Safety, trust & environment
My home is spacious with 3 friendly cats and 3 well-socialized dogs who all coexist peacefully and are used to having new furry friends around for a temporary time. Pets in my home are all treated like family where they receive plenty of love, playtime, cuddles and socialized attention. My backyard is fenced in for safe outdoor exercise or just to hangout and catch a breeze on a nice day, my neighborhood also includes many quiet side streets for daily walking if needed. My home is air conditioned on those days that are just too hot and heated when it gets too cold. There is a big basket on the floor full with multiple types of toys, an easy accessible water bowl that's refilled at least 3xs per day, food or things on counter is not left anywhere that can be easily reached and harmful plants/chemicals to animals are not brought/used in my home.

Information Josephine J. would like to know about your pet
I understand the importance of finding someone who will love your pets like family as well as keep their schedule as if you never left! Before every booking I like to get to know your pet's routine, personality and any other special needs they may have. This may include feeding schedule/portions, food allergies, sensitivities or restrictions, medications, their normal daily routine (normal time for walks, naps & playtime.)
A typical day
A typical day at my home is very busy, with 3 dogs and 3 cats running around there is a lot of excitement to experience, especially for an only pet. The day starts off early (6a.m.-7a.m.) with a morning bathroom break and some fresh morning air, followed by breakfast and more relaxation. Throughout the day my dogs may start to want to play and get more active with each other. There is plenty of time for outdoor exercise and playtime, neighborhood walks (walks are delayed or walked early in cases of extreme heat on pavement,) and supervised socialized time with other pets if that's in the visiting pups means! Inside my home they have many cozy spots for a nap, toys to enjoy, a daily refreshed water bowl and lots of individual attention and belly rubs. Evenings are for dinner and winding down with calmer activities like cuddling or relaxing on their own in their own cozy spot so your pup will feel safe, happy and just like they're at home.

Pets
Every pet is treated like family
Pet care experience
I have been a lifelong animal lover since I was a little kid, My first pet being a sweet stray cat my family took in before I was even 5 years old. I have years of hands-on experience caring for and loving pets, my own of course and many others that have trusted me to care for theirs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pets personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away on summer vacation or for a couple days on work. Regardless of age, energy level or if your dog/cat simply needs more snuggles, exercise or play time throughout the day. While I am new to Rover I have a lot of experience with things like daily dog walking, providing medications (pills, topical treatments,) house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking and even boarding pets in my home. I am also great at reading an animals body language which helps me connect better with anxious or shy pets to help make them feel as comfortable as possible.

Reviews
Josie took care of our five pets for eight days while we were away on a family vacation, and I can honestly say it made a huge difference in how much we were able to relax. Leaving that many pets with someone is never easy, but from the start, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident they were in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about each of our pets as individuals. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and everything in great shape. It was clear she stayed on top of routines, needs, and all the little details that matter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like her own, Josie is it. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch our pets again.
Great sitter! Took great care of my Lucky and sent cute pics to make sure I know she was being well loved as always! Would book again.
