My dogs need more friends.

Pet care experience

I had been a trainer at a private business for 3 years, and am pursuing running my own training/boarding/grooming business. I have worked with puppies, rescues, purebred, reactive, calm, all types of dogs. I believe in a structured relationship that revolves around love and positivity. I specialize in leash walking. I believe a structured leash walk is the absolute best way to exhaust a dogs mental and physical energy tanks. The proof is in the pudding!

Joshua went above and beyond with our dog. We could tell our dog was well loved and was very happy. Joshua sent updates and videos. His communication was excellent! Our house also looked great when we got home. We would definitely use Joshua again to watch our dog!

Joshus was a very great sitter, He came over once a day, always on time never late, took really good care of Duke our dog, he clean up if Duke made an accident he work with Duke on his training because he's just a puppy , I would really highly recommend Joshua

Josh has done an excellent job walking and looking after our dog when we are not able to. He is very reliable and our dog absolutely loves Josh. We knew Josh was a good choice when we observed his interactions with his own dog. He loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are crate trained and leash trained. They can go outside without a leash, but customers dogs will not (without going through an evaluation/ my training program.) I can house dogs of any size, any temperament, and after a stay with me your dog is sure to be calmer and mind commands better.

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet

No preferences on dog types, all are loveable to me! I would love to meet the dog with the owner present before walking or dog sitting. I would like to know of tendencies of the dog that could be problematic, not to avoid the dog but instead to think of how to handle them ahead of time! All dogs no matter how big or how energetic are my best friends!

A typical day

I am a huge fan of the outdoors and I love going on hikes at local nature preserves with my dogs! If you and your dog choose me we might go on a hike, to a dog park, or on a good old fashioned walk around the block!

My daily routine revolves around dogs, they aren’t incorporated into my routine they are my routine. I use structured feedings, structured walks, and play time to meet a dogs physical and mental requirements.
