A biologist with a love for animals
Pet care experience
I have taken care of many kinds of dogs since elementary school, from big dogs, to little ones. Now, as a college grad with a biology degree and as a Veterinary assistant, I can confidently say that my genuine love for all animals has lead to me becoming a great care giver and ambassador for them! I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, amphibians, rodents, and any other type of pet you can think of. I am also an aspiring wildlife vet and have a great knowledge of not only how to care for dogs, but what the BEST ways to care for them are, including how best to train them! As a Veterinary assistant, I have furthered my knowledge of what is best for cats and dogs and how best to care for them, no matter their age and health needs.
Reviews
Josh has been our pet sitter for over 10 years. He has a heart of gold, a reliable and dependable person, who absolutely LOVES animals. Josh definitely has a gift, he not only understands animal behavior, but also knows how to train a virtually untrainable breads, our Bichon Frise pups, and does it with such joy, it’s infectious. We could never ask for a better sitter and walker for our babies, because Josh has always surpassed and exceeded our expectations, more importantly, our dogs LOVE HIM. There’s no greater joy to know your babies are in the right care, loved and cared for like you would care if them yourself. I will never hesitate to recommend Josh, so long as he keeps time for my family members too! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I may not be able to bring your dog to my small apartment, that just wouldn't be far to them, but I am 100% willing to come to you and take care of your furry family members! I'll even take them on hikes, if given approval (I have a dog seatbelts in my car for just such an occasion).
Information Josh G. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, but I would like to know an medical history I should be aware of, as well as vaccine history, in case I have permission to bring the dog hiking or to a dog park. Same goes with cats! It is important for me to know their medical history to understand a clearer picture of what is the best way to care for them.
A typical day
A dog under my care can look forward to hikes and, if given permission and up to date on vaccines, I could bring them to the dog park and even to hang out with my girlfriend's dog Stan, who is extremely friendly and loves all other dogs!
