I want to hang out with your dog!
Pet care experience
I love dogs! I had several dogs growing up on a farm in southeast Ohio. After moving from the farm to the big city, I wasn't able to have one of my own so I've been dogsitting for friends and acquaintances since I moved to Maryland in 2009. I'm a registered nurse and work 12 hour shifts, so I have time on my off days to walk your pup, give them a treat, hang out and play, and keep your dog company while you're out. We'll go see the sights and sniff the smells in your neighborhood or mine. My schedule changes from week to week, so I'm probably best suited as a backup to your regular dog-sitter or for someone who needs infrequent coverage. I have a diabetic cat and so have experience administering injected and oral medicine to animals safely on a regular basis.
Reviews
Josh has house/pet sat for us several times while we were on vacation. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. One dog has special behavioral needs (extremely fearful pup from a hoarding case) and Josh's gentle and patient nature was critical in earning that pup's trust. (Now he will snuggle with Josh in bed!) The animals love him and he texts us with funny pictures and stories while we're out of town. He's my first call anytime we are planning a vacation.
