I will treat your pets like my own!
Pet care experience
As a zookeeper and animal trainer for several years at AZA accredited facilities, I had a passion for enrichment and animal welfare. I now focus on my own animals, as well as looking after other people's dogs and exotic species. You can expect me to bring that same passion for animal care to the attention I put into your best friends!
Reviews
I’ve left Jack with Joshua a couple of times now, and he’s been wonderful. Patient and loving, anticipating my dog’s needs. You can tell he loves animals, and made me feel comfortable leaving him with my dog, including many pics and videos. He’s great!
This was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have been any better. Our hyper active pup returned happy, well mannered and just plain and simple different dog. We booked 10 days stay with Joshua. We were getting multiple updates and videos every day. His open setup is designed to keep your furry friends entertained and socially active with other dogs. Our Sachi wil miss his newly made four legged friends until we’ll bring him for another stay. Thank you Joshua for your professional service and kind personal touch! Benfeld Family
I left my 2 year old Golden Retriever with Joshua in his home for 3 days and she could not have been happier during her stay. Joshua was diligent in sending updates each day, including a quick message about her day as well as photos! I would highly recommend for folks that want their pups to have freedom from a kennel and tons of fun while they’re away! I will definitely be rebooking!
I can't say enough good things about Joshua and how he cared for our dog. We took our family to Florida and stopped through Disney for a couple of days. Our hotel didn't accept pets, so we looked into Rover. This was our first Rover experience, so we were a bit hesitant. We searched around quite a bit and found Joshua. We were AMAZED with his communication during the entire process and how he cared for our dog. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares for his guests as if they were his own pets. When we dropped our dog (Tucker) off and drove away, I said to my wife, "I can't believe how comfortable I am leaving Tucker with a stranger.". We received so many pictures and videos of our pup living it up in luxury! Joshua went above and beyond with every aspect of Tucker's stay. He was so accommodating with our schedule and wanted to make sure our family didn't have to worry about our pup while we were on vacation. Such a great guy and he has a great environment for a dog to stay and play. When we return to Florida, I won't hesitate for a second to contact Joshua again.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets staying with me can expect to receive plenty of personalized attention, lots of unique enrichment opportunities, and have access to a large fenced-in yard to enjoy with my own two friendly pups. They can choose to play fetch in the yard, play in the large dog pool, or simply relax in one of the many comfortable dog beds scattered all throughout the house. I am happy to crate them if requested, but otherwise they will have free access to the house as if they were at home.
Home
Information Joshua S. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds, and am happy to get to know each dog as the individual that they are. I love to introduce dogs to new enrichment and experiences that might be beneficial for them!
A typical day
The day will be filled with fun playtime with my own two dogs, new and novel sights/sounds/smells of the the other animals that live here (bird, tortoise, lizard...*all secured), snuffle matts, toys, approved snacks, pools, and all sorts of unique enrichment.

I work from home, so you can expect your pets to have lots of time and focused attention when they are staying with me. I am flexible with my time, and would love to have your pets stay while you are away on vacation or for that last minute trip. My goal is to create a comfortable and fun environment where your pets can feel at home.
