A chill,calm and loving pack leader

Pet care experience

(Don't pay attention to the response time, i stopped doing this for awhile amid life changing, thanks!) I love animals! Especially dogs, always grew up with them from as far as i can remember. My first best friend @3yrs old was my 100lb chow mix. Now being older and settled we have small furry family with two medium sized dogs that get all the privileges of a human in our house. I ONLY SIT ONE FAMILY'S DOG(s) AT ONE TIME AND DO NOT PLACE IN A CRATE, unless you want that or they are excessively unruly. FREE WALKS WITH OVERNIGHTS My home is quiet and Very stress free. Also i live right behind palmer park and go almost everyday to hike off leash with my dog. I will take yours with if it is ok with you, your decision. Please no unruly, untrained or hyperactive dogs please. If your dog is used to being part of the family and living inside on the couch in a peaceful setting, this is your place. No children or cats here. Spoiled? More like well taken care of! Fun times, proper diet and love is what my dog get and so will yours!! I work from home as a mechanic so will be home most the time but still come and go for errands. You're dog will be free to roam the house and yard with my dog. If you have a large dog that is aggressive i can tell you now they will not get. Anything else isn't a problem. Please note: all new dogs will need to come over for a meet and greet before booking. Since your dog will be completely integrated into the house i do not care for but not limited to: potty trained, barking too much, excessive separation anxiety, chewing on furniture, escape artists, dirty dogs etc. Look forward to meeting ya'll!

Josh is amazing! He teated my pup as one of his own and sent photos/updates the entire time I was out of town. If you're looking for a great pet sitter, I highly recommend Josh!

Josh was great! He took our dogs for hikes and gave us a daily update during our vacation. Our dogs seemed happy when we.picked them up. We definitely recommend him and would use him again.

Allie enjoyed her stay with Josh and his family very much. She was well cared while I was out of the country. Thank you Josh for your attention to being a suburb dog sitter! I am very grateful!!

Allie my dog loves going over to Josh's house!! He treats her like one of his own. And his dogs and wife do the same! I feel very comfortable leaving town knowing that Allie is happy and safe.

We have a quiet, nice home and are inside mostly so I prefer dogs that are used to the same. House broken only please and Destructive behaviors not wanted. Prefer up to medium sized dogs but will allow large dogs if they are calm. No aggressive dogs!

A typical day

I live directly behind palmer park and take my dogs daily for off leash walks unless really bad weather. I will take yours too if that is ok and time permits. Can go outside in fenced yard anytime. Good Treats, meat, bully sticks, no junk. (if thats ok with you) Our Comfy beds and couches are theirs to use too!
