Information Josephine H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special behaviours or needs that I can accommodate for. I have yet to come across something that I haven't been able to make work! The more information I have, the better I can make your pet's experience!

A typical day

Each pet's needs are different, but unless otherwise advised by you, I can promise long walks/play in the park & enormous amounts of cuddles & tummy scratches! There are multiple beautiful green spaces near me for your dog to explore with me. If you & your pup are comfortable to have them in my car, I am also more than happy to drive them to an adventure more further afield!

Pet care experience

I'm back on Rover after a bit of life upheaval & house moving! Consistently dog sat multiple dogs whilst living in London and have looked after many friends and family dogs over the years whilst being unable to have one of my own. I love dogs and would love to be a dog mum one day! I had my own cats for 12 years and they were my absolute pride and joy! I will happily tailor any pet-sitting to the pet and owner; lots of playtime and cuddles or long walks and an afternoon nap, as long as your pet is happy, I'm happy!

Josie was amazing when looking after our dog Riley. As our first time using a sitter, we were a little anxious. However Josie put our minds at ease straight away and looked after riley like one of her own. Sending photos of their time together, riley loved Josie playing ball with him in the garden. I would 100% recommend Josie to look after your pet.

Josie was a brilliant dog-sitter. It was our first time using a dog-sitter that we didn't previously know, but we immediately felt at ease. She was communicative, respectful to our home and most importantly, our dog loved her. We'll definitely be booking again (and you should too)!

Josie was absolutely fabulous and we are so appreciative that she was able to stay with and look after our cat Juju for a whole week. Juju clearly took to her! Will definitely be asking her to look after our fur babies again. Thank you, Josie!
