I only care for up to two dogs at a time to ensure every pet gets plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and cuddles. Since I’m retired, I’m always available and can happily take last-minute bookings. You’ll never have to hesitate, I believe pet sitting is more than just a service; it’s about building lasting relationships with pets and their owners.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a large, fenced-in yard where your pup can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of outdoor fun! Inside, your dog will feel right at home, my goal is to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I treat every pet like family, so they’re free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable. Of course, if you prefer certain rules (like keeping them off the sofa), I’ll make sure to follow your training routines to keep things consistent for your dog. Thank you for choosing me to care for your furry loved one. I can’t wait to welcome them into my home! 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a retired, full-time, stay-at-home pet sitter, which means I can give your furry friend all the time, attention, and love they deserve. I’m not doing this for the money, but because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like my home is their home.

From the meet and greet, I knew my Lenin would be in good care. Josefa has a soft spot for dogs and it’s show by the way she talked to my dog. Usually my dog is ready to run out from a dog sitter or grooming appointment but not with Josefa. When I picked up Lenin, he did not want to leave, that is how I know he was taken well care of. If you are looking for someone to watch your pup, Josefa is the person.

Grateful for Josefa’s care!! Our 6-year old lab seemed to have a great time. She followed our instructions and sent frequent updates.

Josefa was fantastic. I would recommend her and plan to book with her in the future. Easy to communicate with and super friendly.
