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!

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.

Josh was great! We appreciated his willingness to accommodate our minor schedule changes. Our anxious little pups adored him. He was attuned to their quirks and whims and was very kind and patient. When we came back from our activities we found our pups to be relaxed and happy. I can’t say enough good things about Josh. We will be returning again next year and will definitely book again with Josh!!

Josh takes such good care of our dog.... It is wonderful to be able to drop Henry off with Josh, and know that he is so well cared for!
