I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular potty breaks, playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I can easily fit their routine into my day. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible scheduling whenever possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level, use positive reinforcement, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the same respect I would expect for mine.

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to know as much as possible about their routine, personality, and needs. It’s helpful to know their feeding schedule, bathroom routine, energy level, favourite activities, fears, medical needs, allergies, and how they do around other animals or people. I’d also like to know any house rules, walking preferences, crate routines, commands they know, or behaviours I should watch for so I can keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

A typical day

A typical day would include plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets regular bathroom breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I love helping dogs stay both physically and mentally stimulated through games, sniff walks, outdoor time, and lots of affection. Depending on your pet’s energy level, we can enjoy walks around the neighbourhood, explore a nearby park, play with toys, or have a calm, cozy day with plenty of cuddles and rest.

Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

Pet care experience

I have always had a love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I am patient, reliable, and caring, and I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities, whether they are playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or just looking for some calm company. I am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they are my own. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Josh is great! The dogs absolutely loved him. He was playful and kind. My doggos could not get enough of him. I would highly recommend!

I can't recommend Josh enough! He took such amazing care of my two cats and my dog while I was away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were with him. He kept me updated, treated them like they were his own, and it was obvious they were happy and well cared for. I came home to three very content fur babies! If you're looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals, Josh is your guy. I'll definitely be booking him again!
