Information Josh P. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know any pertinent information about your pup. What does their typical day look like, and what are your expectations for their care.

A typical day

Walks, hikes, ball throwing and belly rubs. My dogs love relaxing under the oak trees, watching or chasing the birds/squirrels/turkeys on the property. In addition to whatever other needs they may have! Also more than happy to work on obedience and behavior issues when needed!

Josh’s place is the best! Wiggins always comes home happy. Josh is attentive and is clearly a dog whisperer. Highly recommend.

John was communicative, sent pictures, and had a wonderful place for my very active dog to stay while I was out of town. I would recommend him to anyone!

Josh was excellent with our dog. He recognized her needs and did a great job at caring for her and communicating with me during her stay.

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