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.

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.

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.

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.

Hands on with patience and kindness with my Senior cat who made a long trip to the area. All is secure and fine in her orbit.
