Pet care experience
I have several years of experience volunteering with dog shelters. I've taken care of the most active of puppies with unlimited energy, as well as the slower paced senior dogs, who need a little extra patience. I love them all and am able to tailor activities to each dog’s specific needs! I believe exercises is the most important element of a dog’s day, both physical and mental exercise. I go on long walks and runs (depending on the dog’s abilities), and when inside the house, I like to play nose and mind games to keep your dog alert and healthy, e.g. a game of hide and seek with treats. With me, your dog is guaranteed to have fun and get lots of physical and mental exercise along the way!
Reviews
Josh is always so reliable and gets along well with my dog - who is afraid of most new people.
I really enjoyed meeting Josh today. He was very kind and gentle with Chloe. He answered all of my questions and he seemed very knowledgeable at working with dogs. We all went for a walk to see how well he got along with my dog and he didn’t push or make her do anything that she didn’t want to do. I would definitely choose Josh to take my dog out again and to not be afraid of him taking her out by himself. I would recommend Josh for repeat visits.
Josh was great with our energetic Beau!! He ran him to the park to play ball, sent photos, and was very responsive. We’ll definitely be asking Josh to drop in on beau again.!
Took great care of our pups and cleaned up the mess when they got sick inside.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard where pets can wander and play. I also have three bedrooms to separate pets if ever necessary. With others’ homes, I respect all privacy and only use the rooms and doors necessary to take care of the pets.
Information Josh L. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know how a dog gets along with other dogs and people, if they like to play, walk, or run, and any health or behavior concerns the owner might have about the dog.
A typical day
As soon as I wake up, it’s time for a walk. I’ll take my own dogs out or one of my regular clients, depending on the day, for a good long walk before heading off to work. When I get home it’s time to play and/or walk again!

Availability
During the week I work as an educational assistant, but typically I have the most availability Mondays and Fridays, and week days after 3pm. My weekend availability is not as consistent.
