito my 6 year old German Shepard / Basenji mix! 10 days was way too long to have to be away from my baby but daily videos from Joseph made it much less stressful. He is the BEST dog sitter we have ever had!!

Information Joseph E. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's food requirements, medications, walk/run activity level, special commands, emergency contacts, dropoff/pickup times, and anything else you can think of. I love all breeds.

A typical day

First and foremost, my walks are fun! We will walk on trails around Boulder. Depending on your dog's activity level, the pace could leisurely or active (or somewhere in between). Either way your dog learns to walk right by my side. If they dare pull the leash, I turn around to walk in the other direction, which trains them to follow my lead. Fun activities may include playing ball, Frisbee, tug of war, belly rubs, etc.
