Pet care experience

Absolute animal lover

I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Dog Walking • May 20, 2026

Joshua stepped right in and did a wonderful job with Gus. He walked him everyday at the park and all the neighbors mentioned what a great guy he is and seemed to really enjoy Gus. Will definitely rebook.

Josh took my guest dog, Wilbur. Wilbur took to Josh right away and enjoyed his stay. Daisy was a little jealous that she would not be having fun with Josh and had to attend a meditation retreat instead. Shshsh....!!!!

House Sitting • Mar 05, 2016

I was away in the big storm and came back a week later. Snow was probably piled up in my home. Josh was so sweet in clearing out my pathway to get in the house and also my driveway to make sure I have a place to park. It gives me confidence that Daisy is in good hands and I feel comfortable schedule my travels. Thank you Josh for making my life enjoyable with Daisy.

Schedule

Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Joshua can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I don’t have a preference I love all dogs. As long as your dog is friendly with myself and others, we will get along just fine.
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.
