Availability
~PLEASE READ~ As a grad student, my Monday-Friday daytime availability is somewhat limited. I will always be able to take dogs out on walks in the morning before leaving for school and will usually be available to return for a quick midday walk (with the exception of Friday). Monday, Wednesday and Friday I finish around 5, and Tuesdays and Thursdays, I finish later around 6:30. If this schedule seems to be compatible with your dog's then feel free to reach out! My weekend availability will remain pretty open.

About Josephine B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The walk-through that we will do together before the visits is crucial to learning about the animal's environment and specific safety concerns in the house. For dogs, whether they are free roaming, indoor/outdoor, or in a crate, I will assure that all precautions are taken to keep them and your house safe and secure.
Information Josephine B. would like to know about your pet
The more information I have about your pet's specific needs, the better I can prepare! I've worked with animals (including my own) that had particular issues like separation anxiety, diabetes and cataracts. Any other information regarding triggers, special routines or places to avoid will be super helpful.
A typical day
It's important to take the time to get to know each animal's personality to understand what they like and the type of interaction they prefer. From the most outgoing to the most reserved, I'll adjust to make sure your pet feels comfortable and is getting the exercise and attention they need.

Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Josephine and I would love to care for your furry companions! I've been the proud pet parent of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, and a rabbit. In addition to spending 14 amazing years with my late Chihuahua/terrier mix who was blind and faced a number of health issues, I have a variety of experience walking and sitting dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I've done both short- and long-term pet sitting with a number of breeds, from Anatolian Shepherds to Boston Terriers and have also cared for dogs dealing with emotional issues. I have experience administering medication and gained practical experience as a shelter volunteer and at a veterinary training camp. But most importantly, I absolutely love animals, so spending time with them is a blast, not a chore. I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Josephine did a fantastic job! She was on time, followed our instructions, and shared awesome pictures with us! Thank you!
Josephine always takes great care of our pup, whether dog sitting or a check-in. Highly recommend!
Josephine always takes great care of Rita! Highly recommend.
Josephine did a terrific job watching our dog, Rita, over a long weekend! Rita can be very anxious but seemed to bond with her quickly. Josephine gave us regular updates with photos and was always responsive. We will definitely use her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable dog sitter.
