Pet care experience

Energy to match your dog at any age

My kids and I are dog and cat lovers. We look forward to teaming up to care for your pet while you are away. I've had my own dogs for the last 18 years and they are beloved members of our family. We've had a wide variety of personalities in our own dogs, including some fosters who had experienced prior trauma, and I feel comfortable with caring for all types of dogs. We don't have any pet cats as I am allergic, but I used to volunteer for an animal rescue and care for foster cats up for adoption at Petco when we lived in North Carolina so my daughter (13) could get her kitty cuddles, and we would be happy to drop in on your cats while you are away. I will be responsible for your pet, and with your permission, my son (14) and/or daughter will be my apprentice(s) as they learn more about the responsibilities of pet care and earn some money for themselves.

So glad my cat had Josephine to take care of him! I loved getting photos and updates from her and could tell he was very relaxed around her.

Josephine and her daughter did a great job with drop-in visits taking care of our dog Sadie. Flexible and accommodating to our schedule with daily check-in pictures. Will definitely use again on our next trip.

Josephine and her kiddo did great on giving my kitties some love, sending me updates, and taking care of my space! Very appreciative of them!

Josephine is a wonderful pet sitter. I never worry when I'm gone, and she even remembers things from earlier visits and asks if they are still valid.
