Safety, trust & environment

I keep my cats to a very strict feeding schedule as I have 5 family members who I live with, which helps keep a certain calm to the storm. They both require medication so keeping on top of that is essential to maintaining a balanced schedule. When caring for other peoples pets, I treat the pets as if they were my own and follow every instruction given like a robot. I’m also very flexible, if one day the pet isn’t up for something I’ll find a good way to substitute their routine.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of various dogs and cats from when I was 12. From neighbors to family and friends, I’ve seen it all. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing a slower pace, I’m able to adapt to their different temperaments, medical needs, and personalities. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets behind. I pride myself on being a proactive communicator, sending frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Your home and pets’ is schedule is sacred. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and follow every feeding/walking schedule to the T.

Had a great experience! Joshua took great care of Carlos and spent extra time playing with him. He sent lots of photos/updates which I really appreciated. Carlos came back happy and clearly had a great time. Would definitely book again!

Joshua is an incredibly compassionate and responsible person who has a natural gift for connecting with animals. He has spent years walking dogs and pet-sitting, showing a deep commitment to the well-being of every animal in his care. Having grown up with cats his entire life, and currently caring for two of his own, he understands the unique personalities and needs that different pets have. Joshua is kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I would trust him with my own pets without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their animals like family.
