Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated and caring animal lover
If you need someone to give some attention, snuggle, exercise, or anything in between! I have extensive experience administering medications, with or without aids or coercion. (usually! Every dog is different, but I've been trained by veterinary professionals.) I cared for my 13 year-old Lab-mix, Jackson, 24/7 while working from home during Covid lockdowns. Two of those years he was unable to walk unassisted and 100% of his mobility relied on me to go up and down stairs, outside to the bathroom, etc. He needed medications 4 times per day, and so I understand the struggles. In my life I have rescued and raised a squirrel pup, many cats, kittens, dogs, and now I have a 1 year-old pup at home that I have rescued since I just moved here to AZ. (in my picture! Meet Andromeda!) Meet and greets can be done in your home, a park, or wherever you and your pets are comfy!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Josh took excellent care of our pups and our home, I am positive they did not miss us one bit. He treated them like his own and even completed extra house duties without being asked such as checking the mail, some cleaning before we arrived back home, and took care of killing a scorpion that made its way inside. Will absolutely be booking with Josh again!

Schedule
I am currently laid off and can provide nearly any level of support you need within reason. (I do have a pup at home myself that loves and misses me!) I love walking, but I do have physical limits. After sundown is obviously best, but I'm available early mornings too. Mid-day walks are rough on everyone, but I can handle them. I carry TONS of water and ice packs for both the pets and myself.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whatever works best for you and your babies; drop-ins, walks, bathroom breaks only, exercise (light jog for a few miles if they're good on a leash with me!), throwing a ball, playing tug-o-war with rope, whatever they need or want! Low energy? High energy? I'm their man.
Pets
A typical day
I personally love to play with dogs however they like to do so. My puppy loves to run with me and play tug o' war with her toys. If they just want to learn new tricks, roll around on the ground with me, watch TV, I'll read a book to them if that's what they like! (I have done this and it's great, not kidding lol) I can send videos, pictures, anything you want!
