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!

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!

Joshua is a GREAT pet-sitter. I went out to mexico for a few months and left my terrier with him and she had such a great time! He would constantly send me picture updates when they went out for a walk and whenever she would take a nap. Mocha didn't even want to come home because of how much she enjoyed staying with him! Would def recommend choosing Josh for someone reliable and with great communication!

Josh is an exceptional pet sitter, and Luna and Sunny absolutely adore him. Over the years as neighbors, he became the only person outside of family that was fully trusted with both my dog Luna and my cat Sunny when I traveled. Any Rover family that books Josh will be getting a truly outstanding and reliable caregiver for their pets. He is consistently dependable: he shows up on time, follows every instruction, and goes above and beyond to make sure both pets are comfortable and safe. When I was out of town, I never had to worry. Coming home after trips, it was clear from how relaxed and happy they were that they had been very well cared for. Josh is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the way he interacts with them. If you are considering him as a sitter or walker on Rover, you should feel completely confident booking him; Luna, Sunny, and I would happily work with him again any time
