Serious Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Please review my calendar before making booking inquiries. The green circle means I'm available, dates without a green circle means I'm unavailable. Thank you, I appreciate the opportunity to care for your pet. Besides caring for my own dog, I've cared for my dad's two dogs, one of them being a special needs, seizure dog, my sister's three dogs, and my last roommate was ALWAYS out of town, so I often took care of his golden lab, Kayle. Although having done nothing that would be considered professional prior to Rover, I would say I have extensive experience in doggy day care. Being a vegan, animals are especially important to me. My mom is a dog groomer, as well as a foster parent for recues, so dogs have always held a very important and special place in my life. Dogs make the world a better place, especially during these times! They're safety and well being are my number one priority, and I'm very strict about bathroom breaks! I love the outdoors and going for walks, especially with a dog, just seeing how happy they get being outside fills me with joy.

Josh is an excellent dog sitter and great house guest. This is our second time booking with him and he’s very clean, responsive, and did a wonderful job taking care of our dog during a health emergency while we were away. Highly, highly recommend Josh!

Josh did a great job of caring for our Jack Russell terrier Cody, and numerous other tasks such as caring for our aquariums, fountains, and houseplants. He has a gentle and soft-spoken manner that I am sure was reassuring to our fur baby.. Everything was clean and orderly on our return. My husband commented that it appeared as clean or better than when we left.

Josh is the first home & dog sitter we've ever used and he's set the bar incredibly high for anyone we work with in the future! During the booking process, Josh was friendly and quick to respond. He kept us updated on how things were going while we were away, and we came home to happy pups and an immaculately clean home. Thank you so much for your great service Josh! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
