Information Joshua J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any particular needs or rules that you have and I will follow those instructions and make sure your pet is well taken care of.

A typical day

I am a very active person. If I’m not on a job helping someone move I am out in the street promoting Small Haul. If I’m house sitting I will walk your dog how ever long you wish them to be walked. For cats I’ll need specific instructions on how they like to be treated/given attention.

I named my dog Happy

Pet care experience

I own a moving company called Small Haul so I am in complete control of my schedule day to day. If you give me a day notice I will be able to accommodate most of your pets needs. When I was 18 I adopted a puppy and I named her Happy. Our time together is some of my best experiences. I learned a lot. Instead of getting another puppy I’ve been dog sitting and walking ever since. I also lived with Santa and helped watch his reindeer and other animals. At one point we had 69 animals on the property.

I’m sad to leave a bad review because Josh is a nice man and Grady really likes him. But he did not keep the schedule we had discussed and Grady was left alone for long hours, leaving my neighbor and So -in-law to let him out in the evenings and feed him once I found out.

JJ has been absolutely wonderful with my Golden Retriever, Porter. He’s watched him for me during long periods of time, and I couldn’t be more grateful. JJ consistently sends updates and pictures, which always put my mind at ease and show just how much care and affection he’s giving Porter. Not only is JJ a responsible and caring dog caregiver he’s also truly a dog lover at heart. Porter absolutely adores him! JJ took Porter on numerous walks, enjoyed plenty of playtime, and outside time. We miss have JJ in CO! HE IS THE BEST :)

JJ always takes the best care of my pup, Luna! She can be shy/timid at first and often struggles with new dogs, making me sometimes nervous to leave her… JJ immediately put those nerves at ease. By the second time I dropped her off, she ran right in the front door like she forgot I existed. I was reassured by the consistent communication and updates— from walks to fetch and everything in between. She always comes back tired and happy! 10/10 recommend JJ
