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.

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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!

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!

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.
