Testimonials
Josh at K9 Professionals is wonderful! We’ve boarded our three dogs with him multiple times and they get excited whenever we pull up to his house (even our anxious one)! We get tons of pictures throughout their stay and they always get plenty of exercise, playtime, adventures, and socialization. Josh is great with communication and flexible with our schedules. We will happily continue bringing our dogs to stay with him!
– Josh
Josh has been caring for our two dogs, Susan and Poppy for several years now. Our dogs are always very excited when they realize they are headed to see Josh for a few nights. We get daily pictures of the dogs having fun. He makes sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. The best part is he is able to have our dogs at his house, so no kennels. Our dogs have never come back home sick unlike commercial facilities.
– Name
We’ve trusted Josh with our dog since she was six months old and now at almost 2 years, he’s still the only person will leave with her. Our pup is naturally timid around most humans but she has always been completely comfortable with Josh. He strikes the perfect balance of being firmed yet loving and she’s always excited to see him when we drop her off. When we pick her up, she’s happy and relaxed maybe a little tired from all of the fun that she has had with him and the other dogs he cares for. Josh keeps us updated with photos throughout our trip, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. She gets daily walks, play time with other animals and has become wonderfully socialized, thanks to him. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our dog and we’re so grateful for the care attention he provides every single time.
