Pet care experience

With us dogs are family!

I’ve worked with dogs my entire life and currently work as a handler at a large boarding facility while continuing my education in canine training and behavior. I specialize in active, high-energy dogs and understand that every dog has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and enriching environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I have experience with multi-dog households, boarding, walks, basic obedience, and dogs that need a little extra patience or management. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a calmer routine, I tailor care to fit both the dog and owner’s needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Joey is a very kind sweet soul, especially when it comes to dogs. He treats them like family and respects that they need to listen but makes it fun. Dogs have been in his life a very long time and he gives them the best lives they could ask for. Your dogs will come home happy tired and content.

Schedule

I work with dogs both professionally and in my personal life, and i structure my schedule around pet care and make sure every dog gets the time, exercise, and attention they need. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, boarding, or active play, I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, fulfilled, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

During drop in's i ensure your dog is fed per their dietary requirements, have plenty of water, and have ample time to use the restroom. On walks i make sure they get a good long outing and lots of good sniffs and positive mental stimulation to ensure a relaxed dog once they get home.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different, but most days include structured walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I love long walks, hikes, fetch, and mentally stimulating activities that help dogs stay fulfilled and relaxed. If appropriate, I’m also happy to help reinforce basic obedience, leash manners, and structure during our time together. And if dogs are social and compatible, I can incorporate structured play with other dogs as well.

The most important thing for me is understanding your dog’s routine, personality, and needs beforehand. I like to know about energy level, social behavior with people or dogs, medical needs, triggers, feeding routines, and anything that helps your dog feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
