Safety, trust & environment

If I board animals in my home, I have a fully finished basement, seperate and closed off from the rest of my house, to ensure your animals have a private space away from my pets. It is temperature controlled. My yard is not fenced, but I live in a quiet, dead and straight at the end of the street with minimal traffic. I also have outdoor cameras around the perimeter of my home. If housesitting in your home, I will abide by all instructions and all restrictions that in place by the pet owner.

Information Joshua L. would like to know about your pet

It would be important for me to know about any dietary restrictions, medical care, or temperaments of your pets! I would like to know everything I can ahead of time or at the time of the meet and greet!

A typical day

I will provide a lot of attention to all pets, and when it comes to dogs, I can take them to the park if this is a suggestion of the pet owner

House Sitting • Mar 21, 2026

Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is typically very shy to meet new people. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!

Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He did drop-in visit and then house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is shy and usually hides from people. Josh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!

Josh has been one of my absolute favorite sitters. My dog comes running each time he comes over! Even my shy kitten comes out to play when he sits. I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Josh has been the designated caretaker for me and my mother’s pets! He is punctual and loves animals (especially cats). He gives them so much love and my mother has a difficult cat in the sense of odd eating habits and also very anxious and afraid of everything and he is very patient with her and she loves him. He is reliable and a very trustworthy person to allow in your home
