Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like family!

Pets are my calling, dog walking, pet sitting and dog training is my full time job. I have grown up with pets around me my entire life so I am very comfortable around a wide variety of animals. No pet is too small or too big for me to look after. I have taken care of my friends Hedgehog and a family friends' farm which included horses and cattle. I've even been around guinea hens when they aren't being so nice, and my sister has made it her mission to live in a zoo. I'll take care of them all and hope you choose this pet service for your furry, fluffy, or even scaly, friend. Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from you! Pet care is my full time job, so your will be part of a routine dedicated to the best care for every pet under my care. When I'm in a client's home the pets entertainment is my main goal. Time spent with them napping or relaxing in some way is generally dedicated to learning more about petcare.

Josh was awesome with our animals. It was our first time using a sitter as my youngest who’s now in college did a majority of the pet sitting if I was away. He came out areas of time to make sure it was a good fit. He gave us many updates while we were gone, which I was grateful for. He even put our rooster back in the coop who didn’t have enough sense to stay inside during the snow storm.

I've used Josh twice now, and I won't even consider looking for anyone else. He is punctual. His communication is fantastic. But best of all, he truly loves the animals. He is always quick to give you updates and photos. Pet sitters don't get any better. If you are looking for a sitter, you can stop scrolling now.

Outstanding from beginning to end. From the second we met for an animal meet and greet, it was very clear that Josh loves animals. Communication throughout the whole process was prompt and easy. He left my house cleaner than I left it for him. My critters loved having him, and I have no problem trusting him in my home with my animals. WILL book again .. thanks Josh

1st time having someone other then family watch our doggies. Josh made everything easy and was perfect with our dogs. They loved him. Josh sent us pictures while we were away and it just made us at ease. He communicated fast. Will honestly ask him again in the future.

Josh and my pug, Ethel, got along very well. She seemed to really enjoy her time with him. I appreciated the updates and photos.

Any behavioral issues or special routines you have with your pet are good things to know. When staying with your pet or walking them I like to keep it as regular as when you're with them, or away from them. Leaving for the amount of time you normally do if they're left on their own is always good to replicate.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
