Pet care experience
I am Josefina, I am from Argentina and in my country, I was a Veterinarian, I love all animals, I understand them, I care for them and pamper them. I spent my entire life with dogs of all sizes and breeds, later cats joined my family and I couldn't be happier to get to know this species. As I said before, I love all animals, but dogs and cats have a special place in my heart. Working with them is so gratifying, they are very special to me. I understand everyone who sees them as another member of the family, because they definitely are! ❤️
Reviews
Josefina was a great dog drop-in visitor for our two dogs. She took good care of them, and posted helpful updates. All in all a good experience.
Josefina is very reliable and she clearly loves dogs! We are happy to have her walk our dog.
Chloe had a nice walk and visit with Josefina. She was prompt and accommodating. We will be bringing her back regularly.
Josefina was such a lovely sitter for my cat, Timmy! She’s very proactive in getting all details to ensure Timmy was cared for in the most comfortable way possible. Throughout the week I was away, she was very communicative and provided updates with plenty of pictures (which was very helpful as this was the first time I had left Timmy alone for an extended period of time). Thank you so much Josefina!!

I know that the best thing for cats is to take care of them in their home,as they are a very territorial species and at the same time they get very stressed by change. So, if you need someone to visit, feed, and keep them clean, I am very willing to do it in your home. In the case of dogs, they are better recipients of change. Walking with them through parks can be very enriching, but if you also need someone to take care of them at home, when you are out, I am also available for that.
Information Josefina R. would like to know about your pet
It is vitally important that I be informed if the pet is undergoing any treatment, if it is in pain, or if it has behavioral problems. As well as being informed if they are aggressive with other pets or if there are places where they do not like to be petted. I can walk very large dogs if they are used to walking, and if it is something that they like. I have no problem with this.
A typical day
It all depends on the pet and what it likes to do. Therefore I will plan these activities according to the information provided to me by their tutors/owners. We can play with balls, other toys, jog a little, and we will always do these activities at the pace the pet wants. Let's go to your favorite parks together!

Availability
I am currently working remotely in something in the veterinary field, but I need contact with pets. I came to the country to accompany my husband (he is also a veterinarian and is pursuing a master's degree) and I intend to study and improve my English, since it is not very good. Thus, at first I will help myself with Google Translate to be able to communicate with the pet guardians. The good thing is that I don't need it to comunícate with cats and dogs😂
