Hello fellow animal lovers! Thanks for clicking on my profile! My name is Josh and I am definitely looking forward to caring for and loving your pet! We treat our animals like family and yours will receive the exact same treatment from me. I am new to this site after a recommendation from a close friend but have a wealth of experience in taking care of dogs. My partner and I have owned our own dogs (all giant breeds) for well over 10 years and we also fostered something like 23 giant breeds for a local giant breed rescue. We specialized in taking in foster dogs that had aggression or fear issues for full rehabilitation and 100% of our fosters ended up meeting their forever families. Our approach to all of this was through love and patience and always putting the dogs in situations they could not fail with. We know how to properly introduce and motivate dogs to feel safe and comfortable through nothing but positive reinforcement training methods. My partner and I do have two children, 3 and 5 years old. Both have been around dogs their entire life and we have spent a lot of time teaching them how to interact safely with dogs, especially new dogs. We also have 2 cats and a dog (Cane Corso) who are all very comfortable with new dogs. We do have the ability to separate animals in our home if necessary. Again, we will not put any animal or child in a situation to fail. We also have a large yard that your pet can run around in and play. I am really looking forward to meeting you and your animal! Thank you for the consideration in your search for the right pet sitter.
