Dog Walking Archaeologist!

Pet care experience

Devoted father to two energetic puppies (a 1 year old Shetland Sheepdog and 3 year old Lab/Beagle mix) looking to spend even more time with humanity's best friend. I have cared for dogs all my life, ranging from small Yorkshire Terrier puppies 8 weeks in age to older Rottweilers enjoying their twilight teen years, and firmly believe these experiences have filled me with essential knowledge and wisdom to help care for anyone's furry family member. When it comes to dog care, I firmly believe an active, mentally stimulating lifestyle ensures a well-mannered, happy companion every day and night. Therefore, every visit I have with dogs (including my own) is filled with some basic obedience training - specifically sit, down, stay commands - in order to ensure their minds, along with their bodies, receive the necessary exercise they deserve. I am an avid walker/hiker that thrives on the company of canines (usually more than one at a time!) during my daily explorations of local neighborhoods and parks. If you want your furry family member to feel the nice warm rays of the sun, discover new favorite stomping grounds, or hear a fascinating history lesson as they are being pampered in the comfort of their own home, look no further! I am a local archaeologist from the College of William and Mary that currently works primarily from home with a great deal of scheduling flexibility. I am able get around town with very short notice during weekdays and weekends during my hours of availability. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I am very amenable to personalized requests!

This was our first experience with Rover.com. Josue came to our house for a meet and greet and instantly bonded with Charlotte, our basset hound. While we were out of town he took wonderful care of Charlotte, taking her for long walks and feeding her (and keeping us updated with pictures!) I would absolutely recommend Josue. I felt comfortable leaving Charlotte in his hands.

Information Josue N. would like to know about your pet

Are there any medical issues (e.g. allergies, sensitive skin, or eyesight issues) that I should be aware of? Does your family member have any dietary restrictions? How does your dog(s) behave with other animals? Are there any special "rituals" that your dog enjoys (e.g. a treat after a walk or maybe some tug of war)? Is your puppy crate trained? If not, is there any special instructions I should know before leaving him or her after their visit?

A typical day

In addition to walks around the neighborhood, I am more than happy to take your puppy to other locations around town to take in some sun and fresh air (if time allows). Places of Interest for walks or hikes: Waller Mill Park, Kidsburg Park, College of William and Mary Campus, Downtown Colonial Williamsburg, or any other pet-friendly hot spots. Feel free to inquire about additional locations! Additional activities available: Dog Park- if you care to have your pup socialized while you are away, I have access to a small, newly renovated dog park! Basic Training- I always ensure each dog I care for works on basic sit, down, and stay commands to ensure their minds, and not just their bodies, receive some exercise. Playtime- Does your dog enjoy tug of war? fetch? running wild? Let me know! I would be glad to play their favorite game with them.
