Josh and Mario have been an absolute godsend for us. we have two large dogs. one is the typical lovable goofy sweet dog (Rosie). the other is more coyote than dog (Raiden). Any sitter can watch a happy fluffball but a rare sitter who understands fear aggression and recognizes dogs are not babies with fur is extremely appreciated. Raiden is very selective in who he trusts and usually takes weeks to earn that trust. Josh was in Raiden's family/friends plan within hours. that's a miracle. And lastly the dogs were very happy during their stay. The daily updates and pictures were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind. Do yourself and your dog a favor and choose Josh for your famiky member. big or small, sweet or ... not so sweet these two accommodate all. oh and someone was always there which is perfect for separation anxiety. Thank you Josh will absolutely use again.

So happy with the care Nori received while staying with Josh! It was so easy to communicate and we loved getting the daily updates with pictures. It was reassuring for me to have someone experienced and comfortable taking care of our old lady. It was clear that Nori was very well cared for and had a lot of enrichment during her stay. Thanks again!

Our original sitter had an emergency, so we had to find a sitter quickly for an upcoming trip. Thank goodness we found Josh! It was lovely having Cherry at a home where only one dog is being watched, so she had all the attention to herself. Josh and Mario were very welcoming and I knew Cherry would be well cared for!

All it took was 36 hours for me to become chopped liver to Marshall! That’s genuinely how amazing Josh & Mario were with him, he didn’t even want to go home. It was his first time staying with anyone but family since our senior pup passed away in September - something Marshall really struggled with because she’d been there since we brought him home. I was super nervous about leaving him with anyone new because of how overly attached he’s been since her passing. My fears have been completely alleviated, Josh & Mario were so great with him, were super flexible with my off hours travel schedule, and sent tons of photos keeping me updated the whole time. Highly recommend boarding with them anytime they have availability!

Schedule

I work from home 100% of the time. I also have the pet care giver certificate and experience with a huge variety of breeds and dogs from pups, to seniors, to high energy, to those who need more chill time with lots of napping, along with those who have medical needs and need some extra care and love.

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of any medication needs required on schedule and can provide very gentle or sensitive handling if she or he is more frail. I can also do pick ups and drop offs.

A typical day

Since I have a big fenced backyard we’ll have fun playing outside, and we can lounge inside and take a nap together, or go on a walk to one of several closeby parks.
