Pet care experience

Experienced caretaker seeking work

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.

Pets

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.

Joshua went above and beyond for my pets. He is extremely communicative and constantly kept us updated. He was great with my pets and even vacuumed our apartment before he left and changed the litter box! Would recommend him to anyone who needs a responsible person to watch their pets.

Josh helped us out in a pinch when a regular sitter was going through a family health issue. He was super responsive and friendly and took great care of our beasts, sent pictures and videos, and was just generally a great person to work with. Absolutely would recommend!

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.
