Pawsitively Perfect Pet Care

Pet care experience

From my earliest memories, I've always had a genuine love for animals. Nine years ago, I met my wife, who brought her expertise from the veterinary field into our shared passion, leading us to establish a successful side pet sitting business. We've dwindled down on the pet sitting due to a new career opportunity for her, but I'm ready to get back in the business! I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits, and I am well-versed in medication administration. Whether it's overnight stays in the comfort of your home or daily visits, I'm proud to say I provide exceptional care that will make you feel at ease while you're away. Let me be the reliable, caring presence your pets deserves.

Josh was an absolute life saver. We had a Dog Sitter (non rover) that was not coming to take care of the dogs. I messaged Josh the night before and he dropped everything to immediately go and take care of the dogs. He cleaned up everything and put them at ease. They were frantic when he got there after being left alone for so long and he calmed them down. Hes a very professional and takes the health and safety of your animals very seriously. Going out of town and leaving the dogs at home is very stressful and having someone that goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease is very rare. Highly recommend !

Josh was a fantastic sitter! He spent the night at our house and never left our dog alone for more than 4 hours. We came back to a clean home with the trash taken out and the bed made. I would recommend Josh to anyone!

Josh was wonderful with our dogs and we appreciate his thoughtfulness with our home. Our dogs seemed happy and very content when we came home from our vacation. This gives us a huge peace of mind knowing that they are in safe hands.

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.
