Caring for animals and humans!

Pet care experience

I’m a nurturing, relational person with many years of experience taking care of animals, petsitting and house-sitting. When I lived in Akron, Ohio, I regularly house-sat and took care of Annie, an adult golden lab while my neighbors traveled 30% of the year. I also visited 2 labs frequently throughout the day for a regular client on several occasions across those same years. I believe that animals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by caring for their needs and fostering a balanced lifestyle for them. You deserves to set the tone about what’s best for your pup - I’ll cultivate a responsive relationship with your pup that creates the best care he or she deserves. I can be that kind of sitter, in tune with the details of your life and your pet’s.

Joshua did a great job with our playful puppy, Bean. He was punctual and reliable. Our puppy immediately took to him! We will be booking him for future visits.

Josh was great in taking care of my dog, Stilo, when I had to go out of town. Stilo is an English Bull Terrier which can be stubborn and rebellious at times even though they're the most loving dogs. But Josh had great rapport and an even better report upon my return. He actually enjoyed the playful/clownish antics of my dog while making sure he was fed, hydrated, and exercised properly. He also interacted confidently and comfortably with my bully which is not always common. Stilo was in a great mood when I got back. Sometimes he can be naturally intimidating but Josh saw through his tough exterior and they got along like best buds to which I'm happy!

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know insights into your dog’s personality! What does he or she like? Lifestyle, diet restrictions, play style, moods, etc. are great information to help me know how to tailor care to your pup.

A typical day

Based on your valued input on your dog’s endurance and stamina, I can take your dog on nice walks in parks attuned to their level of ability. When we’re together, I’ll toss a frisbee or play catch to keep your pup entertained and engaged. I’ll bring water and some spare food in my backpack just in case he or she signals their thirst/hunger.
