Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & active dog lover
With a lifelong passion for animals, I've lived with pets in the Peak District since the age of six and started my first pet care role at just 13 years old. As a qualified dog walker and pet care provider, I hold a Dog Training Diploma (CPD, QLS) and a Canine First Aid qualification (CPD, UKRLP), giving you complete peace of mind that your dog is in safe, knowledgeable hands. Based in Chinley, I provide reliable and professional dog walking and pet care services throughout the local area, covering locations within a 5-mile radius. Whether your canine companion needs regular walks, one-to-one care, or expert handling, you can trust me to deliver a caring, experienced, and personalised service.

Josephine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I would want to know everything from you about your pets needs, from daily routine to key voice commands to ensure a safe and trusting environment is maintained. I'd follow your lead on their needs and work within the four pillars of of the positively approach (as taught by Victoria Stilwell; appreciate the dogs point of view, recognise and meet the dogs needs, understand and apply positive training/ leadership, avoid fear and intimidation).
Ratings and reviews
Josie was a fantastic minder for my cat Poppy. She took endless notes when she first visited, so I was very confident. She sent daily updates and pictures whilst we were away, and it was lovely to see our normally cautious cat respond to her so positively. Thank you Josie!
Patch absolutely loves Josie who was fantastic at using her experience to get to know him quickly. Will definitely be booking more walks for Patch.
Fabulous service. Highly recommended and my pooch loves walking with Josie
Excellent handling of a difficult dog!
Leo has had a pawesome time! Thank you so much for accommodating Leo pops at short notice and the lovely photos when you were out and about. I will definitely book again

Schedule
A great lover of the outdoors I am out hiking or running in the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District daily with my own rescue hound Rupert. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and been lucky enough to have three of my own rescues. My current boy Rupert was adopted at 11 weeks and I have trained him to be a friendly and obedient beast (he's 45kgs!). I have a dog training diploma and canine first aid qualification and I'm in the process of studying for diplomas in dog behaviour and nutrition to formalise my experience. I also have two moggies, Loki and Stewie who we adopted from a local farm who love the wild environment we live in and their snuggles in bed every day.
