Josh is absolutely amazing with our mini Aussie! His mini Aussie, River, are phenomenal hosts. Our Aussie comes back happy and tired! Can’t recommend him enough.

We had such a great experience with Josh! Leaving our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country was definitely nerve wracking for us, but we felt completely at ease knowing Finn was in such good hands. Josh gave us regular updates, photos, and kept us reassured the whole time. It was clear Finn was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. Finn and River had the best time together! We’re so grateful for the care and will 100% be using Josh again for all our bookings!

Looking for a pet caregiver while you're away from home? Look no further, because Josh is guaranteed to provide the best care for your furry friend. He's a work from home dog dad, ensuring that your pet will not only be carefully looked after throughout the day by Josh - but your pet will also have the sweetest miniature Australian Shepherd, River, to play with. River loves playing with other dogs at the dog park, and running around her fenced in backyard on sunny days. This past Fall, I left Boone, my Bernese Mountain dog, with Josh and River for 4 days. While I was gone, Josh took great care of him. From videos of the dogs playing in the backyard or going on walks, to updates about how Boone was doing, I felt so at peace knowing that Boone was in good hands while I was away. When I picked him up, I could tell that Boone was sad to leave the new friends he had made. I will definitely trust Josh with Boone again the next time that I am out of town. I can't recommend his home and care enough!

Do they require any specific attention/is there anything that I should be aware of pertaining to the dog. Questions such as: can the dog be left alone without chewing, is the dog bone aggressive, what is unique to your dog.
