My Routine For house sitting, I typically return home for 1-2 hours in the evening to recharge and spend time with my dog. I will only do this after your pet has been fed, walked, and settled for the night. This brief time ensures I come back refreshed and at my best for your pet

Client Fit & Home Standards: I’m selective about the clients I take on because the well-being and safety of both your pets and mine are my top priorities. I focus on working with pet parents who value mutual respect, communication, and a clean, comfortable environment. I maintain a tidy home myself and bring that same care when staying in someone else’s space; respect and comfort go both ways!

Pet care experience

To ensure we're a great match and save us both time, please take a moment to read my full profile before requesting to book. Pet Care Philosophy I bring over two years of experience as an investigator on Rover’s corporate Trust & Safety team, along with a background as a nursing assistant. This combination gives me a strong focus on safety, compassion, and consistency in every pet care situation. My experience allows me to comfortably care for pets with special needs and administer oral, injectable, or topical medications. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. If you have any other type of pet, please reach out to discuss their specific needs. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, even if the backyard is fenced. I also follow clear safety protocols set by Rover corporate to keep your pet secure, comfortable, and happy. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pet feels safe and loved; just like they would with you. I always begin with a meet and greet to make sure we’re a good fit and to learn about your pet’s unique needs and personality. This is also a vital time for you to ask me any questions and ensure you are completely comfortable with the care plan. I’m selective about the clients I take on because the well-being and safety of both your pets and mine are my top priorities. I focus on working with pet parents who value mutual respect, communication, and a clean, comfortable environment. I maintain a tidy home myself and bring that same care when staying in someone else’s space—respect and comfort go both ways!

Josh is such a great sitter. He is so thoughtful with our home and pets. We have hired him multiple times, and he most recently took care of our elderly dog and newly adopted cat. He is wonderful with both animals, sending regular updates and taking great pictures. He has no issues navigating our older dogs somewhat complicated medication regimen and gives her all the extra love and attention she needs. Both our pets absolutely love him, and so do we!
