Information Josh F. would like to know about your pet

General disposition, personality, favorite treats and activities, and those special little quirks that make your dog the most loveable furry thing in your life. As well as what triggers they may have. Rest assured that when I walk your dog, I never let them get near other dogs. Regardless of how friendly your dog or the other dog may be, I always cross the street, turn around, or avoid any confrontations with other dogs. Your dog’s health and safety is my utmost concern.

A typical day

I have three amazing dogs that get along with everyone and every dog they’ve ever met. I also have a fenced in yard in a nice neighborhood with a couple of parks and walking trails nearby.

Your dog's SECOND best friend

Pet care experience

I only care for the BEST dogs in Portland. Yours! From the tiniest Chihuahua to the 160lb Great Dane, I take care of them all. I’ve spent the last 9 years walking pullers, sniffers, runners, draggers, puppies, seniors, special needs, mutts, pedigrees all over Portland. I've been doing this long enough to be rated in the top 10% of Rover walkers and I've never had a dog NOT like me. Even the dogs that aren’t usually comfortable with strangers end up in my lap or following me around before too long. I'm that guy that gets excited when the dog at the party comes over to them. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own and I have a pretty high standard for my own spoiled rotten pooches. Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I also run my own leash manufacturing business. But getting paid to play with and interact with dogs is my dream job. I am also a freelance writer, compiling a list of short stories about how owners met their pets. If you’re interested in participating, let me know when you book me. I have a pretty set stable of clients that I have at daycare on a weekly basis. I’m flexible, though and can usually manage to fit in a last minute request. Multiple walks, plenty of outdoor time in the fenced in yard with my three playful and friendly dogs. Nearby parks and trails also. Lots of interaction, attention, and affection.

Josh is a pro; I’ve been using different sitters for over ten years and it is obvious he know what he is doing. Booking was easy, quick responses, reassuring intro and tour, great pics while I was away, and flexible on after-hours pickup. I’ll definitely seek out Josh in the future and highly recommend him to anyone.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
