Professional and reliable

Pet care experience

I worked with dogs and cats at Blue Ridge Vet for 4 years before my new job. I worked for the daycare service and in the kennel. I would walk 10 miles a day with dogs from 7am-11am. This would include everything from chihuahuas to mastiffs and puppies to elderly dogs. After the walks, I would help put together play groups and moniter for safe play time. In kennel I would be in charge of feeding, letting the dogs out, cleaning kennels, bathing, giving medication and everything in between. I've got a lovely dog of my own, so my skills are still honed in and ready to go. I still want to stay active in my life and I think this will be a great way to do so

Josh, or as we refer to him as the "dog whisperer" has a fantastic way of connecting with dogs and takes the time to really learn their "love language". He is attentive, caring, and compassionate. Josh has many, many years of experience as a kennel worker at our local vet's office, along with being a leader in the Doggy Daycare Center. Josh's knowledge gained at those two positions is very valuable. Any dog in Josh's care is a lucky dog.

Safety, trust & environment

Each pet I’ve taken care of through out the past years has been treated as if they are my own. I’m attentive to the owners needs and I’m attentive to the dogs needs. I can train them, I can love them and I can photography them.

Information Josh M. would like to know about your pet

In my experience I’ve dealt with the many struggles a dog can have. I can work with high anxiety, seizures, aggression, fearful AND happy go lucky dogs. I can handle it all.

A typical day

I live on lake Frederick, so I can take your pets on walks around the lake and through the trails they have, or I can stick to your neighborhood if that’s what you’d prefer.
