Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge park across the street that I take my dog to every day. If your dog is not good off-leash, I have a 50 ft leash they can use if they have a compatible vest. My dog is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. She does get very excited when she sees new dogs and people, but I've never seen her be aggressive with any dog or person.

Information Joshua A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what personality your dog has. My I'm used to all kinds, whether is be high energy, big and lazy, cuddlers and talkers. I just cannot accept any aggressive dogs please.

A typical day

I can take them to the park across the street some they can run around and let off steam. If your dog is not off leash ready I also have a 50ft leash they may use as long as they have an appropriate vest. Other than that I will walk them, and play with them at home.

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Josh, and I’m an enthusiastic dog caretaker who would love the chance to take care of your dog. At first glance, you might be unsure if this guy who looks like a pirate can reliably care for your furry friend. Rest assured, I am dedicated to meeting your dog’s needs in a safe and fun environment. I will ensure that your dog feels loved and happy. I prioritize open communication with pet owners to build trust. A little background about me: I currently have a rare brain tumor that makes it difficult for me to hold a regular job. The tumor is stable and only affects my vision in my left eye. I hope that with treatment, I will soon overcome this health challenge so I can return to school to become an MRI technician. In the meantime, I’m happy to work with Rover to save up for that goal. Taking care of your pets would mean a lot to me and would help me progress toward my aspirations. I promise to go above and beyond in my service to show my appreciation. I also have a well-behaved Belgian Malinois named Nezuko, who gets along with all dogs. If you’d like, we can arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand—I’d be happy to do so. If you'd like to see my pup. Thank you for reading, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon!

Joshua was excellent with our little Maltese Kylo. We wanted our dog to have some playing time with another dog, and it was great that Joshua brought his dog, Nezuko, with him. Nezuko is well-behaved, and our dog Kylo had a great time with her. If you are looking for someone fantastic with dogs, Joshua is the right fit.
