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.

Josefa was great with our little Boston named Jozey! We could tell Jozey was very comfortable with Josefa, who took excellent care of her. We would hire her again for sure. Thank you Josefa!

Josefa took special care of Indy and treated him with lots of love! She was very quick at responding to me and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely book again with her!

Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)
