Highlights
Pet care experience
20 Year Foster Rescuer can train
I have rehabiliated and adopted out 100s of dogs over 20 years volunteering. I have a strong interest in animal behaviorism and house training. Over many years I have developed a pack oriented training and boarding system that helps establish a very stable and productive social environment for dogs. Providing a quiet and comfortable environment that allows me to reprogram feral and abused pups to allow them to be adopted. I have a structured and fun environment with a house customized for "Good Karma" dog living. We have an enclosed yard access by a doggy door. Outside hammocks and lighting. Open area in living room with many beds, toys, and sunny spot.s Yes we have a tennis ball room now. Yes I have toured farms with Temple Grandin herself and she agrees that we both speak to the animals and that makes us human. REQUIREMENTS: Your dog must get along with other dogs with no excessive food or asset guarding. Everything else I can accept. Expect your dog to be living with at least one foster dog and up to 3 rover dogs depending on schedule. I send many updates and have an interest in working on socializing behavior and enrichment during the stay.

Ratings and reviews
)ur dog came home raving about Joe! Our first time using Rover and a good success all around. Joe was attentive and kept us updated with photos and videos, he accommodated our dog's specific diet requirements, and his communications were quick and excellent.
Joseph took great care of our two dogs and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!
Joe was a terrific host. Gave samwise everything he needed and was flexible and accommodating to us on our bike trip. Would absolutely book again.
Another wonderful visit with Joe!!
Joseph was amazing! Winston can be a little clingy and has some separation anxiety, so leaving him while we’re away can definitely make me a little nervous. Joseph immediately made him feel comfortable and right at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. Winston also had a great time with the other dogs and really seemed to benefit from being part of the pack during his stay. It was clear he felt safe, happy, and well cared for. Joseph is trustworthy, attentive, and clearly a true dog lover. I would absolutely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!
Joseph was very responsive and sent lots of videos/photos. My dog enjoyed staying with him and I'd definitely bring him back.
