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.

Information Josephine D. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate any special needs or sensitivities a pet may have. I can administer medicine, follow food sensitivities, or any other special requirements a dog or cat may need.

A typical day

My pets at home are very high energy cats. There are multiple cats in the household which causes a great need for metal stimulation, not to mention the litter box's daily maintenance. For mental stimulation I use wand toys as well as special lick mats and foraging style puzzle toys.

Honest & kind petcare for all pets

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
