Have watched over 1,000 dogs
Hello my name is Joseph and I have worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility as a kennel technician for two years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas and Yorkies to Great Danes and St. Bernards. After years of being involved with the day to day care of hundreds of dogs, I've decided to move on and focus on providing a more personal and caring dog-sitting experience to the pet owners that love their fluffy bundle of joy. My time spent at my previous job has made me aware of all types of special needs that all dogs may have. I've been trained in administering medication, identifying behavior that may need medical attention, and general safety rules that are meant to keep order in a large boarding house for canines. In addition to having my full attention, your dogs will have 8 to 10 hours of supervised playing or swimming in an enclosed half an acre of land during the day in my own backyard. At bedtime, there is an option of spending the night in a room inside of the home or in a comfortable weather-protected enclosure in the backyard. If requested, I am able to walk your dogs in my own neighborhood as there is very low traffic and is very quiet with no loud noises. I'm also happy to provide photos and updates via email or phone as often you would like. My dream is to one day open my very own dog boarding facility where all my decisions will be based on making sure that all my furry guests feel like my business is their second home.

Ratings and reviews
Joseph is fantastic! We needed long term boarding for our doggo while we traveled and I couldn’t be happier with his stay. He had so much fun and came home happy and healthy. Can’t ask for more than that!!
Joseph was a great sitter for Beau. We needed care for 5 days. Joseph was responsive and provided photos and videos. Beau was well taken care of. We plan to seek Joseph's services again.
Always easy with Joseph and we received photos and video of our Pepper. Already booked another stay with him.
Always does a great job with our dog!
Communication was good before booking. Drop off was good and we checked out the space in person. I am rating 3 stars because we were sad to not receive any updates on how our two dogs were doing until I reached out and asked. I didn't receive any update photos either. When I picked up my two dogs around 6:30 pm they were panting and immediately went right to their water bowl drinking very thirsty, which leads me to believe they might not have had adequate easy access to room temp or cold water (they won't drink warm or hot water at all) and it was very hot temperature outside that day. My friend used a different sitter in the same area for her Frenchie and she got photos and updates every 2 hours and her dog didn't go straight for the water when we got home. My recommendation moving forward is for the sitter to provide more updates throughout the day with photos. Our pups are our family and we just want some reassurance they are ok - especially when using the service/sitter for the first time.
Always accommodating and takes great care of our Pepper! ❤️

A typical day
Dogs will have 1/2 an acre of land to play with other dogs with, a nice big pool, and a volleyball court sized sand pit. There is a great shaded area in the back with plenty of trees and an additional area specifically for grooming. I live in a residential neighborhood with hardly any traffic and is a generally quiet area with no loud noises. I'd also like to add that there are no children on the premises so your dogs will not be bothered.
