Home Full-Time,love playing w/ dogs

Pet care experience

I've been caring for medium sized dogs almost my entire life; I cared for my 15 yo Cocker Spaniel since she was born. I'm recovering from a near-fatal accident, so I'm trying to be more active meaning more walks for your dogs and mine. If your dog gets cold easily like my schnauzer does, please bring your dogs' coat with them just in case it gets chilly outside on their walk. I love playing with puppies and dogs of all ages. I will treat your loved pet like one of my own loved pets; will be very attentive and provide plenty of love, and PLENTY of cuddles. Also, if you give your dogs treats after they go potty, please drop those off when you bring your dog.

Josh watched our four year old Cavachon for a week over the holidays and took care of him as if he was his own. He sent us daily pictures and videos of Biscuit playing in the park and looking cozy while he slept. When he wasn’t eating, Josh reached out to us to voice his concerns which were normal because Biscuit can be a picky eater! We truly felt at ease knowing that while we were away our pup was happy and in a loving environment. We highly recommend Josh for your pets and your family!

This past week I had to go out of town last minute and had to find a sitter for my puppy, this was my first time ever being away from her for that long so I was very nervous. Josh replied immediately even thou it was last minute and the holidays and agreed to take on the responsibility of my very energetic pit puppy. He immediately made us feel welcome upon arrival. He kept in contact the entire time, keeping me updated on everything she was doing and sending lots of pictures and videos, I felt so relieved that my puppy was happy and having fun even with me being away. He went above and beyond the entire week to make Reckless comfortable. He groomed Reckless, brung her to the dog park and also to the pet store and purchased her a brain stimulating toy since she has so much energy and a harness so he could leash train her. She recieved training on commands such as sit, lay down, and place. When I arrived to pick up Reckless all three of us went on a walk so Josh could show me the progress Reckless made, I was so amused at how well trained she was in comparison to when I dropped her off. He even took the time to show me how to reinforce all the training he taught her. I couldn’t thank Josh and his family enough for taking such great care of my puppy! If Reckless ever needs a sitter, I’ll definetly be rebooking Josh.

Josh is outstanding when it comes to dogs, he loves playing with them as well as caring for them. I'm sure he would treat any dog left in his care as though it were his own.

I live close to a fenced-in dog park that we can, and most likely will visit if the weather permits. As far as potty walks, most of the streets around my house have sidewalks, so they'll be taken on a walk around a few blocks.
