Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’m a full-time dog groomer — my life truly revolves around caring for dogs. I spend my days working hands-on with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, so providing a safe, loving, and structured environment comes naturally to me. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, affection, and care throughout the day as part of my normal routine.

Information Joshua N. would like to know about your pet

Before I start watching a dog, there are a few important things I need to know in advance. First, I should familiarize myself with the dog's medical history, including any allergies, medications, or ongoing treatments they may require. Understanding the dog's feeding schedule, dietary restrictions, and any specific instructions for their meals is also essential. Additionally, I should learn about the dog's exercise needs, including their preferred activities and any limitations they may have. Being aware of the dog's behavioral traits, such as their temperament, socialization level, and any anxieties or triggers they may have, will help me provide a comfortable and safe environment for them. Lastly, I need to ensure that I have all the necessary supplies and equipment, such as bedding, toys, food, and water bowls, to cater to the dog's needs. By gathering this information beforehand, I can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience while watching the dog.

A typical day

Your pup will enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and supervised social time with other friendly dogs. Whether they love to play or just relax and be loved on, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and part of the pack.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Joshua, a full-time dog groomer with a true passion for caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. When your pup stays with me, they’ll be treated like family and receive plenty of attention, care, and love throughout the day. One of the best parts? Your dog gets to come to work with me for supervised social time and playdates with other friendly pups in a safe, dog-centered environment. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or just stay close to people, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I also welcome reactive or aggressive dogs for solo sitting to ensure they have a calm, stress-free experience tailored to their needs.

Joshua was fantastic with our puppy, Raisin. She took to him straight away, which is saying a lot because she’s usually very cautious around new people and doesn’t love being away from us. It was clear she had a wonderful day and felt completely comfortable in his care. He has a natural way with dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. If you get the chance to book Joshua as your pet sitter, definitely do it!

Joshua was fantastic! We had to book last minute, and he was incredibly accommodating with our schedule. My dogs came back so happy, loved, and content. This is the first time they've ever been this relaxed after a stay. I loved that they were never left alone, which gave us huge peace of mind. He sent great photos and communicated perfectly without disrupting our trip at all. Joshua is definitely our new go to sitter in the city.

Joshua was very an accommodating considering it was same day! His dog jack jack and my pup who Is mostly cattle dog got on great and Josh kept me updated on walks, play and eating. He kept my guy busy which is what he needed. Definitely recommend if you’re staying downtown!

Joshua was very communicative and i felt comfortable leaving our pup with him. Felt even better when we knew she wouldn’t be left because his cousin would be there if he wasn’t. He sent pictures and updates. Pick up was stressful, Joshua was gong to be at work and would have to communicate with cousin. Texted her multiple times with no response. Ended up having to contact Josh and wait around a bit till he got a hold of her to bring our girl down to us. He did apologize which i appreciate, not being able to get a hold of person we were supposed to get our pup from at the window of pick up time made me uncomfortable.
