Any and all animals welcome

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for the last 20 ish years. I also have experience in obedience classes and have dealt with foster/rescue dogs that were aggressive. I work at an elementary school, so I am off on weekends as well as multiple breaks throughout the year. I am off for a couple months for summer break so will be home every day I list as available. I am away from home from 8 40 to about 4 30 each day, but often have a family member at home during these times. We have a fenced yard, a doggy door for access( we also have a gate for dogs that are not used to the doors) Everyone in the family has participated in training for dogs, and has had then for years.

Josh & his family are awesome & took amazing care of our dog Lola! She came home happy & it seemed like she had a great time. Josh sent pictures & updates daily & was very attentive to Lola’s needs. Will definitely be using him again in the near future!

Very reliable and thoughtful walker. I have three dogs all with separate and unique quirks and Josh is able to handle them all! Highly recommended.

Josh has a sincere love of all animals, not just the cute and furry ones. When a rogue rat snake was discovered in our house whilst we were away on travel, Josh searched the house top to bottom with intent to catch the culprit and release him back into the wild. My German shepherd loves him and i know i can trust him to care for her when i can't be there.

Josh is a great lover of pets who provides great care for them. He loves to play with dogs and cats and has a natural bond with them. I would hire Josh anytime my pet needs care.

Information Josh F. would like to know about your pet

Any medication or major issues such as food or leash aggression would be helpful to know in advance. I have experience with both, so they shouldn't be a huge problem.

A typical day

On weekends there will always be at least one walk, usually 2 to 3 depending on the weather. There is a trail not far from my house that is a common route for walks.
