Pet care experience

I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding.

Joshua was hands down the best sitter we have had through Rover. He did everything beforehand to make us feel comfortable and got to know our girls in order to make the stay as enjoyable as he could for them. He kept us informed with daily pictures and videos and truly treated them as his own. I would trust him any day with our puppies. We will 100% be using him in the future!

This is a very very late review but Joshua was an amazing sitter! He provided lots of updates and photos of Riza throughout her stay with him and she was very happy when I picked her up. Would highly recommend Joshua - if I still lived in Oakland I would definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you!

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.
