Josh was WONDERFUL with my dog. I fully trusted him to take excellent care of my large breed and occasionally reactive 4 year old. I absolutely plan to rebook with him!

I had a great experience using Josh to watch my dog while I was out of town for a few days. My dog looked happy in all of the pictures he sent! Josh sent great updates about his stay. I will definitely use Josh again!

Josh was so great with Tucker! He took amazing care of him, made sure Tucker was always comfy at home, and gave him long walks every day. Josh was super reliable and easy to communicate with both before and during the stay. I knew Tucker was in great hands! Highly recommend!

Josh did a great job with my dog. He was very responsive and I could tell my dog was well taken care of when I picked him up. I would have him watch my dog again.

Schedule

I do have a full time job, however it is fully remote, so I spend the whole day at my apartment. This gives me the flexibility to watch a pet while on the clock. Some days are busier than others, so a chill pet is preferred.

I live in a 1-bedroom apartment. Dogs ARE allowed on the couch, and I can always put them in a crate if needed! They’re welcome to chill on the couch or sit in my lap while I’m working.

A typical day

I typically play with dogs I watch and take them on walks. I’m additionally happy to take dogs on a run if they’re more high-energy!
