Pet care experience

Never met a dog that didnt love me!

I am a bigger guy, so I can handle the larger dogs without a problem on walks. I currently have 2 Huskies who I have trained and cared for and I also had 2 Portuguese Water Dogs who have since passed. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been the “favorite”. One of my relatives has called me the dog whisperer! 😂 I truly love dogs with a passion and they really are our best friends. My old guy Timber has arthritis and thyroid problems so I am used to administering medications and different types of food diets. Your dogs would be well cared for and I can accommodate any special needs. I also love walking so it would be great to have some additional companions!

Seamless, didn’t have to worry about anything while we were on vacation. Last minute booking and it was a great decision. Will 100% be rebooking.

Joe was amazing with our 4 furry toddlers! We've never really went on vacation because of our dogs and fears of boarding our dogs. Joe sent nearly daily updates, some pics and videos of them having a great time without us. He's super responsive to messages and very patient with people and our crazy pack of 4. Thanks again for allowing us to have a worry free 1st vacation!

Joseph was so kind as to take our Labrador very last minute. She is fearful of men in general, but immediately went with Joseph without any hesitation. Joseph sent us pictures of our dog playing with his dogs, which was awesome to see, as well as other updates that she was doing great. We already have plans for our dog to stay with Joseph again!!

Joseph is always reliable and accountable. He sends great pictures of Lily while I’m at work, which gives me peace of mind knowing she’s doing well. He keeps me updated if her water needs to be refilled and will put her food down if I’ve left it out. I know Lily can be a bit shy, and I truly appreciate the patience and care he shows her. I highly recommend him. I am appreciative.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to get my high energy dogs the exercise they need as well as playtime and bathroom breaks. My older dog needs more care as he has medical conditions and special feeding routines and I would be able to do the same for your pets.
