The go-to sitter amongst my friends

Pet care experience

I have regularly watched special needs cats and elderly dogs over the past 8 years. This included careful portion control, preparation, and supplemental additions to food, as well as administering pills orally. I have also tong-fed live grubs to geckos. My cat, Winston was born in my room, at my feet, while I was cat-sitting for a friend.

This was the second time I booked Josh to sit for Finn. He followed all directions. Finn was happy and relaxed when I arrived home.

Joshua did great with our dog! He was very communicative when she was being a little stubborn and refusing to go out and took the time to let her warm up to a point of being able to get her out and walk her. We will absolutely be using Joshua again!

Josh was able to be booked last minute over the Xmas holiday. We appreciated his availability. He has a lot of experience with cats. Our cats liked him and they were taken care while we were away. We left detailed instructions in the kitchen and went over things in our greet and meet. However Josh texted us during his visits many times to ask about things clearly stated in the instructions. We were quite puzzled by that. He apologized for not seeing the instructions. The litter was not scooped everyday and it was all over the floor when we came back. There was also unflashed vomit in the toilet. He is a good sitter but seems flustered by many duties during the day. We do not think he is for us.
