Safety, trust & environment
I’ve worked with dogs across every temperament - from wind‑shy pups to strict no‑contact dogs to social butterflies. I adjust my handling style to match each dog’s comfort level and safety needs. Clear routines, calm structure, and individualized care guide every decision I make. Your dog’s safety and emotional well‑being always come first

Information Joshua P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are special considerations, such as leash reactivity, dog reactivity or your pup will eat any poop they have access to.
A typical day
May 2026 Update: We've installed a fence around the front yard, giving us fenced in space directly off of the house. Activities are greatly driven off of an individual dog's personality and needs. Some dogs want nothing but to have a ball thrown for a hour, others are perfectly happy with a quiet drive around town.

High‑Energy Dog Walks
Pet care experience
I specialize in dogs who need real exercise — not just a slow neighborhood loop. If your dog is high‑energy, athletic, or a working breed, I offer fast‑paced walks, joring sessions, and trail adventures designed to burn energy and build confidence. I grew up with a Husky/Malamute mix and have lived with high‑drive dogs ever since. My partner and I have fostered around 35 dogs, and I’ve cared for hundreds more through walking, boarding, and sitting. I’ve worked with every personality you can imagine — anxious, reactive, social, senior, and everything in between. My approach is structured, safe, and tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs a power walk, mental stimulation, or a full adventure outing, I make sure they get the right balance of exercise and calm.
Reviews
Joshua is great! He generally cares for the dogs in his care, is prompt, great communicator and his home is perfect for exercise playing and being around other dogs. I was worried about Rosie because she is anxious but she did great. The van he picked her up in was safe and he secured the pets well
Josh did an amazing job taking care of Tucker and Henry.
I cannot recommend Joshua enough! I am always a bit nervous leaving my dog with someone new because he can be quite a handfuL, He has a tendency to be difficult and is a notorious flight risk. Joshua handled him with incredible patience and skill. I use a GPS and step tracking collar, so I was able to see firsthand that he was being taken on extensive outdoor walks throughout the day. It was such a relief to see him getting so much exercise and mental stimulation. By the time I picked him up, he was "exhausted" in the absolute best way possible; just happy, calm, and tuckered out. If you are looking for a sitter who is responsible, active, and capable of handling dogs with challenging behaviors, Joshua is the one! I will definitely be booking again.
Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!
