Pet care experience

Top dog care!

I'm super passionate about giving animals the TLC they deserve. With my experience with dog walking, general animal care, and overnight pet sitting, I've got a solid understanding of what it takes to make pets feel safe and happy. I'm all about providing a fun, comfortable, and loving environment for your fur babies, and I'm happy to share more about my experience if needed

Safety, trust & environment

I have been the individual that my friends and family recommend to their friends and family for pet care for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rodents. I have nothing but love and respect for animals. I’m new to this service but I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and your animal friends!

Joshua was awesome! He agreed to watch Rumba last minute for Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Rumba had a blast and is looking forward to the next visit!

Josh was great with our dog and cat, staying with them for 5 nights. The animals felt comfortable and happy with him! I’d recommend him again.

Josh fulfilled our every requirement. He instantly bonded with our dog, who is quite fussy. He kept her happy for three weeks and she looked great on our return, not to mention that he saved our vacation.

Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.

I have trusted Josh to take care of my asthmatic cat [Toad] on so many occasions. He’s very keen on the importance of mentally stimulating your cat with toys, games, and appropriate affections. Your pets aren’t just a part of your world - you create their entire world! Their diet and medications are small potatoes in what they need for an enriched environment, and Josh is great at all of that. Not just cats though, he has also helped me take care of a typically man-hating rowdy rescue husky pug, and he treated her with such kindness that she weirdly fell in love with him, and is the only guy she’ll let around her. That says a lot. I think he might have helped me a parrot I was sitting for once, too. Oh and my pet rats! He’s also probably also good with reptiles, I just don’t have a personal story regarding them. Josh is the ultimate animal whisperer, and will always have your pets best interest in heart!
