Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and flexible!
Accepting 2025 Holiday Clients! Book early to avoid blackout dates. Animal care has always been a part of my life. I volunteered at my local humane society for 10 years fostering and doing admin work, even vetting potential new adoptive pet parents. In my home I have my chow/golden mix dog, Baylee, and my indoor farm cat, Iris. They are wildly spoiled. I joined Rover because when I really needed it for a trip there was no one in my area. I offer true in-home boarding, your pet will have the same day they would have at home, no kennels, no crowding, just my home with a fenced yard and a comfy sofa.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Josh was great with our two dogs! They're older and need medications, and he had no problem managing it. He was communicative and I would hire him again anytime.
Josh is awesome and my fellas just love him. Josh continually sent updates and photos and I can honestly say I did not worry about them while I was gone. Thank you for taking such good care of them.
Pups had a great time….. thanks for taking care of them…. I appreciate you
Three stays in, and Josh is officially our go-to. The cats are comfortable, our home is cared for, and his check-ins keep us reassured without being over the top. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.
Good day for the fellas to get to know Josh
Our second time with Josh was just as amazing as the first. The cats adore him, his updates were great, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in his care. Highly recommend.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced back yard and the ability to keep boarded dogs in a separate bedroom from my own pets. I have experience with all pets including fish, birds, reptiles, and smaller pets such as hedgehogs and sugar gliders. I know how to handle these pets and can follow your specific instructions so your pets receive the care you want.
