Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog Owner!

Hi, I’m Josephine, a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of professional pet sitting experience and a soft spot for senior and special needs pets. I recently lost my 15-year-old German Shepherd/Collie mix, who had diabetes, and while I’m not ready for a new pup of my own just yet, I have plenty of love, care, and couch cuddles to give. My background includes: • Extensive experience with senior dogs and pets who require meds or special diets • Weekend volunteer work with the BG Humane Society • A current feline household of five (yes, five) cats, so I’m totally comfortable with multi-pet homes and sassy personalities I work full-time during the week but am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care on evenings, weekends, and some lunch breaks with advance notice. I’m extremely communicative, respectful of your space, and committed to keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, your cat needs a snack and some playtime, or you’re looking for overnight care while you travel, I’ve got you covered.

I have too much attention to give to your dog. I would give them plenty of pets and playtime. Not to mention time outside! I can also accommodate any special needs or diet your pet has!

Josephine was communicative from the very beginning, kept us updated with lots of photos, and we always felt completely at ease. We would happily book her again!

Josie is absolutely INCREDIBLE. My pups adored her and so did we. I’ve never seen my pups warm up to someone so quickly. She is meant to love animals and I am so grateful we found her!

Josephine did an awesome job dropping in on my cats and checking on them while I was on vacation. I appreciated her clear communication and fast responses!
