Pet care experience
I used to walk a dog every day who lived with an abusive owner for the first few years of her life. She was very small and afraid of the streets, but after a few weeks walking with me she became noticeably more confident. During this time I also walked a much larger dog who wasn't nearly as nervous but presented his own challenges with his size and general athleticism. They were both really great animals and feel I developed a relationship with both of them by the time my tenure was over. I always have had dogs growing up and am very comfortable around all sizes/breeds/personality types. I am a total dog lover and am comfortable walking at whatever pace they are comfortable with.
Reviews
When I first adopted my dog, it was clear she came from an abusive home and was very fearful of men in particular. Josh was the first person to walk her, and through his patience and kindness she learned to trust him. Josh is an incredibly intuitive dog walker, and very adept at creating a trusting relationship with even the most fearful dogs. My dog used to only stay outside about 30 seconds to do her business, but now she will go on 20-30 minute walks, even on busy streets. I believe Josh helped her become confident navigating the city. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a dog walker!

A typical day
My neighborhood in bushwick has some lovely parks, including Irving park which I frequent. I am tennis player, so I have a large collection of tennis balls that the dogs can enjoy, as well as frisbees.
