Our second time having Josh look after our Nova and Oscar. As always he took great care of them and our home. He sent us photos and videos and it made it so much easier to know that they are in good care. We will definitely reach out to Josh again in a couple of months.

Fantastic experience with Josh! He was highly communicative, very accommodating, and professional. He handled my sweet but reactive girl without any problems. My house was clean and well cared for in my absence. Most importantly, Sookie was happy! The photos and videos showed a dog that was relaxed and content with Josh. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands. I will definitely book with Josh again!

Josh was amazing! He watched our 4 small dogs and stayed at our home for 9 days. He was extremely communicative and sent great pictures! I could tell our dogs were very well taken care of. He left our home immaculate too. We are excited for the next time Josh can watch our pups :)

Josh is amazing, caring and thoughtful. We needed to find someone to house sit our Aussie and a cat. After reading the reviews I reached out to Josh, and we agreed on a couple walks before the 2 week long house sitting. That way we got to know Josh and he got to now our Nova. We couldn't be happier with Josh. Communication was seamless, plenty of photos every day and he took great care of our both fur babies, and the house. We are now looking to book another trip and I have been looking at the dates to schedule it when Josh is available to look after our precious cat and dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a great listener with a knack for attention to details. Whatever rules you have for your home and schedule for your pets, I will sub in to allow you to enjoy whatever time away you need from your animals. Their schedule will not be interrupted and will hardly know your gone, except of course for the bond you share.

Pets

A typical day

I love to find out what motivates a dog. Is it play? Is it food? It's it love and praise? Once I have discovered what motivates them I will incorporate that into our activities on walks or playing outside.
