Reliable Dog Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hey there, my name is Josh. I offer reliable, safe, and fun care for your dog(s). I am a dependable and trustworthy person who adores dogs through and through. I’m passionate about animals and have extensive experience with a multitude of different breeds. As a former dog owner (George...the world's BEST Boxer) for over 15 years, I know the importance and incredible value of pet safety. I recently relocated to Chicago from Seattle where I was a Foster Parent for a variety of dog breeds and ages. It was my responsibility to foster everything from puppies to senior dogs until we were able to find them forever homes. It was incredibly rewarding and if I owned a home here in Chicago, I would do it again in a heartbeat! Rest assured while in my care, your pet(s) will be treated with the best care, compassion, and respect at all times. As a true dog lover, I am looking forward to providing a safe and fun time to your 4-legged child! When I am not providing care for your pets, I work full-time. When I am not working, I am out exploring Chicago, thrifting for vintage finds, and I am starting to get back into Improv (slowly but surely). I am a huge fan of all things pop culture and trashy reality tv shows. Don’t be surprised if I quote a line or two from them. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

Wonderful boarding experience for my super energetic husky. Upon arrival my dog walked in his apartment as if she was very comfterble, Desi seemed to like him right away! Josh sent multiple pictures while I was away so I could check in and make sure my husky was doing okay. My dog always looked like she was enjoying herself and the atmosphere. Josh was also very accommodating when my schedule unexpectedly changed and I needed my dog to be watched for extra hours. Thanks so much Josh!

As both a puppy and a high energy breed, we know our guy can be a lot, but Josh handled it like a pro. He was friendly, communicative, and took A+ care of our dog! We’d trust him again in a heartbeat.

Josh was responsive, professional, kind, and caring. He took wonderful care of our pit during an evening daycare visit. I would recommend Josh without reservation.

Information Josh A. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but have a special affinity for Boxers, Frenchies, OE Bulldogs, and Great Danes. I am that guys who cancels plans to hang out with dogs! :)

A typical day

Lots of playing with toys and other activities. If the dog likes car rides we will run errands, if not we will pal around. I believe mental stimulation is a MUST for most dogs.
