Pet care experience
I have lived with and cared for as many as 4 dogs at the same time over the past 14 years. I have rescued young dogs as well as seniors and am experienced in providing exercise, attention, and love as well as monitoring a variety of health and behavioral issues and administering common medications. My wife, Abby, and I are both certified in animal first aid and CPR by Dove Lewis Animal Hospital. Abby and I currently have two dogs, Pinot and Orville, who are our pride and joy. They both get along great with other dogs and love playing in our back yard as well as local dog parks; they love meeting new friends, and are adept at adjusting their play style to dogs of all sizes, ages, activity levels and temperaments. That being said, if your dog is young, rambunctious and loves to play, Orville will provide the perfect foil; you can expect a tired pup upon your return. We love having dogs in our home and take pride in the care we provide. If you are new to Rover, ask me about a promo code to save $20 on your pet's first stay with us.

Man, ya'll did a great job looking after our dog Bowie and keeping her entertained. I've never seen her that worn out and calm before, which can only mean she got her fill of running and playing with the other dogs while we were away... thank you for providing the perfect environment for our SUPER energetic dog and taking care of her. We will definitely be calling on you again
Sunny LOVES staying with Joshua. Seriously he comes back the happiest dog!!! We are so grateful to have them just around the corner.
Josh and Abby were fantastic! They did a great job of making sure our anxious dog Rex felt comfortable and got along with their dogs while we were away. The meet-and-greet ahead of time was really helpful to get a sense of how they (and their dogs) would interact with Rex. It seems like they really understand and care about dogs. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout the week. We're planning to schedule a second stay for Rex soon!
Josh and his girlfriend were wonderful dog sitters! My dog played for hours and hours with their dog Orville and had so much fun! Josh sent plenty of updates and pictures of my dog which I really appreciated. I would definitely have them dog sit for me again and would recommend them to anyone.

Information Joshua C. would like to know about your pet
I want to know what your dog needs to stay happy and healthy. Does your dog follow a strict eating/exercise schedule? Are there any behavioral issues I should be aware of, and what can I do to reinforce the training you have been providing? I will want to introduce Orville and Pinot to your dog before we decide mutually that the fit is right. I prefer to meet at the Brentwood Dog Park, then head to my house 3/4 mi away to discuss the details of your dog's stay, but I am flexible if you wish to meet and greet at a location that works better for your dog.
A typical day
We'll go on walks around Woodstock, play in the yard with Pinot and Orville, go to the dog park, snuggle on the couch, and possibly go day hiking when the weather is nice. Let me know what activities your dog normally enjoys and I will do my best to replicate your routines.
