Active, Attentive & Loving Pet Care

I’m a reliable and patient pet caregiver with hands on experience caring for my own sweet dog daily. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of companionship. I live near Walnut Creek Park and take dogs out multiple times a day, making exercise and mental stimulation a regular part of their routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and energy level and treat every animal as if they were my own!

House Sitting • Jun 23, 2026

Josh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!

Joshua arrived a few minutes early and we discussed Parker’s particulars. Joshua was very interested and congenial. We hope to see him again soon!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m a full-time student, which gives me a flexible daily schedule. I also have a dog at home that I care for and take out multiple times a day, so pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I’m very used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and attention, and I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park and a clean, calm home environment. Pets are always supervised and taken out multiple times a day. We also live across the street from Walnut Creek Park, where dogs get regular leashed walks. I follow each pet’s routine closely and prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort at all times.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes multiple potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Dogs enjoy walks at Walnut Creek Park, visits to our apartment’s dog park, and time to explore new smells. I balance exercise, mental stimulation, and downtime so each pet feels happy and relaxed.

It’s important to know your pet’s temperament, routines, medical needs, triggers, dietary restrictions, favorite activities, and how they interact with other animals and people. Thanks!
