Joshua is a rare kind of dog person, the kind who truly gets them. Not just the basics, but the subtle language of body and energy. He watched my dog Annika for two nights, and I can honestly say she came back more relaxed and grounded. Annika isn’t the easiest dog. She’s a rescue with a complex past, a strong prey drive, and a deep sensitivity to energy. But Joshua met her exactly where she was, with calm, confidence, and a deep understanding of her breed and background. He didn’t just “watch” her; he connected with her. And that made all the difference. It was such a relief to know she was in the care of someone who not only understood her needs but could also gently guide her through them. He even managed to navigate her prey drive around his cat (which I still can’t quite believe!). That kind of intuitive, respectful handling is rare. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog with presence, patience, and real skill, Joshua is your person. He has a special touch, and your dog will feel it. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Joshua was an excellent host and his dogs did excellent with our dog Duke! He came home tuckered out after a long day of playing! He sent pictures and kept us in the loop which was perfect since we rarely leave Duke alone. 10/10 would recommend!!
