About Josh S.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m detail oriented and can follow instructions to a T. I have no issues reaching out if instructions aren’t clear. Although, I am more than capable of caring for most creatures without instructions, I’d rather keep to their routines. I will make sure the only thing your pet(s) feel like is different from their schedule is that they also get my love while you’re away.

Alright, when can I pet them?!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Having owned cats my entire life, I've picked up a knack for cat whisperering. I know how to read a feline's cues, respect their boundaries, and quickly earn the trust of even the shyest or sassiest cats. I also bring professional dog training experience to the table. allowing me to read your dogs body language and happily reinforce your puppers good habits while you’re away. Beyond cats and dogs, my heart has always had room for critters of all kinds. Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own.

Reviews
Josh has been walking and helping to train our 3 year old Shepard mix, Pogo, over the past several weeks. Pogo has a lot of anxiety, especially around meeting new people, and Josh has been patient and gentle with him, allowing Pogo the time to get to know him and now they are friends. Josh is instilling the training we’ve been working on, helping Pogo to be a calmer dog on and off leash. Josh clearly loves animals and I recommend him if you need a dog walker or sitter.
