Loving and Patient Pet Care
I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and a tortoise for a few years until he got too big (lol). I absolutely love all animals and I am a wildlife major at West Virginia University, where I have learned the responsibilities of proper care of all animals including pets! I love taking my dog Stella for walks and would love to be active with any pets whether that’s a walk, playing outside/inside, or just keeping them company! I have dog sat since I was 13 for almost all my family members and respect the space and comfort of all pets!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Josie is an amazing, trustworthy caregiver who takes exceptional care of our two dogs whenever we’re out of town. She gives them plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and they are always thrilled to see her because she treats them like part of her own family.
Josie cared for my dogs and was wonderful with them. She stayed at our house and fed, walked, and played with them. My one dog has anxiety and digestive problems. Josie gave our dog her medicine with each meal and kept her on their schedule. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how they were doing. You can truly tell how much she loves animals.
I highly recommend Josephine as a pet caregiver. She has cared for our two dogs, and we’ve always been impressed with how responsible, kind, and trustworthy she is. She has a calm, patient nature that our dogs respond well to, and she takes the time to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. She made sure our dogs got plenty of exercise and was diligent about giving one of them the medication she needs. I would trust Josephine with our pets anytime and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Schedule
I’m currently unemployed for the summer because of online classes, but my days are extremely free even with 30 minutes - an hour of my time taken for the class. The class is also only once a week on any day, so it’s very flexible with managing pet care and getting class work done!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have one, very friendly dog, Stella, who is 8 years old but she enjoys puppies, younger dogs, and older dogs! I will separate them for eating/treat purposes as I wouldn’t want either pet to get defensive over their food if I am pet sitting at my house. I have pet sat at friends and family’s homes and follow directions clearly, but if I am uncertain of any instruction, I will always double check with the owner before continuing my pet care.
Pets
A typical day
I love to go out on walks, play with toys outside or inside, or just chill on the couch with the dogs I have watched. I just want them to feel at home no matter what we do!
