Fun cheerful animal lover!

Pet care experience

i’ve owned a dog for 9 years, when i got my dog my parents made me promise to be the one who takes care of it. Ever since, i’ve taken care of my dog Granger. She is a Redbone Coonhound. Being given the responsibility of taking care of other people’s animals is a big deal and I believe that I am responsible and ready to take that responsibility. I have walked friends animals and taken care of friends animals. I am very good with all animals. They all seem to like me and enjoy playing with me and spending time with me. I love all animals and all animals deserve and chance and love. i can not wait to work with all of these fun loving animals.

Joshua will take great care of your Dog! He is responsible, friendly, and a huge animal lover. He will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is happy. He has taken great care of our cats on several occasions for the past five years and they absolutely love him. You should have no worries when your dog is with Joshua.

Josh would make an amazing dog sitter and/or dog walker. He will be on top of all of the duties he has to carry out for both the dog and the owner/s; for example, feeding them at the right time, filling the water bowl, giving them any medicine, remembering house rules, letting them out, etc. He knows how to keep them safe and sound. Dogs always feel comfortable with Josh and he is also very good with all breeds. Specifically, he is amazing with his redbone coonhound (energetic hunting dog) as well as with my beagle-basset hound (stubborn and laid back). He is active, so he would be happy to take the dog for long walks or play a lot if the dog needs be to active. But, he would also enjoy chilling out with the dog if he/she is older and more relaxed. I highly recommend Josh as a dog sitter/dog walker.

Josh is responsible, friendly and definitely a dog person. He is dependable and reliable under all circumstances, with good judgement and perspective. Additionally, he is very sensitive to safety issues for dogs, such as heat sensitivity.

Joshua R. has had his own dog, Granger, for more than ten years, as well as two cats. He has taken complete care of Granger every day and Granger will ONLY sleep with Josh. Josh loves all animals, is totally responsible and dependable, and will always go beyond what is required. Your dog will be in great hands! Jill S.
