Safety, trust & environment

We have 2 dogs at home, and would come to your home to take care of your fur babies, and give them the love and undivided attention they need.We follow any directions left for feeding and treats. We love to spend time playing, petting, and loving on your sweet pets. We also enjoy exercising and would enjoy walks as well!

Information Joshua D. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know about any conditions, preferences, or particular needs your pet has during booking requests. Knowing what kind of play they enjoy and their typical energy levels/routine throughout the day will be helpful for us to get comfortable with each other. Any special needs and quirks should be made known during the booking period (i.e. slips out of collar, frightened by thunderstorms, gets car sick, excessive barking, digestive issues, aggression during walks, etc). Please share any particular routine or schedule that your dog is used to so that we can be as accommodating as possible. Any and all additional info is welcome!

A typical day

When watching your pets, we will stimulate them with walks, playing fetch, tricks for treats with permission, and giving them all the pets their hearts desire. We can sit with them and relax, or if you have toys for them we can play with them. Who doesn't love tug of war?

Pet care experience

Josh - I've had dogs and cats all my life, and I worked as a kennel technician for Dog Daze for awhile. I'm great with all types of dogs, and can take care of cats too! I used to help with aggressive dogs as well, and know the body languages, to help take care of dogs in isolation. Bethany - I'm a local teacher and mom during the week and have had cats and dogs since I was a kid. I love to volunteer with animal shelters and spend time with all animals. I get along great with dogs and cats and love to help care for them.

Joshua has been wonderful with my two Australian Shepherds! They absolutely love their walks with him, and it’s clear they feel comfortable and happy in his care. I especially appreciate that he gives them plenty of affection—they’re big snugglers, and it’s heartwarming to know they get cuddles and attention in addition to exercise. He is reliable, caring, and communicates well, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.

Very personable, sent lots of pictures, and Savannah seemed very happy and well taken care of when I got back from my trip. 10/10 will book again!
