Availability
My schedule is very flexible at the moment, and I work from home, which allows me to adjust to the needs of each pet and their routine. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and can provide daytime care, evening check-ins, or extended stays depending on what works best for you and your pet.

About Joshua R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company, but I can also provide quiet spaces if your pet prefers more independence. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always follow your care instructions closely. My focus is on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Experienced sitter with decades of
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for nearly 30 years, including pets with special needs. My last dog, Homer, had epilepsy and lived to 10, and I currently have a 9-year-old dog named Gordo. I have experience with administering medication, supporting senior pets, and managing safe environments for all energy levels. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their pets, both in my home and theirs. I’ve also provided cat sitting, home sitting, and consistent support for pets who need extra attention.

Reviews

Joshua was great! He took excellent care of my dog. Highly recommend!
Josh is awesome! He’s flexible, reliable, and our dogs love him. He gives us updates and sends pictures of our boys having fun together. Josh alleviates the stress of traveling knowing our dogs are well taken care of.
Joshua has been wonderful caretaker for our dog when we have needed him. He is a caring, kind, and loving person. Our dog, Max, enjoys spending time with him. Max gets plenty of exercise and playtime when he is with Joshua. Max is always excited to see Joshua and quickly runs to great him. We are very appreciative of the care Joshua gives Max and fully trust him with caring for our dog.
Josh watched my dog Mando for 2 weeks in May. During that time he took him to the park, gave him all sorts of love, sent pictures, and basically made sure Mando was happy and safe. It was a great experience and it made me feel secure that my pup was in good hands. 10/10 would recommend Josh to take care of anyone's dog.
