Experienced & Loving Petcare.

Pet care experience

I've been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child. Over the past 13 years, I've cared for various breeds and sizes, from rambunctious puppies to gentle senior dogs. Not only have neighbors, friends, and family trusted me with walking, feeding, and bathing their furry friends, but I've also gained experience in basic obedience training and managing special needs. Each dog is unique, and I pride myself on understanding and catering to their individual requirements.

I was nervous at first to leave my little guy with a boarder, but Josh made me and Wilbur feel comfortable right away. As soon as we met in the initial meeting my Wilbur seemed calm and happy. Josh always kept me posted on how Wilbur was doing and sent me pics regularly. Josh was professional, reliable and above all, showed a genuine love for animals. Will definitely book again.

Our dog did seem to genuinely like Josh, so I'm not

Josh is fantastic with our pup Ein. He always responds quickly whenever I need him and its last minute. Ein loves him as if he were his own human. Thanks again josh for the walk and for replenishing the poop bags, I always forget:)

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a secure environment, free from hazards. I maintain a clean and comfortable space where they can rest, play, and enjoy. If I am in your home, I respect your space and follow any guidelines you set, ensuring your dog feels at ease in familiar surroundings. Additionally, I always carry a first aid kit during walks, stay updated on pet CPR, and ensure pets are never exposed to harmful situations or substances

Information Joshua M. would like to know about your pet

Before starting with a new dog, I find it crucial to know: Any dietary restrictions or allergies. Their usual routine (meal times, walk times). Any specific triggers or fears (like loud noises or other animals). Current medications or special needs. Veterinarian contact information and any specific instructions if there's an emergency. Their preferred style of play and any commands they know. Knowing these details ensures I can provide the best possible care tailored to each individual dog's needs.

A typical day

A typical day with me involves morning stretches followed by a brisk walk to the local park. We might engage in fetch games or practice some basic training exercises (if needed). After some active time, we'll have a rest period followed by a gentle afternoon stroll in the neighborhood. I have a few favorite spots where dogs can socialize, sniff, and explore. Each day is tailored to the energy level and preferences of the dog I'm caring for
