Safety, trust & environment

We have a large fenced yard that your dog can enjoy. We've had a variety of dogs stay with us either with or without crates and we can create separate areas with gates if necessary. If your dog stays with us, I have a flexible schedule to provide a lot of attention and with a family of 5 there's always someone around to play with, pet, or sit with your dog. Our friendly beagle is always happy to have a new friend to play with and he's more than willing to share our daily walks around the neighborhood with another friend.

Fenced Yard & Daily Walks

Pet care experience

Aside from having a dog in my family my whole life, I've taken care of many dogs over the years. From my neighbor's golden retriever in high school (who I would sneak over to play with when she was out in the yard) to a few dogs in my neighborhood now, I love to get to know the dogs that I help take care of. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting, both in my home and visiting the dog's home. I'm also happy to provide baths and other special care as needed.

Josh was absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was away for the weekend! He was patient, kind, and handled everything with my dogs — even the unexpected messes my dogs left behind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. He kept me updated, treated my dogs like his own, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. I’m incredibly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely kind pet sitter. Thank you, Josh!

Josh does a great job with our occasionally difficult dogs. One of our dogs is pretty shy around strangers but Josh is always very patient with her. Couldn't recommend more
