CONFIDENT CARE
Hi, I’m Josh!
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was always full of dogs and cats — each with their own quirks, moods, and lovable habits. I learned early on that every pet sees the world in their own way, and that the best care comes from truly understanding them.
I’m the kind of sitter who celebrates your dog’s goofy zoomies, respects your cat’s “I’ll come to you” moments, and knows when a pup needs a little extra patience or a lot of playtime. From shy seniors to high-energy adventurers, I meet each pet where they’re at.
Your peace of mind matters, too. I’m insured, background-checked, and certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I use GPS check-in/out so you’ll always know when and where your pet was cared for, and I send plenty of photo updates so you never miss a moment.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family — with love, respect, and attention to detail. I’d be honored to be that person!
— Josh Hawk

FREE Meet & Greets
MEET & GREETS
A meet and greet is the first step in making sure your pet has the best possible experience while you’re away. It’s a quick, no-pressure visit where we get to know you and your pets, go over their routines, and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
During this visit, we’ll:
Meet your pet in their home environment so they feel safe and relaxed.
Learn about their daily care, habits, and any special needs or quirks.
Review important details like feeding, walking routes, medications, and home access.
Answer questions and talk through expectations on both sides.
We require this step because it helps build trust and prevent stress — for you, your pets, and us. It also ensures there are no surprises, so when the actual booking begins, your pet is already familiar with us and their care plan is crystal-clear.
It’s a simple way to set everyone up for success and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
Dog Walking
dog walking
Regular walks aren’t just about exercise. They’re about keeping your dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. Whether you’re stuck at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pup gets the movement and attention they deserve.
During each walk, I will:
• Follow your dog’s usual routes and routines to keep them comfortable.
• Give them plenty of time to sniff, explore, and enjoy the outdoors.
• Provide water and a quick check to make sure they’re safe and happy.
• Send updates and cute photos so you know how their walk went.
Every walk is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy who loves adventure or a senior dog who prefers a slow, steady stroll. My goal is to make every outing a safe, fun experience and to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is cared for like family.

Check-In Visits
check-in visits
Check-in visits are perfect for pets who don’t need a full walk but still deserve attention and care while you’re away. Whether you’re at work, out for the day, or on vacation, I’ll stop by to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and happy.
During each visit, I will:
• Provide fresh food and water.
• Take care of litter boxes or let dogs out for a potty break.
• Spend quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company.
• Give any medications or special care they need.
• Send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing.
Every visit is tailored to your pet’s personality and routine, whether they’re an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who just wants some quiet companionship. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable and your mind at ease until you return home.

Overnight Pet Sitting
OVERNIGHT SITTING
Sometimes pets need more than a quick visit — they need company, comfort, and care through the night. My overnight pet sitting service is perfect for pets who do best with a consistent presence in their home while you’re away.
During an overnight stay, I will:
• Stay in your home for 10+ hours overnight to provide care and companionship.
• Handle evening and morning feedings, walks, and playtime.
• Provide potty breaks, fresh water, and any needed medications.
• Keep your home secure by bringing in mail, adjusting lights, and following your instructions.
• Send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe.
If your pet needs extra attention during the day, midday drop-in visits can be added to your booking. These visits are perfect for an additional potty break, meal, or some playtime to break up their day.
This service gives your pets a stress-free experience in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that someone you trust is there when you can’t be.
