Highlights
Pet care experience
Just a dad trying to provide
I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I love to go out and play with pets I care for. I would dog sit when I was in high school for different families. Those families loved how attentive I was, and as a result they would refer me to their friends. I’m always available for you buddies! You and me both know that your pets are more than pets, theyre family. You don’t want just anyone taking care of family.
Cat care experience
Josiah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to let the client tell me exactly what they want for their pet. I like to keep your life as simple as possible while giving you peace of mind by following any requests you have. If you need your animal crated, if you want them roaming, whatever is asked you can expect to be done.
Ratings and reviews
If I could leave negative stars I would. AVOID! I should have seen the red flag when he showed up 1-1.5 hours late to the meet and greet. Then when he was asked to meet at 5:30pm on Friday at the time we were leaving to transition the animals, a day prior he said his wife could meet and then Friday morning said she could not and he'd get off work at 8pm and be over after; we had no choice but to be ok with this abrupt change in plans, even though his profile states his work is flexible. He didn't arrive to our house until after 9pm. He did not follow any of the instructions I left for him. The animals were not fed at the typical scheduled times and if he wasn't going to spend any time at the home he is house sitting at, he should not offer that as a service. My animals sat in an empty house for over 14 hours yesterday, which is unacceptable and cruel, one being in a kennel. Especially after we had gone over specific instructions that I did not want them left alone for more than 5-6 hours and not left multiple times a day. He lied when I asked about leaving them, stating he only stepped out for a little Saturday morning, when he actually left them for over 8 hours and after letting them outside and feeding them, he immediately left again for another 5 hours. I have a doorbell camera and can see that what he was telling me was all a lie. I have pictures of everything to back it all up. On top of that, my cat must not have gotten her medicine correctly because now she is vomiting (twice now). I am beyond dissatisfied and actually disgusted by the lack of care and treatment of my animals. I was so upset by this we actually left our vacation early and asked him to leave. He should never be able to work for Rover again, no pet owner would want this kind of treatment, constant lying and to have to leave your vacation early. I would NEVER hire him again and recommend others to consider a better, more reliable option.
We are lucky to have found Kamin to watch our pet babies. He spent time.with all of our animals individually. Thank you for being amazing!

Schedule
I do currently work full time, however I have a job that is extremely flexible. I set my own hours, including when I am in my office. This pairs perfectly with animal care and house care because I can come and go as frequently as needed. Due to my open schedule I can be available for any needs your pets may have.
