Hello! My name is Joshua and I'm a huge animal lover (and, thankfully, it's reciprocal!).
I am a freelance writer and editor, so I most often find myself working in a park this time of year, which means I'm the perfect Pawshaker -- companionship for your pet (and me!) with loads of attention bestowed upon your favourite family member (shh, I won't tell your kids).
Due to the nature of freelancing I'm available most times, can collect or sit from your place, or happy to meet you curbside -- I live right at Taylor Square (Bourke and Campbell Streets). My building has a small patch of grass, but this time of year there are so many lovely walks to be had and parks to play in; if your pet likes to play outdoors, we're a perfect fit. Alternatively, if your's is an indoor friend, I've got you covered -- a comfy bed for her/him to lounge on while I tip tap away on the computer, always in eyeshot. Happy to have overnight fur friends as well (I live alone, so it's a peaceful, pet-friendly pad). Happy to share more details so you feel confident that I'm the guy for you.
Dual citizen (USA/Australia), and missing the pets I loved in NYC, so looking to share that love with the locals :)
Walks can be as long or as short as your pup likes best; I love good, hour + long walks, but some dogs prefer a short excursion to do their business and get back inside, and I can accommodate. I'll be with your pet the entirety of the day. My availability is open.

Can't recommend Josh highly enough. He was a great communicator, loves dogs, took care of my little girl. So happy with him.
