Pet care experience
I've had cats and dogs my entire life. I have been in the pet care field for 5+ years and counting. I've worked as a dog counselor at TM's Kennel, a doggy day care, located in Methuen, Massachusetts where I helped watch, play, and take care of up to 40-70 dogs a day. I began dog walking for a company called Bluedog Pet Care, located in Andover, MA. There, I was a full-time dog walker, trainer assistant, and frequent house sitter for dogs, cats, fish, and a couple times horses. Also, I worked with a dog walking company in NYC called Barkly, an on demand dog-walking app that covered Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. They all run a complete and thorough background check which is required to pass for employment. I'm also a verified pet sitter on Trusted House Sitters and House Sitters America with plenty of reviews and references. I have experience with positive reinforcement training with dogs of all ages and breeds. Also I'm certified in dog/cat cpr and first aid. I insist on having meet and greets before any boarding/sits are confirmed, and also that you provide proof that your pets are all caught up with their shots, rabies, etc. A simple photo or copy texted will suffice. Thank you. My other previous work experience includes landscaping, house cleaning, and facility maintenance personnel, so I know how to maintain a property, keep things tidy, and fix things around the house if necessary when house/pet sitting in your home, also I conserve utilities best I can. If considered we'd go over your pets general and extensive details. I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Joshua was absolutely amazing! He was great to work with from start to finish. While we were away for our wedding weekend, Penny stayed with Josh and had an amazing time. He kept us posted regularly with pictures and videos and was extremely responsive. When we returned home, Penny was one tired pooch from her exciting weekend away. Anytime we go away in the future and cannot take Penny with us, we will absolutely reach out to Josh again, I would highly recommended him to anyone!
Josh took great care of Jax. He was very responsive and sent video and picture updates everyday.
Sophie is almost 5 months old with limited exposure to other people and dogs. From the very beginning Sophie was comfortable with Josh. She loved playing with the other dogs in Josh's care. Josh sent us videos and photos of her playing and we were completely comfortable with leaving her in such good hands
Joshua was great. Very communicative, has a great set up at his home. Trixie was healthy and happy when I picked her up.

Information Joshua P. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I do like to know of any medical needs or conditions, dietary restrictions, and if they are caught up on their shots, which they must be. If they're well behaved and social with other dogs, and people, off and on the leash. Their potty routine, habits, feeding schedule.
A typical day
We'll walk around the quiet neighborhood where there is barely any traffic. Playing around my large fenced in yard with the plethora of toys I have, and working on tricks as well. I also have an inground saltwater pool that is chemical free, if the dogs like to swim in the hot weather.
