I work from home, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I typically step out for about one hour to go to the gym, but otherwise I’m home to ensure your dog stays safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I live with people my age, which means your dog will stay engaged, active, and stimulated through frequent walks, playtime, and social interaction. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy.

Information Joshua L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. I also like to know about any medical needs, medications, training cues, or comfort items that help your pet feel safe and at home!

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk and feeding to set a calm, happy routine. While I work from home, the dog stays nearby with plenty of attention, playtime, and short breaks for bathroom walks. Later in the afternoon, we head out for a longer walk by the beach and pier, giving the dog fresh air, exercise, and new sights before winding down with dinner.

Reliable Dog Care, Done Right

Pet care experience

I have grown up caring for a Golden Retriever my entire life, giving me deep, hands-on experience with dogs’ needs, routines, and behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, patience, and affection to keep dogs happy and healthy.

I highly recommend Josh for any dog walking/caring needs! He is attentive, trustworthy, responsible and most importantly, my dog loves him and always gets excited when she sees Josh walk in the door!

I can’t say enough about Josh. I was so worried about leaving my baby in someone’s care but Josh was such a great choice. He’s attentive, pays attention to what Quinn needs and takes Quinn on wonderful excursions, providing care, great exercise and time with other dogs to play. Thank you Josh! Kelly A.

I’m so grateful to Josh for taking such wonderful care of my golden retriever. He was extremely caring, attentive and treated her like his own. Josh spent time caring for her, playing with her and giving her exercise. It gave me comfort she was someone I trusted and loved her! I highly recommend Josh and will be calling him again!
