Safety, trust & environment

Every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is to keep their daily routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, grooming, and bedtime routines—because I know the little details matter. I’ll always respect your home, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes and outdoor areas promptly, and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean, safe, and comfortable. I believe every animal communicates differently. Some pets want endless cuddles and playtime, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence and their personal space. I’m happy to meet them where they are, building trust at their pace and giving them the attention they need to feel secure. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and cats under my care my whole life. One cat had ceribal hypoplasia and required assistance with all aspects of life bathroom, walking, getting into bed for naps and eating. My 2 cats that I have now are mine and each others emotional support. They are both harness and leash trained and stroller trained. I am a rare Male Cat Lady :)

Took great care of our elderly high maintenance dog while we were out of town for 2 weeks. Above and beyond with grooming.

Josh is very caring with our dog. We booked him for 3 walks over 3 days. And he did a great job communicating and filling out the walk cards for the first two days. On the last day however he was not able to make it due to an emergency and I didn’t find out until the next day so wasn’t able to get someone to fill in and give our dog her evening walk. My husband was home later to let her out but she really needs her daily exercise.

Joshuah is a Great fellow with a never-ending supply of patience and enough sternness to keep our little devil dog Bentley in line and wanting more. Joshuah is punctual and knowledgeable enough to teach us a thing or two about our dog. We felt very comfortable leaving Bentley in Joshuah's capable hands and will book him again when another trip comes. Thank you, Rover, for making an easy transition for our travel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Josh was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From our initial video chat, I knew Dennis (my recently adopted ex-street cat) would be in good hands. Josh came to the meet & greet fully prepared and even managed to get Dennis to come out from under the bed—no small feat for a cat who spent 8+ years on the streets! 😸 He sent updates, photos, and thoughtful messages each visit, which really helped ease my first-time Rover nerves. He even met me after to return my keys and parking pass—above and beyond. Josh has great energy, and Dennis clearly approved (which says everything). Highly recommend—your pets will be in caring, capable hands. Will definitely book again!
