Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Dad with Safe, Fun Home
New-ish to Rover as a SITTER (started March ‘23). Looking forward to opening our home to new friends. Our dog is medium sized, cuddles like a small dog, and plays like a big dog. All dogs welcome here for a chilled out stay while their owners are away. I have a teenage son that doesn’t drive, so I ask for crate trained dogs because we juggle a lot of athletic activities and can be in and out in the evenings and sometimes on weekends. We stay busy!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We have used Josh several times and he always takes great care of our pup! Like leaving your dog with a family member.

Joshua took great care of my geriatric dog, and provided detailed updates during boarding. I strongly recommend his services.

Joshua is a very kind host, great at communication and provides updates for my dog. Joshua is being nice and flexible on picking up time, that really helped us a lot from a last minute plan change on our side. Joshua’s place is also very nice, my dog enjoyed staying there.
My dog had an awesome time. I can tell Joshua really took care of him and that he loves animals! He will be the first person I ask next time I need a sitter!

Joshua took such excellent care of Hobbes! He was able to accommodate a last-minute stay, and was communicative and helpful on every front. We are so grateful to have found such a competent (and very local) dogsitter! Thanks so much, Josh!

I was nervous to leave my dog Rooney for such a long time but Joshua eased all my fears and took such wonderful care of Rooney. My dog had such a great time and Joshua was so timely with detailed updates on Rooney’s health and behavior. It helped keep my mind focused on my trip and not worry about Rooney too much. I would definitely board with Joshua again.

Schedule
I work from home mostly, so if I am accepting guests, you know I am home. We start early most days, and stay up late most days…. But definitely still find time to relax most nights even if it’s on the late side.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If your pet is here with us, he or she is part of our family. I will give plenty of potty breaks, treats, and affection. We're a laid back crew and hope you are too! Our back yard is fenced so we can get outside every day. We also live pretty close to Marymoor so if your pet is good to go for adventures at the off-leash park we may just end up down there running around or swimming especially on weekends.
Pets
A typical day
Our neighborhood is gated and we have many speed bumps, so it stays pretty quite and keeps speeding cars to a minimum. With wide streets we can safely walk up many miles in here without having to go out on busier arterial streets.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyJoshua can host up to 1 pet per night
- Ideally we can have a meet and greet prior to a stay so we can make sure your pet and my pet will get along well. If your dog is even a bit socialized, it should be easy enough to keep everyone happy. Just let me know what your dog's routine is and we'll keep them on schedule.
