Furry friends are the best friends!
Pet care experience
Over time I have established a strong reputation amongst my friends who continually ask me to watch their pets. I would love the chance to look after your furry family members! I strive to communicate clearly, act responsibly, and care for the owner's pet and house with the highest regard.
Reviews
Josiah watched our two dogs for two weeks while our family was gone in spring break. We couldn’t be happier with how it all worked out. He was a great communicator and gave us daily updates and pics on how our dogs were doing. He took them on walks and gave them a lot of love, which put our mind at ease when being gone so long. We had tremendous comfort knowing that our furry fam was being taken care of. It was felt good knowing that our house was being watched over by a responsible and professional person. I could not offer a higher recommendation for Josiah. It was a total pleasure and we look forward to having him watch our dogs again. Anyone who books him will be lucky to have him.
Josiah looked after my labradoodle for a number of years before we moved from Bend. He is reliable and responsible and Leo absolutely adored him. Josiah's love for the outdoors meant that Leo had the perfect trail buddy when I went away! As Leo got older and more interested in going for shorter walks and hanging out on the couch, Josiah was flexible and adapted to his needs. He kept in touch with lots of photos and updates :) He is also a great houseguest--he was always respectful of the house and I often found it cleaner than before I left it. Now that we have moved from Bend, we both miss him a bunch!
Josiah is a college graduate who is a responsible, conscientious, dependable, and compassionate individual. He transfers all these positive qualities into the service of caregiving for his dog clients. I have personally experienced his interactions and care of several dogs when he has taken care of them usually in the dog owner’s home. Josiah very carefully follows the directives of the owner, but he goes so much above and beyond what would even be expected! The dogs under his care experience invigorating exercise in the outdoors, are fed on schedule, and then receive lots of loving interactive play and attention at other appropriate times. There seems to be a natural bonding with his level of care, and the dogs recall this when Josiah returns at a later time to caregive again. They have become buddies! I highly recommend Josiah as a dog sitter for Rover with absolutely zero hesitations!
Josiah has watched our yellow lab several times and he goes above and beyond to care for our sweet Kona. Josiah treats our dog as if she were his own, and we always have peace of mind when he is watching our dog. He is reliable, trustworthy, and is always our go to person to watch Kona. Highly recommend Josiah!

Nothing beats quality time outdoors and getting energy out in a constructive manner. Pets and humans alike benefit greatly from daily exercise! I like to take dogs for walks, give them attention at home, and throw a ball playing fetch.

Availability
I am a helicopter pilot currently finishing up flight instructor training, and I have several larger chunks of time and open days in my schedule when I am free to look after your furry friends! I also love to travel and ski, so I would eagerly consider traveling to a different destination to look after your house and pets.
