Flexible Schedule, Cats & Dogs!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a mini golden doodle, Apollo, who's in training to become a therapy dog. He's a year old and loves play. I am retired Air Force, so my full attention will be on your dog and it's needs while you are away. My availability will differ week-to-week, but still plenty of time available and I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I will treat your dog or cat as my very own. More about me: Linktr.ee/caverunner What you can expect from me: - Lots of communication - Photo(s) from my visit - A complete run down of my time with your pet(s)

I hired Joshua to check in on my puppy for two days and he was fantastic!! He is very professional, gives great report cards, and he was very patient with me when I accidentally gave him the wrong door code for my house. I will definitely hire him again in the future. Thanks, Joshua!

Josh is great with the puppy and his schedule allows him to be super flexible. I'll continue to use Josh as long as he's doing River!

I was completely impressed with Joshua watching my little dog. After meeting him and introduced him to my baby, I knew my dog was in great hands while I was out of town. I will call upon Joshua in the future to watch my baby.

Safety, trust & environment

If you decide to let me board you pup then I have a fenced in back yard near Floyd Lamb park, so it is very quiet throughout the day. I will sit outside and supervise to ensure safety and play as needed (e.g. fetch, tugging on a rope, or just relaxing in the sun). I can crate your fur baby as I do mine at bedtime to ensure their safety overnight. I let Apollo out every morning at 4:30 so he can stretch and potty. Then it’s playtime!

Information Joshua D. would like to know about your pet

I would like a quick "meet and greet" so you are comfortable with me and/or my house. This will help me understand your dog's needs while you are away. Do they like the scratched in a certain area or do they enjoy snuggles on a special blanket or have their own toy they carry around. - Background and personality? - Medical issues? - Feeding routine? - Special needs? Please share any additional information you feel is needed to help me provide the best care possible for your best friend(s).

A typical day

I live next to Floyd Lamb Park, so I am able to walk/run around there or just along the neighborhood sidewalks. My backyard is also fairly large, so there is a safe place to play fetch or for your fur baby to sit and relax and enjoy the quietness of the neighborhood. I always bring fresh water and owner-approved treats for activities while playing away from home. It is also my priority to be as prepared as possible for your pet’s care, so I bring a first aid kit with me on our adventures.
