Pet care experience

Mindful Mutt Pet Care

Hello, I'm Joshua, and providing compassionate, mindful pet care is my commitment to you and your pet(s), and myself, each and every visit. As a pet owner and pet care provider, I understand that following through on veterinarian orders can be challenging. I am comfortable with special needs seniors; giving oral medication; helping with diet control; and giving your pet(s) the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be healthy. During my visit with your pet(s) or when your pet(s) come to visit me, I utilize low-stress handling techniques that can extend to other pet care services such as basic training or standard grooming.

Joshua was great in taking care of our Caspian (cat). He came on time, was very attentive and caring. This was our first time leaving the cat on an extended trip and we were worried but Joshua was there for us and kept us informed along the way. I highly recommend Joshua! He is the best! He sure have a lifelong customer as long as we live in the area!

You will not find a better friend for your fur babies! One of our boys had a last minute change to his usual care and Josh just rolled with it like it was nothing. To us it was a huge weight lifted. Our extremely high energy 15-month old Aussie had two incisions, one that needed some additional attention and we were so worried about how he would do. Josh took the best care of him and loved on both our boys like he always does. Seeing the smiles on our boys in the pictures he shares says it all. THANK YOU, JOSH! Don't know what we would do without you!

Another great trip with Josh! I’m pretty sure my dog was disappointed it wasn’t him when I walked in the door after our trip. 😂 Once again, completely above and beyond in every way. Thank you!!

Schedule

Providing a pet care service that you can rely on is my full time committment, and I try to accomodate each request that comes my way as best possible. If this is our first time working together, please submit your request early enough (1-2 weeks in advance is best) so that we can schedule a meet-n-greet prior to the booking.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pet(s) safe, happy and feeling loved while you're away so that you never miss a beat when you get home. Part of that process is never leaving your pet(s) outside unattended and making sure they are secured inside the home while I am away. If you are looking to board your dog(s) with us, please rest assured that we have everything needed to make your dog feel at home. We have extra feeding stations, dog beds, chew toys, plush squeekers, frisbees, ropes, kongs, plenty of treats, and a dog pool! Our back yard is fenced with the gate locked and fecal matter is removed 2-3 times per week. Vaccine records for our dogs are up-to-date and all of our animals are on F/HWP .

Pets

A typical day

With your insight I want to do what your dog loves the most! I am most qualified for tumultuous bouts of tug, adventurous walks throughout the neighborhood or a nearby park, neverending fetch, and invigorating belly rubs! I love taking pics and short videos of my pets to share with friends and family and will be looking for those special photo opportunities of your pet(s) to share with you!
