Dog lover in Monterey!

Pet care experience

I'm a dog lover in Monterey. I walk my charges 3 times a day. I have a lot of knowledge on dog behavior and go above and beyond just giving your favorite canine some company while you're away. You go have your fun while your dog does the same! Why I love dog sitting For more than 23 years I've been owning, training or volunteering with dogs. Meet my pets I do not currently have a dog of my own which wouldn't be feasible when house/dog/cat sitting away from home. My experience administering medication Yes, oral and injections.

Josh was great! He was able to come and stay with Arthur very last minute and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’d definitely book again!

I am now from Oregon and returned to San Diego for about six months of medical treatments at Scripps. Suddenly, none of my close girlfriends could care for Monty for the entire day of my fourth chemo infusion. One of my core girlfriends told me that she'd had great success using a website named Rover.com. It was with trepidation that I went through the sign-up process to join Rover, as my 15-month standard poodle puppy had only ever been away from me while being cared for by one of my close girlfriends. But after I went through the sign-up process, up popped Joshua's profile, and I just could feel from what he wrote about himself that he was the one! I wrote Josh via the Rover portal, and he answered that he was available for most of Friday. So, I only had to find a girlfriend who could spend the first hours of the morning with Monty. My girlfriend told me that when Joshua arrived, Monty seemed really thrilled to meet him, and when I arrived back at my hotel after a very long day of receiving the chemo infusion, Monty was a calm and thoroughly happy 15-month-old "teenager." I couldn't be more pleased with the way Josh cared for Monty, as Monty was just so obviously thrilled to be around Josh. Based on this experience, I would absolutely recommend Joshua and Rover.com to anyone who needs an excellent, experienced pet sitter on short notice. Thank you Rover.com! Thank you Joshua for working your pet care magic on Monty!

Josh was fantastic!! He was super reliable and able to help us out really last minute. We don’t trust our dog with many people, but fully trusted Josh to watch Shiloh. Thanks so much Josh!!
