“I can’t thank Joshua enough for the wonderful care he’s given Melvin. He’s been incredibly patient and understanding with my pup, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog walker!”

“Peyton has been great with my dog who struggles with aggressive greetings towards people and other dogs. She is very responsive, understands dog behavior, and is always on time. I’m relieved to have someone I can rely on for when I need to travel.”

About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈‍⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of animals throughout my life! I have experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, farm animals, and more, and I have a deep love for all pets. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, feeding, play time, or a solid walk, I’m here to treat them like my own! I’m currently working some from home and have pretty open availability to take care of your pets at any time! Flexible to what your needs are right now. I own 5 dogs and 2 cats currently. I love hanging out and playing with pets and ensuring their safety and comfort is my top priority! When visiting your home you can trust I will treat your pet as my own, follow your exact feeding and care instructions, and keep living spaces clean. I am vigilant about pet security during walks or yard time, respect your property, and happy to send photos of your pet from my visit as well!

About: Animals have been a joyful part of my life for over 30 years. I’ve cared for many kinds of pets, but most importantly dogs and cats. Over the years I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, volunteered with animal rescues, and worked for a local veterinarian for a couple of years which I loved! I truly believe animals give us unconditional love, and caring for them brings me great happiness. I am dependable, trustworthy, and prompt, and I will take great pride in caring for your pets with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I give my own. When you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and treated like family. Pet care, for me, is part of my daily life at home! I will look forward to taking care of your fur family members with great care when you’re away. I currently have two awesome dogs named Rue and Liz and 1 turtle named Pearl. Animals are a part of who I am! I care for my pets as if they were my children. My dogs are inside most of the time with plenty of backyard fun including, playing fetch, frisbee, bath time, which they love, and walks around the neighborhood. My cat Spencer passed away at 21yrs old recently; he was the heart of our fur family and he knew it! Towards his later days he required daily medication and with extra love and care he spent his final days peacefully at home. He was dearly loved and yours will be also. You can trust that when I’m at your home your feline or pup will be cared for as if they were my own!

About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.
