Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment in every aspect of care. I closely follow each dog’s routine, including feeding instructions, walk preferences, and any special needs. My home is clean, dog safe, and supervised throughout the day, and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the same level of attentiveness. I always use secure leashes, monitor interactions carefully, and communicate regularly with updates for peace of mind.

Information Joshua K. would like to know about your pet

I love learning what makes your pet unique! Please share routines, quirks, triggers, medical needs, favorite toys, and commands. The more I know, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and smiling.

A typical day

Every day is tailored to your pet’s energy and personality. I’ll mix in walks, playtime, sniff-filled adventures, enrichment games, plus calm downtime so your pet feels relaxed, happy, and at home.

Pet care experience

I bring a high level of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable handling everything from structured walks and feeding schedules to medications and special care needs. My goal is always the same: dependable care, clear communication, and a happy, well-cared-for dog.

Josh was fantastic- responsive, caring and obviously loves dogs and is very adaptive to individual needs. Lily seemed to relax and enjoy her stay completely. I do not hesitate to highly recommend Josh and will work with him again.

Josh was fabulous! Kept in contact with us and made sure our boy was well cared for. His two gorgeous dogs Valley and Maverick are such loves too!
