Dogs are my preferred running buds!
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Joshua, or “Shua” for short! I’m very personable with both people and animals. I’m a driven, energetic, and playful person who just loves being in close quarters with dogs, especially pups! I don’t have any pups of my own, but I have accumulated so much pet sitting experience through Rover. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of pups in the past, including Black Labs, Retrievers, and Shih-Tzus. I live in the suburban neighborhood of Flossmoor. I love how clean it is and how much there is to do here. It’s great for running, playing, or any other activity a dog’s heart may desire. My home has a large yard with lots of open space and grass for my furry guests to play. I play soccer competitively and practice every day. I also enjoy running and cooking. My favorite shows are Suits and How I Met Your Mother. I love watching TV with friends and family. I got a 30 on my ACT and take pride in being able to find creative and intelligent solutions to any problem I’m faced with while dog sitting.

Do NOT leave your dog/pet with this man!!! He had my 90lb girl tied up with her 6 inch leash to a pole on the wall to where she couldn’t even lay down when I came to get her in the morning. She was TERRIFIED, barking at me, and had this look of fear in her eyes I’ve never seen. Upon entering the little room he held her captive in, was feces all over the floor. It didn’t have a smell, which to me says that it’s been there awhile. She had no water bowl next to her either. Not once did Joshua message me to ask what he could do to de-escalate her “behaviors” he stated she was having, which was “getting into everything”. I’m not sure how he thought tying her up, would solve anything but make her more uncomfortable and scared. Joshua doesn’t have the proper experience or skills to take care of a dog, nor a fenced in yard. It broke my heart to know he did this to my girl and probably had did it the other night he watched her. The only difference is, he didn’t answer the phone because he was still asleep so I was able to catch this catastrophic event. My girl cried for days and didn’t want to leave my site. I would not recommend him to anyone. I hope this is a wake up call to him to realize you’re dealing with actual live animals. This was cruel punishment that she did not deserve. Joshua does not deserve to be around our sweet babies, period.
Joshua is a very nice young man. I am thankful he could care for our dogs. His yard was not fully fenced in.
Josh is very energetic and loves animals. He took great care of Tiffani while we were away.
Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.

I live in a four bedroom home. I like to distribute the dogs evenly amongst three rooms, depending on compatibility between pups. Then the rooms are stacked with potty pads, food, and water. From there, it’s just a matter of making sure the pups receive adequate exercise. This can be accomplished through ball play in a smaller space, Fetch, or light jogging outside.

Information Joshua S. would like to know about your pet
Spatial and social preferences (Is your pet antisocial? Is your pet claustrophobic? Do they get extremely uncomfortable in the heat or cold?) provide extremely useful context for taking care of your loved one. Dietary needs and general behavioral tendencies (potty schedule, sleep schedule, etc) are also extremely helpful.
A typical day
When I look after your dog, I’ll be home with them most of the time. We’ll go on walks and jogs, play fetch, and cuddle up. I’m very attentive to the needs of pets and always treat my furry guests like they’re my best friends. I use a Pet-Loo porta potty for all the canines who come into my home. All the parts are replaceable which prevents messes and germs transferring among pets. I look forward to meeting your fur baby!

Availability
I leave my home for work in the early afternoon Monday-Thursday, typically around 2:40, and return around 9PM. My weekend work schedule is more lax and subject to change in order to accommodate pet care. Of course, making sure that each room is stacked with the proper food, water, and equipment as i’m leaving is part of my routine, and is of paramount importance to me.
