We’re always outdoors, exploring.

Pet care experience

Hello all, I’m Josh. I recently moved from Chicago to a peaceful community/complex in SE Des Moines. I worked for Chicago Canine Rescue until I stumbled across a dog walker app called “Wag!”. Not realizing how many owners in the city were strapped for time to walks their pets, it turned out to be a great opportunity. After walking my Pit Bull around 5a.m the rest of my day was filled with dog parks, runs along the beach, doggie tours downtown, fitting booties on pups for the icy conditions, and best of all bringing my Pitty along to play with my larger regular clients. I’ve never done anything more fulfilling with my free time and I’m passionate about getting dogs out for a ‘pawesome’ time.

Joshua I believe is one of the best pet sitters I've had watch my pitbull Remy. She lights up every time he walks in and its time for a walk. In my experience with Joshua he seems like a very compassionate person who loves what he does and he loves pets

Information Joshua V. would like to know about your pet

Generally I can get a feel of the dogs demeanor during the initial greeting but a heads up never hurts. I have no breed preferences but I am not put off by the larger furry guys.

A typical day

I’m a stay at home dad so I have ample time for walks, runs, and even intense games of tag in the yard. There’s a path along the river behind my house, making for an easy long walk. I’m also open to following the owners learning regiment for young pups. I believe it to be a priceless experience.
