About Josh
I've always immediately connected with animals because they are very good judges of character hence why I've never had a bad job interview between myself and the animals I've been entrusted to care for.

I grew up with animals in my childhood in the inner west of Sydney and quickly came to appreciate how the simple things in life brought great joy.Whether I was mucking around with my dog or patting someone else's, I found being around animals was the one of the most positive experiences I encountered.

And so a few years ago I joined the wonderful world of Pet Care. In 2014 I began house sitting for other people's animals including dogs, cats and birds and I enjoyed the responsibility of ensuring they got the best care possible so they wouldn't feel out of place while their owners were gone.

Seeing the difference you can make in the personality and behaviour of an Animal that has experienced good care and understanding is the brightest part of my role as an Animal Butler. s.

When not providing Animal Butler services to the wonderful variety of pets registered on Mad Paws, Josh also volunteers for the Jack Russell Rescue Society.

My motto comes from a great quote by Taiwanese writer, Charles Yu.

"If I could be half the person my dog is, I'd be twice the human I am."

We were very happy with Josh looking after our dogs. He seemed to have given them plenty of attention and feel they were content while he was in our home which he left clean and tidy. We loved when we caught up after the booking the dogs bounded up to him. A good sign. We would definitely use Josh again.

Josh is a fantastic sitter! Attended to all of my dog's needs, including medication and his need to be in a cone the whole stay. He kept my dog company and took fantastic care of my home as well.

My dog has separation anxiety and had medical needs due to an injury which happened the day before Josh's dog sitting. Josh was incredible! He was flexible and adjusted to my dog's needs, keeping him happy, safe and not anxious and giving him his medication as well! I am so grateful for Josh and I have already booked him for future sitting. My dog absolutely adores him!!

Once again Josh has been the greatest Pet sitting Dad for our two Cats. He sends updates and photos. He looks after our home as well, leaving it clean and tidy. We will recommend Josh to anyone! Thank you Josh! Hope to have you again in the future!
