Pet care experience

Trusted Pet Sitting You Can Rely On

With several years of hands-on experience on a farm, I've been able to care for dogs, cats and many other animals of varying ages and breeds. I offer thoughtful and consistent care tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I’ve worked with shy rescues, high-energy puppies, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. For dogs, I have experience with leash training, basic commands, and creating calm, consistent routines. For cats, I’ve built trust with even the most standoffish felines through patience and body language awareness. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just someone who loves animals, I bring both reliability and heart to every visit. I'll respect and treat them as though they were my own little ones.

Josephine did a great job and kept us updated when she had been to see our cat. We will definitely book her again 🙂

Josephine was the perfect sitter during my 4 day trip abroad. My mind was completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. She was very communicative, followed care instructions perfectly, left my house immaculate and most importantly my dog had a really lovely time with her! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible house sitter!

Thanks for saving the day with my long shifts! Felt at ease knowing Jackson had been given some loving, as well as his dinner and a pee 😅

Josie was amazing! She looked after 2 of our dogs and our cat while we were away on holiday, looked after our home and kept us up to date with pictures while we were away. We had total peace of mind knowing she was there, and we would not hesitate for a second to have her look after our furry family again! 11/10!!

Josephine did a great job. Very easy to deal with. She sent photos of our cat every day which was great. No issues at all. Would recommend.

Josephine accepted a last minute booking and I think my dog, Rufus, really liked her. He knows his usual dogsitters very well so I was a bit nervous about him never having met Josephine as he can be wary of strangers. Josephine sent photos of Rufus on his walk and he looked delighted! Will book again

Schedule

I am currently working part-time so have plenty of free time to look after pets. I'm an athlete so walking your pets is no problem whatsoever. I am always punctual, dependable, and respectful of your time. Pet care is something I prioritize with care and consistency. I currently offer flexible availability for morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to accommodate weekend and holiday bookings as well. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can count on me to keep things running smoothly and your pets happy and safe.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet, safe and gated residential area. There's lots of space in my flat for the pets to roam. I create a calm, pet-friendly space that’s clean, supervised, and adapted to each pet’s personality and needs. I take home security very seriously, always locking up. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their routine and environment so they feel safe, relaxed, and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully because every detail matters.

A typical day

With dogs, I make time for walks, games like fetch or tug and theres plenty of scenic, pet-friendly walking trails in a safe, natural setting. For puppies, I focus on calm structure and gentle redirection whilst keeping them engaged and on a healthy routine. For cats, a typical visit might include quiet bonding time, brushing, play sessions with their favourite toys, and of course, clean food bowls, fresh water, and a spotless litter box.
