Availability

I accept clients all throughout the greater Houston area. While the profile focuses on dogs and cats, I am available for sitting your scaled friends, small mammals, and exotics as well. My wife and I have dogs and cats of our own, but your pets will always have their own space and one-on-one attention when in our home. Our love for animals has no bounds and I take great pride in how I treat and take care of all animals.

Information Joshua S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know anything and everything about dog before. It does not matter how small a detail is. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

Dogs that stay with me will have no shortage of toys to play with, outside or inside. Dogs will also go on walks and can give baths if needed.

Pets

Full Time Pet Service Provider

Pet care experience

I am a full-time pet service provider with years of experience. I am independently insured for pet sitting services, so in addition to the Rover guarantee, you can be assured that your pets are safe with me. If you are looking for a professional adult, you have come to the right person. Prior to dedicating myself to this business full time, I received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Houston in 2014 and worked as a research technician. I will always love science, but dogs and cats are more fun! After fostering dogs that have been physically and mentally abused, I learned the value of proper pet care and have dedicated my career to a high quality of living for all animals. My experience includes puppies and seniors of all sizes and cats of all personalities, age, and size. I can give baths, clip nails, and perform other basic grooming needs during boarding and day care. I have experience with pets who require special medical attention, including giving injections and applying topical medications. When I take care of your pet, I want them to know they are safe and loved. My dogs also love to play with other dogs, and they know when their new friend needs alone time.

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.
