Pet care experience

Experienced cat and dog dad

I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own.

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.

Would highly recommend! He did a great job with our very active boxer and we will use him again when needed.

Joshuah was great with my furry girls. In addition, he took it upon himself to do things around the house that were a big help, but not requested. I would recommend him any time.

Joshuah took great care of our cat with digestive issues, and became fast friends with our kinda standoffish girl within a day. Great communication, lots of pictures, we felt super at ease knowing she was in caring hands. 10/10 would rebook.

Schedule

I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behavioral quirks, or things that make them nervous or reactive. I'm comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, but I want to be prepared so I can give them the best experience. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, prefers certain routes, needs to avoid specific triggers, has mobility limitations, or requires medication, I want to know upfront. I'm also happy to work with dogs who are still learning leash manners or building confidence. Clear communication helps me keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy during our time together.
