Your Pet’s Home Away From Home

I’m a professional and lifelong dog lover dedicated to providing a clean, comfortable, and engaging environment for your pet. After spending the last decade caring for my own dog, Brewster, I now offer a quiet, pet-free home where your dog will receive my full attention. I have a large fenced yard for playtime and live in a safe, walkable neighborhood perfect for daily exercise. With a degree in Hospitality Management and experience in the hotel and retail industries, I approach pet care with a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. I am also currently pursuing a professional dog training certification to further expand my skills and provide even better care. I’m experienced in senior dog care, managing different temperaments, and creating a safe, structured environment tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pet loves active adventures or relaxed days in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home.

Josh has taken care of our dogs many times over the last couple of years. He is so great with them. He’s also very communicative - sends updates, pictures, and videos often.

Josh always watches our dogs and does a great job. We were 4 hours late for pick up and he was more than accommodating! Thank you Josh! Chavo and Cootie will see you in October!

Joshua was an amazing dog sitter! He kept me informed throughout my dog’s entire stay with regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that he genuinely cared for my dog and treated her with kindness, patience, and attention. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated his communication, professionalism, and the excellent care he provided. I would absolutely recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I’ll definitely book with him again!

Schedule

I follow a structured daily routine to ensure your dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. Mornings start with outdoor time, including a walk or yard play, followed by a midday check-in during my lunch break for a potty break and some extra attention. In the evenings, I’m home for the rest of the day, providing dinner, exercise, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one care. This predictable schedule allows for frequent breaks and a balanced mix of activity and relaxation.

Safety, trust & environment

When you trust me with your dog, they become part of my family. After 13 years with my own dog, I bring that same level of love, patience, and care to every pup I watch. Safety is always my top priority, and with a predictable schedule and close proximity to home, your dog is never left alone for long. I’ve built strong relationships with many repeat clients who value the respect and attentiveness I provide, and I keep you connected with regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

A typical day

Each day is a balanced mix of outdoor adventure, play, and relaxation. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air through walks, yard time, and outdoor activities, along with engaging playtime indoors with a variety of toys. I incorporate every pup into my daily routine, giving them consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Evenings are all about winding down, with plenty of space to relax, cuddle, and feel right at home. It’s the perfect blend of activity, structure, and comfort.

To ensure the best possible stay and keep everyone safe and happy, it is incredibly helpful for me to know a few details about your dog's personality and habits ahead of time: Socialization & Temperament: Since I no longer have a dog of my own, I do sometimes host dogs from two separate families at the same time (though I typically only do this if I have cared for both dogs before). Please let me know how your pup acts around other dogs. High energy is absolutely no problem at all, as long as they are not aggressive. House Training: To keep my home clean and comfortable for all guests, I prefer dogs who are fully house trained or at least consistently wee-wee pad trained. Routines & Quirks: Please feel free to share their favorite feeding schedules, any dietary restrictions, or little quirks that make them feel safe and comfortable! Open communication helps me provide the safest, most tailored care possible for your loved one.
