I work with troubled dogs
I was born into a house of at least a dozen dogs and cats not to mention the farm animals. I have never lived without animals and since 2022 I volunteered then worked at CHN until its physical location closed due to financial problems. During my time at CHN I have worked with dogs of all kinds, all sizes and all temperaments. The best feeling for me has been earning the trust of dogs who were labeled dangerous, a bite risk, and or otherwise untouchable.
Qualifications
Animaux
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
This question largely depends on the pet and the environment… for instance, some of the shelter dogs would relax a considerable amount if I let them free roam with me while I did chores, whereas other dogs were too much of a flight risk or, were recovering from something and couldn’t free roam. In general I try to keep the stress level of whatever animal I’m working with as low as possible. If that means giving them their space and pretending they don’t exist, then that’s what I do if it means sitting on the floor and waiting an hour for them to curl up next to me so be it, if they need near constant petting and reassurance I am here. Speaking with people who interact with and know the animal the most is where I base most of how I interact with an animal beyond that I mostly read body language. Sometimes there are things I have to do, like give medication, that the animal does not appreciate but I try my best to make it as hassle free as possible, and apologize/make it up to them afterwards.

Very loving to our pet and on time
Josephine was a wonderful dog sitter who cared for our two dogs and kept them happy, safe, and well-loved the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and the peace of mind she gave us.
It is so nice to know that my puppy is in such good hands. Josephine is a pro!
Calendrier et disponibilités
Dates de la garde
I take my dog for a walk after going pee in the morning and then if I’m home I spend as much of the day with her as possible. If I’m at school or somewhere that doesn’t allow dogs I make sure to give her something to chew on while I’m out and take her into the yard when I get back before cuddle time.

- If your pet has any medical problems like arthritis or they’re currently taking heartworm medication that’s pretty important for me to know so that I don’t worsen their symptoms. I’d also like to know any behavioral things you deem important. For instance if I walk in the door and they pee on the floor is that normal or is that something I should contact you about? Ideally if you are not there to meet me the first time I meet your pet i’d like to know some of their favorite things and any pet peeves they may have to help introductions go smoothly. Pun intended.
