A dog is a man’s best friend.

Pet care experience

My name is Joshua & I am 22 years old. I have many years of experience of dog sitting in my time. I have cared for many different breeds & sizes of dogs. Ranging from red nose pit bulls to pugs. I have provided dog walks, feedings, play dates, & personal sit-ins. I have worked in several dog kennels as a vouleteer. I have also have experience caring for other exotic pets. I learned how to handle the boa constrictor, red slider turtles, & parakeets & peacocks. I have personally had many dogs of my own such as pit bulls, Golden retrievers, pugs, chihuahuas, & many many more. I have recently moved to California & I look forward to exploring this beautiful state & I especially look forward to meeting you & your furry friend.

Joshua was so wonderful with our dogs! Our girl doesn’t always take to new people right away but she felt comfortable with Joshua right away. He kept us updated and sent photos too! You can tell that he truly cares for animals and both of our pups trusted him and were well looked after. He was very communicative and easy to work with and we will definitely book with him again!

My high energy pup had an amazing time with Joshua! I could tell she had so much fun playing with him and was loved while I was gone. Joshua was also extremely flexible and friendly when it came to drop off and pick up. Thanks Joshua!

I have never written a bad review to anyone on this site as many times as I have used this site. I myself dog sit occasionally as well, but I would never take my dog back to Joshua ever ever ever again. I arrived to pick up my dog and had to wait more than 30 minutes. I called his rover number and he stopped all incoming calls which was very worry some. I called rover support and they called his home nbr and got no answer. After so much time waiting, someone let us in his complex and we knocked many times on the door, he comes to the door smelling like marijuana. My dogs bed was ripped, I provided a whole role of dog bags and none came back, and the 2 that were attached to his leash had not been touched. This had me question how often he was walked, because why would you not use the bags on his leash, that's the purpose of putting them on his leash. Once we got home, my dog drank sooooo much water, which led to believe he did not keep water in his bowl. (you know your dog). I hesitated to write this, but I thought about other people who may look at this profile and decide to use him and read the reviews. You really need to read reviews even it's just 1 bad so you can make an informed decision. Pets are just like our children!!!!!!!!!
