Active,Loving & Experienced Dog Mom

Pet care experience

I have been training and taking care of dogs, cats, and farm animals for over 11 years now, and lived with and loved them my entire life. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, ailments, and ages! There is nothing quite like loving a dog, and being loved back by them unconditionally. I am the type of animal mom that wants the pups sleeping in bed with me, doesn't mind the cat napping on my laptop while I'm using it, and has dog hair accessorizing all of my outfits. So, basically, animals are my everything. I currently have two fur kids, a tender-hearted black mouth cur/pitbull mix rescue, Ralphie, and his sister, Stevie, an super silly Cairn Terrier Mix, and they are the center of my world. Ralphie was trained by me, he is incredibly loving, and full of cuddles and is the chillest dog. He tested for and is recognized by the American Kennel Club as a CGC, a Good Canine Citizen. Stevie is trained by me and a professional, and she is full of energy, intelligence, and lots of kisses! They are the yin and yang of my life. All three of us are happy to offer boarding, sitting, and walkies for your dog(s) in your neighborhood and ours!

Josephine is the ultimate dog person! She & Jared took such amazing care of my Tasha; she didn’t want to leave! She is incredibly attentive to your dog’s needs, & as an animal lover, she truly enjoys what she does. I’d recommend Josephine to ANYONE! I know for sure Tasha will want to go back the next time we take a trip. Thanks, Josephine, Jared, & Ralphie! :)

Josephine watched my great Dane Kingston. I was called out of town for work on short notice and was so lucky to find her. I can't thank her enough for taking care of my huge baby! Josephine took great care of him, gave me constant updates and photos (which I love to get when I am away), and looked after the place while I was gone. Kingston loved Josephine so much, he was sad she didn't stay after I came back. I highly recommend her to anyone. She has a great love for dogs and has a wealth of knowledge of taking care of pets.

Josephine is awesome!! She has a wonderful out-going personality and is great with our boxer Apollo. He took to her right away and we knew our pup was in good hands. Josephine was attentive with our instructions and continuously kept us updated during our time away. We were hesitant to use a sitter service just because we had never done so before, but we will definitely be asking her to house/dog sit again for future trips.

Josephine has walked, watched, and cared for my dog on several occasions. When Josephine cares for my dog, she keeps the house neat and tidy, stays in communication with me on a regular basis, sends photos, and I always feel safe and comfortable knowing my sweet rottie, Zeus, is in her loving hands. She is conscientious, patient, professional, and kind. Above all, Josephine is trustworthy, and my dog loves her. I would be happy to provide a personal references whenever she may need it.
