Availability

My availability is flexible and varies depending on bookings, especially for house sitting stays. I recommend getting in touch as early as possible to check availability and secure your preferred dates. For house sitting, I can usually accommodate longer stays with advance notice, including holidays and weekends. My priority is ensuring each booking is planned properly so your pets receive consistent, uninterrupted care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and ensuring a calm, stable environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walking, medication, and daily care routines. House sitting includes staying in the home overnight, keeping pets company, and ensuring the property remains secure and well looked after. I take safety seriously, including secure handling of keys, respecting the home, and keeping clear communication throughout the stay. Every pet is different, so I always adapt my approach based on their temperament, needs, and routine.

Information Joshua R. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, I ask owners to share key information in advance, including: * Feeding routine and diet * Walking schedule and behaviour on walks * Any medical needs or medication * Behavioural traits or triggers * Emergency contact and vet details * Home access instructions For house sitting, it’s also helpful to know any household routines or preferences so I can maintain consistency while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day depends on the service, but for house sitting it usually includes morning feeding and a walk, companionship throughout the day, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I spend time in the home with the pets, ensuring they are comfortable, relaxed, and not left alone for long periods. Walks, feeding times, and medication (if needed) are all done according to the owner’s instructions. Evenings are generally quiet, focusing on settling the pets for the night and making sure they feel secure before bedtime.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Josh — a trusted, independent house sitter and pet carer based in West Yorkshire. I specialise in in-home pet care and house sitting, meaning your pets stay in their familiar environment while I stay in your home and maintain their daily routine. This includes feeding, walking, companionship, and regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have experience caring for dogs in a range of environments, from everyday family homes to larger properties during extended stays. My focus is simple: provide calm, reliable care so your pets feel safe and your home is looked after while you’re away. I am DBS checked and committed to providing a professional, respectful service for every booking.

Josh has been great with my two big gentle idiots. From having a meet and great to make sure the dogs were happy in his company, to them bounding around and wanting hugs from him. Josh will definitely become a permanent fixture (as long as he wants to) for Koda and Milo.

This dog walking service is top-notch. The walker is always on time and seems to genuinely care for the dogs. My dog gets great exercise and socialization during the walks. Communication is excellent, with regular updates provided. I highly recommend this service to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog walker.

Josh stayed at our home with our 2 dogs, Walnut and Whiskey. The sit was for 2 weeks, and we are very pleased with Josh and the care our dogs received from him! He even took them out for adventures around our town, which we know they loved. Upon returning home, our house was well taken care of and our dogs were very happy! We would absolutely love to work with Josh again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
