About Joshua Avery D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Care for dogs in my apartment can be accommodated. The apartment is kept cool at all times with an AC and the pet is welcome to get comfortable. Regular long early morning and evening walks and short afternoon potty breaks will ensure your dog is getting exercise at appropriate times on hotter days to keep their paws comfortable and their energy regulated. Overnight stays at the clients home are also welcome and needs arranged via consultation.

Information Joshua Avery D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs your pet has or temperaments/behaviours I should be aware of. Additionally, if there are any items or actions your pet shows discomfort around, please do not hesitate to let me know.
A typical day
- Hikes/Long, Leisurely Walks on the Thames - Trips to Dog Parks - Car rides - Exploring London’s Parks Concerning fun activities with the dogs I watch here in London, Ontario, there are plenty of wonderful parks to explore outdoors, giving pups new smells and much needed stimulus! Owning a car with its own pet seat cover, our adventures can extend across London. Aside from the usual Victoria Park downtown, Springbank, Gibbons, and Meadowlily give the dogs I watch ample opportunity to explore lush, quieter places. Springbank allows us to walk along the Thames River for long, leisurely walks. Additionally, with a small enclave permitting dogs to spend some time off leash, we can play fetch or explore (if the owner allows). Gibbons also offers wide expansive pathways where we can play games of fetch or frisbee, an ideal place for me to allow your pup to run freely. My personal favorite, Meadowlily, additionally gives us a chance to cool off, dipping our feet and paws in cool water during long 1-2 hour hikes. Other fun activities, under owner discretion, can include a trip to Greenway or Pottersburg off-leash dog park, where your pup can socialize and run freely. During my time in Los Angeles, this was the most favored pastime of the pups I cared for. I am diligent, with a good eye for body language between pups! Overall, a typical day with me usually entails a visit to some new, underexplored outdoor area for fun and engaging activities with the dogs I watch. Whether it’s long walks along scenic trails, playing fetch, or just exploring new environments, there is no shortage of exciting adventures for me and your furry companion to embark on.

Reviews
Avery was excellent. Communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. He gave our dogs great care and attention, and kept us updated with regular photos and notes about how they were doing. He also handled a couple of unexpected in-house accidents like a true pro. We came home to a spotless house and very happy dogs. Highly recommended.
Joshua was an excellent choice for taking care of our dog Cooper. He is diligent, neat, and understands what pets need. We highly recommend him.
Avery watched our babies Nov 25,2023, he was absolutely great with them. Asher hurt his foot the day of and he made sure he don’t run around and hurt his foot further. He very pleasant and friendly. My babies seems they were happy and I would definitely highly recommend him, definitely I will seek him out to pet sit again.
All the girls loved Avery!! He stayed at our home as all our fur kids are of an age and don't go to kennels anymore. Our dog, Shadow, got to enjoy extra walks and became more energetic for an older gal. Avery was excellent though at ensuring that she didn’t over do it. As for the kitties in the group - Poppy is usually standoffish but she enjoyed cuddling and being with Avery while he worked from our home. My husband’s cat came up to Avery the first time he came over for a meet and greet which NEVER happens - he’s the cat whisperer we think. Avery had to give our dog meds each evening and the one cat also. He had it down pat. All our pets have some issues but he rolled with it and wasn’t fazed. All communications with Avery were handled extremely well and the initial meet and greet was fabulous- he even came over briefly a second time to do a walk with our dog to ensure she was comfortable. We highly recommend Avery and will certainly book him again!! He gets full paws 🐾 up from the gang.
