JOSHUH24306 My background: While at WMU studying for my bachelor degree in Behavioral Psychology I worked at the Kalamazoo County Animal Shelter. I am very comfortable working with all sorts of breeds and temperaments of dogs and approach all with love and compassion. I purchased my home in Midtown in 2020 and started pet caretaking full time in 2022. Now, entertaining and working with dogs is engrained in my daily routine. I love to play host to all new furry friends that need a place to hang while their humans are away! I live with my partner, Megan, and together we make every accommodation necessary to ensure guests dogs are comfortable and happy during their stay with us. It is my goal to become a professional dog trainer & I believe this will be very helpful in my pursuit to accomplish that dream. Training is a strong passion of mine. Bonding with dogs through training, and watching their growth and progress is very rewarding to me. Photography has always been a hobby of mine also, and I promise to send you our favorite moments I capture while we’re together along with consistent updates with how their time away with us is going. I'm here for you & your fur children whenever you need me!

Ratings and reviews
Josh always goes above and beyond and Thor has so much fun during his time there!
This was our first time leaving our young dogs home for several days and I was a bit nervous. We did a meet and greet before hand and Josh was completely at ease with a confident and sweet demeanor with the dogs who took to him quickly. He was very attentive to all their needs exceeding so keeping in contact with photos and updates. We will definitely have him back again in the future!
Josh is awesome in providing Doggy Day Care to Jasper! I highly recommend him!
I was able to book last minute and Joshua did a great job with my girl Daisy. She had a blast.
Joshua did a great job watching our great dane puppy. He was well informed and educated about dogs. He did a great job communicating and was very nice. They even sent her home with a Christmas present, that's she loves. Thanks very much!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Josh was amazing with my little babies and took the greatest care with them. Coming home was even a joy. He had taken the time to clean my house and yard better than I do. I could not recommend him more!!

Schedule
The average day we wake up around 7am for our first potty break and breakfast for everyone. Typically we leave for our first “excursion” by 10am. Our excursions include anything from walks around Midtown, visits to Fallasburg Park, or a car ride to Lowe’s on a rainy day. In the late afternoon/evening we also go for another adventure, usually to a place where we can run around a lot, and then dinner around 6pm. Last potty break is typically 10pm.

Safety, trust & environment
We take great care to make a relaxing, fun, and safe environment for dogs that choose to stay with us. I have a fenced in backyard and other dogs to socialize your dog with.

A typical day
I am an avid hiker and love going on walks through neighborhoods. I am excellent at frisbee and playing toss! Car rides are a favorite as well. At the “GR Hostel for Hounds” (aka our home =P) the freezer is always stocked with peanut butter Kongs and we have lots of interactive treat toys to play with.
