Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to stay at a client’s home to care for their pet. I like to be very respectful of people’s homes and keep everything clean and tidy. I’m always able to adjust my schedule to suit what the pet needs. For a dog, I like to start the day with a walk in the morning and make sure they get good exercise and play time. For cats, I’m sure to be conscious of their feeding schedule and give them lots of love and attention throughout the day.

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I’m more than happy to accommodate if they need medicine or are on special diets.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs outside and give them plenty of attention and play time. I’m happy to take them to parks and or their favorite spots in town. If you have a cat, I make sure to give them plenty of attention and playtime with their favorite toys.

Blair and Josh were incredibly caring with my cat Willow! They sent pictures of her everyday and worked around my times for pickup and drop off. They love animals and I will certainly trust them to take care of Willow again.

Joshua and his girlfriend took great care of my cat, Zelda. They were very patient with her since she’s shy, and they kept me updated with messages and pictures. I felt really comfortable leaving her with them and would definitely recommend them. 🐱💛
