Pet care experience

Reliable and tailored pet care 🐾

Hi, I’m Josh, and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lot of love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: Gentle strolls for seniors Play-packed walks for energetic pups Cozy care for anxious or shy pets Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched, they’ll be nurtured, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care.

Emmy, our 2 year old Boston, had so much fun at Joshua’s place. She felt safe and loved even though she can be a bit energetic. She made friends and loved all the fetch time she got. We will use Josh in the future.

Josh has dog sat my animals for years now. He is always so patient and kind to them and treats them like his own. I know that my pup is going to be taken very good care of while he's in Josh's hands and so I will always use his services and I would definitely recommend.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Bentley! He treated him like one of his own, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I knew he was happy and well cared for. Bentley came home his usual happy, snuggly self and maybe even a little spoiled from all the love and attention. I could tell he was comfortable and safe the entire time. I’d trust Joshua with Bentley again in a heartbeat

Schedule

I’m home full-time, so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously).

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I work from home, full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we have instant access to Academy Springs Park; just a few steps away, and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛

Pets

A typical day

Every pet has their own set of needs to keep them entertained and occupied. If I am hosting my pet friends I live right next to a nice park with plenty of places to walk around, sniff all the new things and bask in the sunshine. Also, I live close by Chimney Park by the Newton County Public Library where it would be very easy to pop over and stretch the ol' legs. Plus plenty of places around the neighborhood for those quick "I need to get out of the house" walks.

Tailored care is my specialty; every pet I look after gets a customized experience based on their unique needs, quirks, and personality. So lay it all on me: the good, the bad, the weird, the wacky. Got a sock thief? A doorbell barker? A picky eater who only accepts chicken if it’s been blessed by a wizard? Perfect. I’m here for all of it. The more I know up front, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and totally understood while you're away. I follow your routine as closely as possible and adapt to what makes your pet feel at home, even if that means singing lullabies at bedtime or pretending not to notice them side-eyeing me from the couch. Fair warning: they will come home with a full belly, a wagging tail, and at least three new dad jokes. You’ve been warned.
