Pet care experience

I haven’t met the pet who hates me.

I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. I understand in this current economy that pet care is sometimes too expensive for the care. I prefer to think of my pet care to be similar to private, more, one on one care. I give your pet(s) my whole attention.

Joshua saved me in a pinch- booking with a few days notice. Joshua’s communication was very clear with exceptional clarification about details of the stay. My dog was comfortable at drop off and pick up. Overall, pleased with my experience.

Joshua did a fantastic job watching our dog Norm in his apartment for 9 days. Norm is a senior, special needs, anxious dog and Joshua was incredibly accommodating and flexible to make sure Norm was well cared for. I felt most re-assured that Norm was in good hands and we appreciated the pictures and updates! Wouldn’t hesitate to book Joshua again.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 31, 2026

Joshua was a great sitter for my dog Blu. He was very communicative throughout the day, and responded very quickly whenever I’d reach out. I felt very reassured that Blu was in good hands whenever he was with Joshua. Joshua was also very kind and understanding with last minute changes in my drop off and pickup times. I would absolutely rebook with Joshua and recommend him as a dog sitter.

Drop-In Visits • Jan 21, 2026

Josh was very prompt in responding to messages. He did some drop in visits while we were on pur honeymoon. By his 3rd visit I got pictures of my kitten actually laying on him. If I ever need a pet sitter again I will not hesitate to book him again.

I love almost any and every dog, I put my heart into creating a bond not only with the owners, but with the pet themselves. I have cat/dog sat for many families. I have NEVER had a bad review I am aware of. If you find no one can help sit for you, I am a fantastic nanny of sorts.
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.
