Pet care experience
I’ll Treat Your Pet Like my Ohana
Updated May 2024 I have been a dog lover since I can remember! I have always taken great pleasure in taking care of my family members' dogs since I was old enough to go to pre-school. I have experience with sitting big dogs, little dogs and even puppies. Raising my 14 year old poodle and my street-rescue from small puppies to adults has been one of the greatest joys! I’m great at potty-training, exercising energetic dogs and caring for dogs with special needs. Rover has also helped me to gain more experience with rescue dogs who need a little extra TLC. I understand the importance of providing emotional support to dogs with separation anxiety as my dog struggles with this as well. My rescue lab mix is a wonderful companion to dogs of all ages & sizes. I will care for your pet as if it were part of my own family. 🤙🏻I’m accepting personal referrals for house sitting spanning over most of the aina. My service radius in my profile may not currently reflect this but please send a request anyways! 🩷 *I have been approved for base access multiple times and am familiar with the sponsor process.

Safety, trust & environment
House-sitting & Drop-In Visits: When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to follow their usual daily routine including: feedings, medications, walks & playtimes, dog park trips, potty routine, etc. I can also maintain duties around the house like pulling trash cans out, collecting mail & watering plants.
Ratings and reviews
Josephine is the absolute best house/pet sitter! Our two dogs love spending time with her while we are away. It gives us a great piece of mind knowing they are well cared for while we are traveling. Would highly recommend Tia gone looking for someone that not only takes fantastic care of pets but leaves the house spotless.
Josie is a gem. She has always been helpful with Alika. Josie helped me take him to the vet, it would have been so much harder for me without her there. I really appreciate all she does. Alika loves spending time with Josie, Jonah, and their dog Money when they come with her. They alway spend extra time with him and he loves that.
I’m glad Josie responded right away and was able to come at the last minute today. I strained a muscle and had pain walking, and it would have been difficult to walk him myself.
Josie comes prepared for the stormy days its pouring and flood watch warnings have been given, but Josie still showed up. Alika and I really appreciate Josie.
Alika was so happy to see Josie today. He always gets a good workout with Josie and loves her. Josie always spends more time with Alika than scheduled, which shows that she enjoys her time with him as well.
Josie, spends quality time with Alika. She often goes beyond the amount of time requested which indicates she really enjoys her time with Alika. Alika is a happy camper when he returns. Appreciate Josie for all she does and highly recommend her.

Schedule
I have weekly walks & drop-in visits at lunchtime and my own pets which may require me to leave for 4-6 hours at a time. Being able to provide services to multiple clients at a time helps me keep my rates low. I understand some pets may need more supervision and/or have special needs, and when possible I do my best to accommodate them. NEW CLIENTS/ 2024 News: I am currently limiting my 5+ day overnight-stays to once or twice a month, with possible up-charges for pets that require my full attention 24 hours a day, meaning I cannot leave during the day to complete other drop-in visits or walks. Starting in 2024, 24-hour supervision starts at $100 per day. (Pets that cannot be left alone for less than 1-4 hours)
