Married, retired, no children or pets at home, my attention and time is with your dog. If my husband isn’t working, he is helpful and joins in providing fun and company for your furry one. With a maximum 2 pooches at a time, my days are spent outdoors and indoors, swimming, walking, cycling, reading, painting, listening to music, Netflix and simply hanging out with my fur friends. It brings me joy to be in the company of furry ones. I enjoy playing with their dog toys like “tug a war”, throwing a ball or frisbee.

About Josephine H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Reading a pets personality is important and allowing them to accept me comes quickly. Dogs boarding at my cottage will be happy with my idyllic, rural, waterfront location. They can enjoy swimming, walking or hanging outdoors/indoors with me. It is important for me to know if your dog has good recall or needs to be leashed at all time whilst outdoors.
Home
Information Josephine H. would like to know about your pet
I like to receive a printout or email from the pooch parents of feeding/ treats times and portions, daily routine, doggy likes and dislikes, quirks, special needs, obedience level etc..... I always confirm start/end dates and arrival/departure times. Most often if a client needs to make changes, I am able to adapt accordingly.
A typical day
A typical day is cooing & cuddling/pats when waking up, feedings, walks and playtime. Reading the dogs needs may involve spending time outdoors, relaxing indoors and simply enjoying each others company. I follow the needs and instructions of the dog owner to ensure your pet is happy and enjoying their days with me.

Reviews
Our young and energetic labrador had a wonderful weekend with Josephine who kept us updated throughout his stay.He had lots of exercise and swimming g which he adores and he came back to us happy and content. We would highly recommend Josephine’s service and will be booking her again when we need care for Jib!
Josephine has such a calm and centred energy. She is responsive in her communication and was diligent having a meet and greet before hosting Luna. Luna can lack confidence with other dogs, Josephine was a strong leader in managing hosting 2 dogs at once so Luna came home well and content.
Josephine is so great! She cares deeply about animals, and is very loving and kind to our pup. She has a beautiful property on the lake, which is perfect for our pup who is very active and loves to run around/swim. She takes good care to bring him on long walks too and frequently sends updates with photos, which is really appreciated. Remi is already looking forward to his next visit. We recommend Josephine highly!
Josephine recently took care of my 2 standard poodles - 12 years old and 4 years old. The 4 year old was rehomed to me a year ago and is a challenging dog. Josephine was just fantastic with both of them - taking care of the 12 year old's mobility issues and making sure the 4 year old was exercised and entertained. It was so clear from the photos Josephine sent that both pups were having a grand time and we have already booked their next stay!
