I love dogs!
Pet care experience
Dogs hold a special place in my heart. From growing up with family dogs, to being a volunteer dog walker at the Oahu SPCA, I am excited to use Rover to pursue one of my passions. Volunteering at the OSPCA has taught me that there are no ‘bad’ dogs, just dogs that need love. Volunteering has presented to me all types of dogs, and how to handle all types of situations. I am able to handle all dog sizes and ages, and am available weekday afternoons (I work M-F until 3:00pm) and weekends (with the exception of Sunday Mornings when I volunteer) for visits and walks, and am available any days of the week for house/dog sitting. I treat every dog that I meet like one of my very own. Mahalo for choosing me to care for your dog.
Reviews
Josh did a fantastic job watching our senior dog! He stayed at our house over Memorial Day weekend and we couldn't have picked a better pet sitter. Thank you so much and look forward to working with you in the future!
Josh has been taking care of our two dogs since he was in high school. Whenever we would leave the islands, Josh would stay at our house to take care of our dogs. His responsibilities ranged from walking, feeding, grooming, playing with, and just spending time with the dogs. One of our dogs has a heart condition and is on medications that need to be dispensed within a specific time period everyday - Josh handled this with no problems at all. He is conscientious and meticulous and the house would be in perfect order when we returned home - and our dogs were happy!
I have known Joshua for approximately two years. I am the dog walker trainer for the Oahu SPCA, a nonprofit animal rescue shelter. After Josh's training, he immediately and enthusiastically began walking the easier dogs. After a month, he was able to walk almost any dog at the shelter. Within the last six months, Josh's determination paid off and he began to walk the hardest to walk dogs at the shelter. Josh is very dependable, coming almost every Sunday except when he had to work or was on vacation. He is one walker that I never have to follow up on. Being a nonprofit organization, we rely on our volunteers to also be dependable. In this day and age, it is extremely hard to find such a quality in a volunteer. If even one walker is out, it puts a burden on the other walkers. We want each and every dog to get his/her walk everyday. If we don't get enough walkers, some of the dogs unfortunately may not get their walk. I would trust Josh to walk any dog at the shelter and to walk my own personal furbabies. I would highly recommend Josh to become one of your caregiver/walkers. He is very loving to our dogs and cares for each one of them.
