Pet care experience

Honest & kind petcare for all pets

I have been raised with dogs my entire life. Before I was born there were large dogs in the house which I grew up alongside. As I grew the number of pets in the house increased to include exotic animals like reptiles and farm animals. From 9 years old I was individually responsible for the care of a flying squirrelly who lived a happy life until she aged. From 13, myself and my siblings were responsible for the care of large and small farm animals as well as four dogs in the household at one time. My unique experience with many types of animals makes me a prepared caretaker ready to take on any challenge your pets may have.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

All pets recieve me full devotion when they have my time. Dogs and cats require more connection with people than many realize so I strive to maintain their activity needs as well as their attention needs. Furthermore, any pets that are supposed to stay indoors will stay indoors and pets will be fed and walked promptly. Medicine will be administered any way and any time the pet parent requires.

Leaving a pet behind while traveling is never easy, but Josephine made the experience completely stress-free. She was a fantastic house sitter who took wonderful care of my dog, Emma, and kept me updated with regular messages while I was in Germany. Beyond being great with pets, she also tended to my garden during my two-week absence. If you are looking for someone reliable and attentive, I cannot recommend Josephine highly enough!

Josie did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats while I was away for 1.5 weeks. We had her house sit for us which was our first time doing that. We were a little nervous having someone we didn’t know stay at our house but Josie went about and beyond to take care of our home and the fur family. She left our house spotless, the cats fed, medicated and played with. Thank you so much Josie!

Thank you Josephine for house sitting and taking care of my cats 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛. I have to say it was my first time ever getting a house sitter so I was a little nervous. I was away for two weeks and never felt so at peace knowing she was at my house with the boys! She sent me regular videos and photos. There was a big storm while I was gone. A huge branch fell in the backyard. Josephine handled it like a pro by communicating with me and coordinating with the neighbors. I came back to an impeccable house and happy boys 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛. She’s a pro 🩵 I will absolutely contact Josephine again in the future. Total peace of mind. Thank you tons Josephine!

Josephine dog/housesat for us while we were out of the country for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful! We truly could not have asked for more. She was very quick to communicate, checked in with us daily with pictures and videos, gave our sweet girl lots of walks and attention, and was able to keep up perfectly with her tricky medication schedule. It is very challenging for us to leave our medically complicated pup, but Josephine’s care made it possible and stress free! She left our home very tidy and even went above and beyond changing our sheets, vacuuming our dog hair couch, and harvesting our fruit tree! Very highly recommend Josephine and are looking forward to working with her again!
