Pet care experience

Caring Walks by Friendly Retiree

I love animals and easily connect with pets of all sizes. With experience caring for a black lab/shepherd cross and a cat, I know the unique needs of both dogs and cats. I'm adaptable, observant, and patient in pet care, making me a reliable choice for pet owners.

I am very grateful for Josiah and his wife to take care of Mojo on short notice. Mojo was well taken care of and he was returned to me in better shape than when I brought him there. These are very good people you can trust with your loved ones.

Thanks again Mr.Josiah and Sophie for taking good care of Luffy. I'm so relief that he didn't have skin breakouts and for the daily updates videos and pictures. Though I wasn’t able to view some of them, I had the comfort that Luffy’s in good hands. Thanks again and may you have more beautiful pet client to come!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets enjoy a cozy dog pillow, fresh water, and toys. They're treated like family and can play in my securely fenced backyard.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes enjoyable walks around the neighborhood or at nearby parks, and playtime in my securely fenced backyard. Dogs will have fun engaging in fetch, chase, and other games. I love discovering new, dog-friendly spots for our walks, ensuring pets stay active, engaged, and happy.

Before caring for a dog, I find it crucial to know their temperament, special behaviors or triggers, and food or treat preferences. This will help ensure that I provide the best experience for your dog.
