Raised with dogs, works with dogs!

Pet care experience

The sitter: My name is Joseph Stewart, and every inch of my life has been about dogs. I've always lived with at least three dogs at a time, but for a majority of my life I grew up with six dogs. To me, they're my friends and inspiration for working with animals. My professional experience started with bathing and has evolved intk kennel teching and training. between my job as a kennel tech and basic trainer, I'm never free of them, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I connect with dogs very naturally and I'd say being a father has only helped amplify that ability. I find it very important to reassure dogs that their mom or dad's absence doesn't mean they can't have a good day! We may take a trip to the park , or go on a pleasant walk around your neighbourhood. Upon meeting with you and your dog, I may bring treats to a neutral setting, so any food allergy information would be beneficial. Medication: I'm very experienced in giving medication orally and giving shots Bathing: You will be coming home to a clean doggo! I'll provide a free hypo-allergenic bath, unless otherwise stated. If you don't want your pal to have a bath, no problem! I emphasize a relaxed nature that helps with developing a bond with dogs, no nonsense on the leash (I won't let them out of my sight), negating chances for escape, and keeping in mind their level of socialization and training

In the best possible way, Joseph IS a dog in his soul. He is a loving, understanding care giver that respects dogs and their individual personalities. He's a lovely person that will give your dog everything they need and want.

Joseph is a great guy!! He worked for me at a doggy daycare in Atlanta and was great with the dogs!! His whole life he's beg assertions dogs and really knows what he's doing because of it. He's very caring and knows how to keep the dogs safe and happy. It helps that he's done a ton of bathing and grooming assisting so he can handle an uncomfortable dog or basic grooming needs. I'd be more ghee happy to leave my dogs with Joseph anytime!!

Information Joseph S. would like to know about your pet

all breeds are welcome! I'll ask that a meeting in a neutral setting take place where I can meet you and your dog for the first time. Food, food allergies, medication and physical disabilities will be necessary, as well as how often and how much your dog eats a day. If medication is involved, I'd like to know the dosage, how it should be received (pill, shot, ointment, etc), and the times at which they're taken. I'll be able to get a good idea of their temperament from the meeting, but I'll ask about any history of aggression.

A typical day

Long or short walks, depending on your fur friend's energy level and age, a free bath upon request, more cuddles than they can stand, and one-on-one play games such as fetch.
