About: I'm a certified pet sittier through Fetch Find and have over a decade of experience. I work with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have experience with sick and anxious animals. My own senior cat is both and requires tender loving care to medicate. I'll bring the same love and patience to your animals that I bring to my own. I currently work from home full time. I have a semi flexible schedule and I'm available from 2pm-9pm for walks, drop ins, or anything your pets may need. I individualize my care based on what each client needs. That may look like giving your babies tons of attention or the space they need to feel safe. We can talk 1:1 to make sure your pets have what they need.
“Bethany and Aaron did a great job. Our dogs love them both. They communicate regularly and even send pictures. This is the second time we have used them and we are sure our pups are well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over five years now. My family and friends rely on me when they go out of town or call me when they need advice on how to care for their pets :) I work fives days a week Monday-Friday 5a-1:30p and I’m off on the weekends so that leaves plenty of time to spend relaxing around the house or running around the yard or whatever else they may fancy I live in a large house with a huge fenced in yard that all the doggies love! So there’s plenty of space for the furry friends to frolic and just be happy and play
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: For over 10 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors—caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I like to start mornings with fresh food and water, followed by a walk or play session to get some energy out. Midday, I check in for more cuddles, bathroom breaks, and enrichment activities. Evenings are for winding down with another walk, a little play, and lots of affection before bedtime. Your pet won’t just get “checked in on”—they’ll be a regular part of my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, fresh food and water, and plenty of love.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Oak
We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Joshua took amazing care of our four dogs and our fish over 10 drop-in visits across five days, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection during every visit. We really appreciated the consistent communication, updates, videos, and photos, which made it easy to relax knowing everyone was doing great. Even our fish were well looked after! It's not easy finding someone you can trust with multiple pets, but he exceeded every expectation. He was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
