Information Josh F. would like to know about your pet

Of course want to know about any medical concerns/medication! As for breed preferences, I’m obviously partial to the flat facers, as evidenced by the life-long pug addiction, but am open to all breeds. Miyagi loves big dogs in particular.

A typical day

Miyagi gets four walks a day - when we wake up, lunchtime, dinner, and before bed - and your dog would of course join us on all those.

Pet care experience

Grew up in Ohio with Dobermans and Rottweilers, have had a Pug baby named Miyagi, and have extensive experience as a volunteer at Bideawee, a no-kill shelter in Manhattan with a huge range of sizes, breeds and temperaments. I started walking and sitting dogs when #pimpthepug passed as a means of getting my dog fix when I’m in between projects at my “real” job, which is writing, directing and producing for film - much of which can happen from anywhere, allotting me the opportunity to hang out with dogs all day, every day. That about sums it up, but this text entry box requires another twenty four words before I can click continue so that's what this sentence is here for. :)

Josh was fantastic! Very communicative and good with our dog. We’d happily book him again to watch our girl!

Now that we have a new pup, Josh is still the person we trust to take care of our new baby. Even our new boy Chomp Chomp has his own personality and slightly different routine, Josh easily became Chomps’ favorite guy in our area. Also, I am terrible with grammar, Josh can help me in that area as well..lol

Josh did a great job looking after Yogi and was very helpful and communicative. He provided daily pictures and updates, and he was flexible on the drop-off and pick-up times. Would definitely recommend Josh and ask him to look after Yogi again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
