We'll get along famously!

Pet care experience

I am a caring and attentive person who will provide anything your dog needs; whether it is walking and cleaning or feeding and petting, I am happy to provide. I grew up with dogs of varying sizes and activity. I am familiar with their various moods and needs, even "taming" and gaining the trust of usually skittish animals. My gentle demeanor facilitates a calm and nurturing environment for your pets. I am not phased by an animal's initial reception of me. I know that I am quiet and patient enough that even the most nervous pet is sure to come around. I can also handle excited and exuberant pets who require a lot of activity, like my toddleresque Springer Spaniel. I will make sure they have all the fun and exercise they need.

Josiah took good care of Mali while we were away for the weekend. He wasn’t able to come as early as we had planned, but he communicated in time for us to make additional arrangements. When we got home the house was clean and the dog was happy.

Josiah Gilman had been tending our menagerie of animals (which includes varying numbers of chickens, cats, and dogs) whenever we are out of town since summer 2016. He has proven himself to be dependable and reliable and always follows any instructions we leave for him to the letter. Above all, he gives our beloved pets the same loving care we do. We would not want to leave them with anyone else!

Josiah loves dogs and has that way about him that draws them to him. On top of that, he is responsible, detail-oriented, physically capable of handling a large animal, and hard-working. Highly recommend him as a dog-sitter.
