Pet care experience

Hi! I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming your best friend into my home, or caring for them at yours! You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own.

First time using Rover and Josh was the best with communication and photos while I was out of town, making for a worry free experience. Highly recommend Josh.

This is the second time that we have left our German Shepherd, Razor with Josh. I simply can’t say enough good about the care he gets from Josh. He is wonderful dog sitter who puts so much care into taking care of Razor. Always asking how to make him more comfortable and even will go out of his way to make sure he eats. Josh loves and knows dogs. He is an excellent dog sitter who will truly care for your pet.

Josh was amazing with our 1 yr old golden doodle while staying at our house for a weekend. Louie got multiple walks a day. We got updates several times a day with pictures….always a smile on Louie’s face. Thanks Josh! Looking forward to our next booking.

Information Josh N. would like to know about your pet

I only accept ONE/your dog at a time, and also do not have any pets of my own. Your dog will receive exclusive one-on-one care for the entire duration of their stay. I try to be very flexible and accommodating. I live alone and work from home, which allots me a very convenient schedule for attending to your fur baby. I recommend meeting prior to booking your first time to ensure it's a good fit. Thank you for your consideration! -Josh

A typical day

I vow to give them 1 - 3 (depending on their needs) walks a day, regardless of weather! Also, any activity is possible; going for runs, to the park, playing fetch...And of course, if they just want to relax and sleep, that's good too!
