Carefree Walks, Sits and Trainings!

Pet care experience

I have been in the animal care industry since I was 12 years old. My father managed a pet resort for 15 years and I followed in his steps. I've learned over many years how dogs think and react to almost any situation. From being in charge of large 45 dog play groups, to individualized care for elderly/terminal dogs, the care and respect I put into care for pets is something I want to share with as many people as possible. My family and I travel in a skoolie so boarding services are unfortunately not available but I would love to walk, train, bathe, play and love on pets! I have a cute red car that will be able to get me to your house for any of your pets needs. I am able to provide some medical services such as: pill administration, subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, and other at home medical treatments. Bathing is a service that I am able to provide save that the dog does not have overly matted fur. Pad trims, nail clipping/grinding, anal gland expression, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning are services I am able to provide as well. I am not a certified trainer but I do have training enrichment experience. Training services are a la carte and require consultation prior to the first session.

Josiah is great! I have known him for nearly a decade and have seen his love and compassion with each animal he interacts with, treating each pet as if they were his own. He is reliable, hard-working, punctual, and super fun! He has a keen eye for detail and is able to keep up with tedious medication and feeding schedules. Highly recommend! Your pets will have a blast!

I have seen Josiah work with family dogs and client's dogs-- all of which loved him! Josiah not only has good people skills but he has great dog skills, also! He knows how to be around dogs, the do's and dont's, the attention and love dogs need and want, and how to be a friend to dogs. I recommend him because he's knowledgeable and has worked with dogs for over a decade. He may be young but that means he can play harder with the pups.

Josiah's been around dogs since he was 8yrs old. Worked at a kennel as soon as he was able to. His very passionate about dogs and treat them as his own. He had knowledge on how to handle any kind of dogs or demeanor of the dog from some training. This trustworthy and reliable.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not able to care for pets in my home but any job I do, safety is paramount. When I was a kennel supervisor safety was always first and foremost in my mind. I've written SOPs regarding pet safety in regards to both physical safety and emotional safety.

Information Josiah E. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know as much information as possible! Dogs and cats are able to gather and process so much information so quickly that I'd like to make sure I have a head start when meeting them. The only restrictions I impose are safety related. If there is a chance that an animal or person could get hurt, some services may not be available.

A typical day

We can walk wherever you feel your dog will be most comfortable. Multi walks are optional if you'd like your dog to have some friendly interaction. Basic training is always a fun activity to stimulate a dogs mind and body!
