High‑Energy Dog Walks

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.

Joshua was extremely professional and made sure to send us daily updates with photos! Our 2 dogs had a great time with him and his dogs this past weekend. We will definitely be back in the future!

Josh was great! Very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet beforehand and modifying booking time for an overnight stay for our dog Ozzy, who had a blast making new doggie friends and has been tuckered out from all the fun since we picked him up.

Rosie always enjoys spending time with Josh and his family. He gets enjoys the other dogs and is treated so well. Being there makes me feel less anxious about leaving her!

Shadow had an amazing by time with Josh! Loved all the updates and photos while we were away, we could tell he was very loved and he was very tired when he got home…a win win for sure!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 18, 2026

My 8yo dog Wilbur loved her time with Joshua and Rebecca! We haven't needed dog sitting or daycare often, and I am so glad I was able to find Joshua while in town on a work trip. Wilbur made new friends (she can be a loner but loves people), got out on tons of walks and creeks, and even got to ride in the dog van. It can be stressful finding the right dog care when on the road vs. at home with people you know, and I'm glad Wilbur got to spend a few day care days with this family!

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

Pets

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.

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.
