Safety, trust & environment

I treat all dogs as if they were my own! I make sure they are comfortable with my presence by letting them come to me first. I will also take them for nice long walks to tire them out. A tired dog is a happy dog and I love to walk for exercise as well!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on brisk walks to get our energy up as well as offer mental stimulation by letting them take their time to sniff their surroundings.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember! Growing up with a parent who was allergic meant that I took every opportunity I could to pet everyone’s dog. I am a reliable sitter for friends and family and have even sat guide dogs in-training at my college!

Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)

Josephine is amazing with our two pups! She is so patient and sweet with our anxious dog, and we’d recommend her to anyone!

Josie did an amazing job dog-sitting my dog, Bennie! From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with animals. Bennie absolutely adored her, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated throughout with photos and messages. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Josie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
