Joshua is great. I had to go out of town for a family emergency on short notice. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little nervous about it, but I didn’t have much of a choice. I messaged Joshua and he immediately messaged me back saying he was available. He offered to come over just 20 minutes after I first messaged him to do a quick meet and greet with the dogs. My pups pretended to do their guardians of the house routine but Joshua won them over in about two minutes flat. During my entire trip, Joshua was very communicative. He sent me a video every morning and evening so I could see how the dogs were doing. The dogs were pretty depressed looking on the first couple of days, but by day 3, I could see their tails wagging. Joshua was such a neat houseguest, too. I could hardly tell that anyone had stayed there. He even took out the trash before I got home. I’m very happy with this experience and I’d be happy to book with him again.

Josh house sat my pitty for 4 days and did an amazing job! The 2x daily video updates were a great touch, and put my mind at ease seeing my boy so happy and cared for while I was gone. I arrived home to a clean and tidy home and a happy pup, and I will definitely be booking Josh again in the future!

Josh was absolutely amazing. We were gone on a 2 1/2 week trip out of the country and were nervous to find a sitter. We have a large GSD, and he took the best care of our pup! Daily am and pm updates, and even went above on beyond with random asks like watering our plants and bringing in the mail. We are SO happy we found josh. Our pup absolutely loved him and we could tell he was well taken care of

Highly recommend!! He watched my golden retriever on last minute notice. Was a great communicator and left me with a lot of peace of mind that everything was well taken care of.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
