Pet care experience

Dog Dude

I've always had dogs in my life and always loved them. Whether it was my family, a friend, or any random dog I have always felt a connection with these special friends of ours. I will look after your dog like it was my own, just as I've been doing my whole life. I can dog-sit, do walks and playtime, or just go check on your furry friend while you're away.

Joshua was absolutely outstanding! My dog stayed with him for five days and was treated perfectly. He kept me updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of picturse, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Joshua again anytime. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We had such a great experience with Joshua!! He took our dog Duke last minute when our original plans fell through, and we’re so so grateful. He was super communicative the whole time and sent us pictures and updates everyday. Duke looked happy and comfortable, and it was clear he was in good hands. We would definitely book with Joshua again and highly reccomend him to other rover users!!!

Joshua was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Dexter! He was very attentive and kept me updated with great photos and messages throughout the stay. Dexter was clearly happy and comfortable in his care. I really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. Looking forward to booking with him again!

Josh was super accommodating with our last minute request for care and changing plans as well as making his space welcoming for Juno and preparing for her routines. He sent lots of updates and communicated thoroughly throughout her stay, and she seemed very happy to be there. Will def be requesting his care for Juno again!

Willow had an amazing time. Josh was attentive, caring and went above and beyond. I got a plethora of updates with pictures and he even took Willow on a few adventures!

Safety, trust & environment

No other pets in the home so yours will have my undivided attention. I have a yard to walk and play with the dog and experience walking small to medium sized dogs.

A typical day

I may enjoy playing as much as the dogs do, whether it's fetch (inside or out) or fighting for control of a toy they will definitely get their exercise in. If the weather is nice I can take them to the boardwalk.
