Your dog's SECOND best friend
Pet care experience
I only walk the BEST dogs in Portland. Yours! From the tiniest Chihuahua to the 160lb Great Dane, I walk them all. I’ve spent the last 5 years walking pullers, sniffers, runners, draggers, puppies, seniors, special needs, mutts, pedigrees all over Portland. And I ONLY walk your dog(s) when you book me. My attention isn’t divided among a dozen other dogs. Your pooch gets all of my focus when I walk them. No need to worry about your dog being lost in the pack. I've been doing this long enough to be rated in the top 10% of Rover walkers, never gotten a bad review, 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 walk as if they were my own and I have a pretty high standard for my own pooches. Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I ran my own dog collar and leash business for a couple of years and I enjoy being able to make a living while doing something I love. 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 walk daily. 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 two playful and friendly dogs. Nearby parks and trails also. Lots of interaction, attention, and affection.
Reviews
Josh was so great. He was super nice and took wonderful care of our pup! Also super communicative snd sent lots of pics. Will definitely have Josh watch Coco again!
Gus has such a great time with Josh. Always comes back happy and tired.
Thank you so much for dropping in to feed my pups! We had a great sunset ski! They seemed tired when we got home and this morning…I am wondering if it is the cheese?
My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.

I have a six foot fence around my yard, two awesome friendly dogs, and the ability to crate your dog if they need a safe spot to relax and get away from it all. Daily walks, playtimes, and treat breaks are always on the schedule.
Home
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 two 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.
