Caring, Easy-Going Dog & Cat Helper
Pet care experience
I have never NOT had multiple animals in my home. I have cared for other people's animals throughout my whole adult life. I have medically cared for senior animals and "special needs" animals. I served a 12 year career as a fulltime firefighter EMT, which translates to this as having common sense, calm reactions, and basic medical knowledge.
Reviews
Joshua took his time talking to me; he introduced my pup to the dogs, showed me where he would be allowed (backyard, downstairs area, etc), and answered any questions I had. He also asked questions which reassured me that he would be prepared to handle things. He sent updates and pictures to calm my nervous - much appreciated! Couldn’t have been happier with how it went and met a super nice family in the process! Branscomb had an awesome stay and will be back
About Joshua L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a sitter/walker, I am physically strong and mentally relaxed enough to deal with any setting I am put in. I am used to going into other people's homes and can be trusted to handle situations on my own as the needs arise.

Information Joshua L. would like to know about your pet
I have no preferences or fears of any breeds. I avoid traffic as much as possible when walking dogs and I go slow when getting to know them. Nothing really bothers me, especially medically, but I am not formally trained on how to inject a dog with medication. Do I know how to do it? Yes. But I am not *formally trained and certified* to do so.
A typical day
I like to play with dogs as hard or as gentle as they want to play; they don't scare me, and I do not push them. As much as I love dogs, I am even "more" of a cat person, and will snuggle them and give them however much attention they want in that particular moon-phase. :)

Availability
I am a full-time home maker and therefore my ability to get up and go to pet-care appointments is very open and flexible. I can easily accommodate just about anything.
