A Better Way Dog Walking : )

Pet care experience

Check me out on Facebook at a Better Way Dog Walking! Dogs have an instinctual need to roam. But many dogs are unable to fulfill that need. Understandably, it is difficult to give our dogs all the socialization and exercise they really need. So that is where I come in. I love to walk dogs. There is not much that beats the feeling of getting "in sync" with a dog. It is not about "showing the dog who's boss". It's about connecting with an animal and tapping into that natural urge to migrate. So you can trust me to deal with your worst pullers, wanderers and draggers. If you are not dealing with major or dangerous behavior issues, I can help your pup master the walk. I am well-read on animal behavior and have experience as a volunteer dog walker as well as a house- and pet-sitter. My goal is to become a service dog trainer. I feel the best way to learn is to listen to my clients, the dogs themselves! I firmly believe communication is more important than obedience. With me you will not only get a dog lover, but one who will strive to really connect and understand your pup! I am available for house-sitting, daily or occasional walks and check-ins. I am even available on weekends!. Give me a call and see the difference a good walk will make in your dog! I can also care for your animals and home when you have to be away. I have experience with many kinds of critters. I have a dog myself who is very sociable and friendly who can give your dog or dogs even more companionship. So ask me about my housesitting and boarding services!

Josephine was awesome with my elderly frail dog. I came home to a happy dog! She also did great with my cats AND my Macaws. Iveralk, a pleasure to work with. She gave me peace of mind. :-)

I've known Josefine K for about 2 years now. She is actually one of our clients for the printing company I work for. She is always very friendly, courteous and professional. She brought her dog Charlie into the shop when he was a puppy. He was crazy puppy X 10! I thought "She's got her hands full with this little guy". She told me how she was researching all kinds of training techniques, going on-line, reading articles etc. Well low and behold the next time she came in he was behaving nicely and knew quite a few commands! I've seen how patient and motivated she is with training him. She obviously has a great love for animals and is calm and caring. Josefine would be a wonderful asset to your service.

Josefine cares deeply for the people and animals in her care, getting to know them and learning how best to meet their needs. She is very inquisitive and regularly researches resources and best practices. I’ve known Josefine in a professional setting and have found her to have a strong work ethic. She often goes above and beyond what is asked of her. I feel very confident in recommending her to care for people’s beloved pets.
