Experienced Veterinary Assistant
Pet care experience
Hello everyone! I've spent the last 4 years working a veterinary hospital, the last 3 years as a veterinary assistant in SE Portland. On a daily basis, my focus is patient care so I understand the importance of physical and mental health for your loved ones. Prior to my current position, I was a boarding attendant at a facility in California where I took care of 15-20 dogs a day. I'm available for pet sitting/housesitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I do have a vehicle so distance will not be an issue. I do work four days a week, but I'm available for morning and evening feedings and all day for the other three. I do attend OSU full-time, but all my courses are online making it easier to work with many schedules. I've administered medication to cats and dogs as well as many special requests. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions prior to booking. I would prefer your full confidence in my services. **I work 12am to 8:30am at a vet hospital, so please take that into consideration. I would still provide exceptional care during day hours, but I want to be transparent with my work schedule. Thank you :) ***
Reviews
Second time booking with Josh! Wonderful with communication and great with my cats. He was always on time and the house was just as I left it when I returned. He sent daily pictures which were always great to see. Will absolutely recommend!!
Joshua was amazing for watching our two cats. He checked in around the times we requested, sent pictures every day, and left funny notes about them, too. We came back to everything the same just as we left it, the cats were fed and happy! Would absolutely recommend him and will be booking him again on our next vacation. Thanks so much!
Joshua did such a great job. He took the time to send photos of my cats when he stopped by to feed them. I felt really great about their care. Highly recommend!
Joshua was so attentive to our brood! He gave exellent feedback when we returned, as well as sending lots of pics while we were away. We are certainly using him again next month!!

Information Joshua L. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. However, I would like more information about their behavior (human/animal interactions) and general dietary, physical activity level, medications, etc (the important information). Also, there is no such thing as too much information. I would rather you give me plenty information than too little.
A typical day
Based on the dog's activity level and health, I enjoy any activities with prior approval from owner. From walks around the neighborhood and socializing at dog parks to cuddle sessions at home.
