Looking for dogs to walk with

Pet care experience

I have experience with all aged dogs. I feel especially sensitive to older dogs with special need after caring for my own special needs pet.

Josef was a great sitter for my dog Lucy. He, with the help of other members of his family, took loving care of her when I was away for an extended length of time. Any messages I sent were responded to very promptly, and I received regular updates when I was away. When I came to pick Lucy up to take her home I could see how comfortable she was in Josef's home. Her affection for family members was also clear. If my dog could write the review I'm convinced it would be five stars. I would be ver comfortable leaving Lucy with Josef again.

Josef was fantastic with our 8 yo greyhound. He was able to troubleshoot when he had digestion issues and was patient until Digby adapted to a new environment. Rescued greyhounds can have unique needs - they are very sensitive and like a pack leader they can trust and count on. Josef has the calm confidence our hound needed! He loved his time at Josef’s place and quickly found his rhythm in his home.

Josef was patient and caring of my 16 year old pup! It’s a relief to know she was in such good hands.

Josef assisted me over the last year and a half caring for an elderly pet that due to a sudden illness had special needs and required alot of attention. He was extremely patient and loving towards my aging small dog. He was very comforting to have on call. Both my dog and I felt very at ease with his calm and caring demeanor.

Each pet has its own different needs so I will follow each clients special instructions on how to care for their pet to my best ability. We have a spacious yard but I would make sure a dog in my care would always be walked on a leash.

I am a college student so I am pretty flexible with fitting things into my schedule. I am also passionate about fitness so walking your dog will help us both get our steps in.
