My first friend was a furry friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Joshua. I am a college student at Northern Virginia Community College. I am also a preschool teacher; I’ve been working with children for about four years. I’ve been walking dogs since 2016 as well as pet sitting. I have excellent customer service and have years of training and experience working with pets! I look forward to meeting your four legged friends!

Joshua was able to watch our pup at the last minute after someone else canceled on us. Super helpful and flexible.

Joshua has been my go to dog sitter/walker for years and he is amazing! I have 3 large dogs which can be tough to handle if you don't know what you're doing but Joshua handles them with ease. I always have peace of mind when leaving my babies in his care. I have had many dog sitters over the years but none of them were as good with them as Joshua. I highly recommend him for the job!!

I love Joshua! Went out of town last week and he came over to watch Delilah. She's my best friend and I was weary on who to leave her with.. he went above and beyond and now anytime I leave town I know she will be in safe hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I notify the owner that I have arrived. If I’m walking a dog the first thing I do is get them ready for their walk. Afterwards I refill the food dish as well as the water. If I have any questions I always ask the owner before I continue the routine.

Information Joshua W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know his/her diet schedule, walk routines, if he/she is aggressive towards other dogs, animals or humans. allergies, and other basic knowledge to maximize the pet sitting experience!

A typical day

I love to take long walks and if there’s a nearby park I always try to take the dog over there. We play for a little bit and then start heading for home.
