Safety, trust & environment

My style is generally to be the least bit intrusive as possible. Most pets have their routines and schedules, and I’ve found that sticking to them as much as possible can help to ease what might already be a stressful situation for them.

Information Joshua L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, preferences, and triggers, as well as ways you’ve learned to manage them. The more I can keep your pet in their usual routine, the better things will be.

A typical day

Whether we’re playing with toys, running around the park, or just going for a nice long walk, I try to match my energy to the personality of the animal.

Experienced caretaker seeking work

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of just about every common household pet you’d encounter, from dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters to birds, reptiles, and amphibians :) I’m experienced with socializing cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, with more experience being with dogs but my recent time has been mostly cats.

Josh came on short notice and quickly bonded with my doggo. He was on time, communicative, and friendly. Would hire again!

Josh helped me out when I went on vacation for a week! He stayed at my house while I was away. Not only were my cats VERY well taken care of, but so were my plants, fish, house and mail! Ollie is typically very scared of people, but she warmed up to Josh right away. Even more miraculous, I have a feral indoor cat (long story), that even came out and got within petting distance, something that took me 6 months to accomplish. Josh truly cares about animals and if recommend him to anyone.

Joshua has cared for my pets many times and I would happily reccomend him. He exhibits a remarkable patience for animals that I have seldom seen in others. In my time knowing him he has kept a wide variety of pets to an impressive standard of care, one that I myself as an experienced pet owner, have not always been able to uphold. Attentive, kind, and follows instructions. He has cared for my cats, dog, and African Grey parrot. I really couldn't reccomend him enough.
