Ratings and reviews
We had Joshua watch our 5 month old puppy for 2 nights and it was the first time we left him with anyoe. Joshua did an excellent job, made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands while we were away, and kept us up to date. Would def recommend!!
Joshua was great. He gave my dog lots of walks each day and followed all instructions He sent photos and had good communication. I’ll definitely use him again.
Joshua is a thoughtful, loving, and conscientious friend. This nature extends to pets as well. I would let him take care of my pet friend.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety for the pet is foremost - more specifically it’s a priority for me to ensure that the house/yard-area is secure. Early on, some animals have a tendency to be startled or skittish. I’ve had a pet-sitter at my house causing my own dog to be lost. This isn’t a situation I’d wish on anyone. Dog-walking: I like to first ask what your boundaries / concerns are regarding your pet. Would you prefer I keep your animal secluded from people, refrained from dog-interaction? Are there any particular places your furry friend prefers over others? I’m more than happy to utilize the local parks to get the dog into open-space, or just take a stroll around the block!
A typical day
I generally take multiple walks a day (with or without a furry friend). Typically, I’ll take 30 minute - hour walk to start the the day. Later on, I will either take a hike (weather permitting), or opt to go to an open space / park -local to my client For my residence, I like Town Centre Park (Corte Madera)
