Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have open availability and do all of my schoolwork from home, so I’m able to be present, flexible, and attentive throughout the day. On occasion, I may need to step away for a few hours for work once or twice a week, but I always plan ahead to make sure pets are comfortable, exercised, and cared for before and after. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I have a small dog park like literally right across the street from me so it's perfect!!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets as if they’re my own, giving them the best love and attention I can. I make sure they get healthy meals, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I also have plenty of friends with dogs in the building and area where they can call meet and play!

Information Joshua S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about the size of your pets ahead of time I have a smaller apartment but my apartment complex is extremely dog friendly!
A typical day
I love to go on dog walks! I really enjoy taking them to a dog park and throwing the ball around with them as well as just playing with them. Dogs and cats have a blast but I think I may have more fun. They do so much for me!

Loving Animals, One Dog at a Time
Pet care experience
What sets me apart is my deep, real-life experience and love for animals. For the past year, I’ve been the primary caregiver for a 6-year-old golden retriever rescue, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet a dog exactly where they are—especially when trust and routine really matter. I also grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. In addition, I spent four months caring for a beautiful cat on a farm in North Carolina, giving me hands-on experience with cats and different living environments. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, with genuine attention, affection, and respect for their individual needs.
Reviews

Josh did a great job with our dog Milo. He sent updates and was very easy to communicate with. Milo came home healthy, tired and happy. We will definitely be using Josh again!
I have had the pleasure of Josh taking care of a couple of my dogs over the years. He is conscientious and loving. My dogs always looked forward to seeing him. Anybody would be lucky to have Josh care for their pet.
