Fun loving animal entertainer

Pet care experience

I'm a Stanford Alum who used to take care of pets in the Palo Alto area. I've taken care of small to medium dogs (Shitzu's to Goldens), calm dogs to hyper dogs (love dancing around with a Husky!), shaved cats to fluffy cats, and sweet cats to feisty cats. Love them all so much! Been taking care of family dogs for years but have 2 years of formal experience outside of the family.

Joshua has been my go-to cat-sitter for a few years now and I can't recommend him highly enough! Super communicative and always sends the cutest pictures of my cat playing, getting pets or just hanging out.

Joshua did a fantastic job checking on our cats during our extended time away. He always sends the best pics and communicates on how well they’re being taken care of. I highly recommend him!

Joshua did an outstanding job taking care of our cat LK. He sent the cutest pictures of her capturing her personality and played with her. We will certainly be booking him again!

We always use Joshua when we go out of town. Our cats love him and have become more and more sociable with each visit! He is a great sitter and gives us wonderful updates while we’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment that can host small dogs and cats. In client's home's, I'll carefully follow care instructions from owners on how to maintain safety within the apartment.

Information Joshua D. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know about a dog's level of comfort outside, with other people, and when on walks. Also important to know any dietary restrictions! Among other things, I like to also know about any dog habits that I should keep an eye out (do they secretly know how to open the treat door?!).

A typical day

For dogs: The classic is a good Central Park walk! I love lettings doggos and pups chase animal-safe bubbles. Indoors, I love playing a good hide and seek game with treats. For cats: Must respect cat's rules at all costs haha and will pet them on-demand :)
