Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my own dogs, my families dogs, and neighbors dogs for over 13 years. I walk them, run them, feed them, and bathe them. I absolutely love playing with dogs and taking care of them!

I have been debating for a week if I would write this review and have decided that I need to. These are the facts documented by my conspicuous video doorbell. I hired Josh to housesit from 6-6:30 pm on 10/10 until 6-6:30 on 10/17. At our meet, I specifically addressed how much time he would be spending at the house (he said he would be here most of the time) and the dog walks – I told him I walk the dogs 5 miles a day (1 – 3 mile walk and 1 – 2 mile walk) (he indicated that was not a problem). It would take too long to address all seven days, so I am just going to highlight three of the days. On 10/10, he arrived at 7:00 pm. He took the dogs for a short walk and left at 9:30 – he did not spend the night. On 10/14, he left at 6:46 am, returned at 11:13 am, left at 11:41 am, returned at 4:36 pm and left for the night at 5:47 – he did not spend the night. On 10/17, he left at 6:21 am, returned at 8:02 am, left at 9:26 am. At 4:30 he texted and asked me if there was anything else I wanted him to do before he left (after he had been gone for seven hours). I told him he was scheduled to be there until 6:00 pm so I would like him to walk the dogs and feed them before he left. He returned at 4:44 pm and left at 5:59 without walking the dogs. Over the course of the week, they were taken on very few walks. Josh seems like a very nice person and I think he was good to the dogs while he was here. He just did not do what he told me he would do and on which I based my decision to hire him.

Joshua was an amazing sitter! We threw him a curve ball last minute when our girl had to go to the emergency vet before he kept them, and he was an EXCELLENT caretaker and was super communicative. Will absolutely use him again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to the needs of the dog and the requests of the owners. I understand that I will be going into others homes so I will ensure the safety of the dogs as well as the security of the home. I absolutely love to run so if you would like me to wear out your dog and get it some great exercise I am more than happy to do so. If transporting the dog I will ensure they are well taken care of and always maintain a high level of safety and security in the car or even just walking around the neighborhood.

Information Joshua G. would like to know about your pet

The age and the activity level of the dog would be the most prevalent. If they have any other conditions that I should be aware of I would also love to know that. Should they need special attention I’m happy to take care of them I’d just like to know ahead of time.

A typical day

I love to run with dogs. I’m an avid long distance runner so I’m happy to run very energetic dogs until they’re tired. I also love the dog park and taking them to different parks to enjoy the outsides and other dogs company. Lastly I have a truck and would love to take them to the dog beaches if there are any around.
