Pet care experience

A lovely day at the farm

***Pets who stay overnight enjoy a complimentary bath and groom before going home*** 🐈‍⬛ Is your pup not cat friendly? NO PROBLEM! 🖤 Flea prevention is a MUST for every pet. 🖤 🐾Insured for pet sitting and boarding🐾 I’ve always loved dogs, growing up beside a 110 smart and sassy German shepherd shaped me into the patient and understanding pet owner I am today. I will love all the good boys and girls just as I do my own dogs. For the last 10 years I’ve worked in the animal service industry and for the last 5 I have been the main caregiver to an elderly woman’s farm animals and 32 acre farm. I’m caring, patient, reliable, respectful and most of all dependable.

Josie is WONDERFUL. The pups and I love her. She is so kind and caring with them. She kept me informed of their well being with thoughtful comments and excellent pictures. She is the BEST! I appreciate her!

This was my pups first time staying with Josephine and their stay could not have gone any better! They had so much fun, love and attention and all the pictures Josephine sent me over their stay showed that in their happy and content faces! They came home completely unstressed and relaxed which speaks volumes on how their stay actually went. My trip went wonky and Josephine was so kind to work with me thru a difficult situation and I can't thank her enough for her kindness!!! I will gladly have my pups staying with Josephine again with confidence. Also, her pups are the sweetest ever and were very welcoming to my girls!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and never leave animals out without supervision. I have 2 dogs and 1 barn cat of my own, I have the means to separate my dogs from yours with 2 separate fenced in areas if needed. In our home the pets are treated like family and welcomed on the furniture for snuggles. I do carry insurance specifically for pet sitters.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will have a blast sniffing around the yard, walking in my quiet neighborhood, playing fetch or just laying around. I can handle high energy dogs just fine (I have a boarder collie and a Heeler) as well as giant breed dogs. My yard is fenced so we enjoy lots of outside time early in the morning and head inside to the AC once it gets hot.
