Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, Reliable Pet Pal!
I was raised on a farm, w/ a healthy love, & respect for all animals. I have experience w/ animals large & small, from horses, sheep, & goats, to dogs, & cats. I especially enjoy raising & training dogs, as they thrive on, & readily return unconditional trust & love. I currently own a 14 yr. old Westie, named Blizzard, bought as a family Christmas gift, to teach my children how to properly care for, & train a puppy/dog. I have walked dogs, & dog/cat-sat for many friends, as they have full confidence in knowing I will care for their homes & pets, as I do my own, responsibly & lovingly. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home, & want to supplement my income, doing something I'll truly enjoy, spending quality time w/ your furry friends, when you can't. My schedule is wide open, in hopes of acquiring, & prioritizing repeat/long-term clients, but not necessarily set schedules, & most often available for occasional, or emergency visits/walks, as well. I am available early morning to early evening, given ample notice of cancellation (8-12 hrs.), so to maintain other career obligations. I look forward to meeting fellow pet lovers, and your furry friends! I'm very active, greatly enjoy the outdoors, & not terribly averse to inclement weather, so more than happy to visit, walk, & play, rain, snow, or shine, whether around the yard, the block, or at the nearest park. I'm proud to say, my friends would describe me as friendly, trustworthy, & dependable, so you will also have full confidence in knowing I will respect your home, & care for your pets, as I do my own, responsibly, & lovingly. I look forward to making new pet pals, & hope to see you soon!

Safety, trust & environment
I have plenty of space, indoor or outdoor, to walk, run, & play, on leash, or happy to take a ride, to the nearest dog park, to run freely, & socialize w/ other pups. Your Pet, your rules! Just let me know how you'd like/prefer our time be spent, together.
Ratings and reviews
Josh was terrific! Our pitbull Lizzie thought he was great, too. Josh knows how to handle a dog, put on a complicated harness, and keep them on pace and well-behaved during the walk. We could tell Lizzie had a good time on the walk because she was wagging her tail and totally pooped out! Josh is reliable and mature. We look forward to booking him again!
Josh is great! Our dogs love him. His time is flexible and he really cares about making the time spent with the pups count. He even helped train our dogs to be better walkers. He is knowledgeable and reliable.
Josh has always been really good with both of my dogs. When one of them went missing he drove around and helped look for her for weeks.
Josh has been fantastic at helping us with our fur babies. He is reliable and takes great care of them. Both Molly and Lilly get so excited to see him. We never have to worry about them when he is caring for them.
Josh is always our go-to person when we are in need of someone to take care of our dog Cooper, whether it be due to an event causing us to be gone for the majority of a day, or when we are out of town for several consecutive days on vacation. He goes above and beyond to make sure Cooper receives quality, loving care. It is a terrific feeling to be confident in knowing that our pet is well taken care of while we are away.
Josh has watched several of our friends’ dogs while they were away. He’s had experience training his own pets and treating others’ pets as his own. Your pets are absolutely in good hands with him. He’ll come to your home and not only take the dog out, but he’ll stay and hangout and make sure the dog is happy and content before leaving. I couldn’t think of more caring person to look after your fur babies.

Schedule
Pet care has become my primary work, over the past few years, while caring for my elderly grandparents. I'm proud to be my own boss, & to be able to do what I love, spending time w/ animals, treating them w/ love & affection, as I would my own.
