I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to offer a range of pet care services to meet your needs. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, providing potty breaks, or staying overnight, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pets feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine to keep them relaxed and happy. If they’re with me, they’ll enjoy a safe and nurturing environment. My goal is to provide reliable care that feels like home for your furry friends.

Information Joshua D. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, it’s important for me to know a few key things about your pets ahead of time. This includes their daily routine, any medical conditions or dietary restrictions, and how they typically interact with other animals and people. Understanding their likes, dislikes, and any triggers or anxieties will help me tailor my care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. The more I know, the better I can create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your pets.

A typical day

When I watch your pets, we’ll have plenty of fun together! For dogs, I love engaging in activities like interactive play sessions, long walks to explore new scents, and games of fetch. For cats, I’ll keep them entertained with toys, laser pointers, and lots of cozy cuddle time. My goal is to make sure your pets are not just cared for but also have an enjoyable and enriching experience while you’re away.

Josh is super responsive and was great with our two dogs. He stayed at our house while we were away and the house as well as the dogs were in great shape when we got back. I would definitely ask Josh back again.

Josh was great! He was always on time and my dog loved him. He took my dog on energetic walks and my dog always came home tired. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a dog walker.

Josh and I have been best friends for 20+ years. His attention to detail and ability to follow specific instructions is second to none. He has watched my animals, a dog and cat, several times, and I have never had a doubt that they weren't receiving the care they needed. He’s thorough, prompt, and extremely reliable. If your animals need to be walked, he’ll walk them. If your animals need to go for a run, he’ll ask, “how fast?” Anyone would be honored to have Josh as a petsitter and he’d be honored to be yours!

Josh is a true animal lover! Every animal I've ever seen him interact with love him and he can't help but greet every dog he passes. My cat (who historically doesn't like anyone but me) warmed right up to him and honestly I think he prefers him over me even. I would have complete trust in him to care for any of my pets!
