I’ll Treat Your Pet Like my Ohana
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Thank you Josephine for taking such loving care of our Sadie! We know she enjoys your visits!
Booked Josie 2x a day while I was away for 2 days. I felt better knowing that Alika was in good hands and would get a good exercise while I was away for 1 night and 2 days. I also trust Josie to come in our home to get Alika while we are not there.
A neighbor who walks her dog at the park says she’s observed and relayed to me that Josie treats Alika with respect and handles him well. She can tell Josie really loves Alika and working with animals, as she’s seen Josie with other dogs too. Alika loves Josie and gets so excited to see her and if her dog Money and Jonah comes that’s an extra treat for Alika.
Josie is just great with Alika and he looks forward to his walks with her.

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.
Information Josephine L. would like to know about your pet
If the dog has any preferences, dislikes or fears towards certain people ie, children, people in uniform, men or women. I would also like to know of any allergies the dog may have. If a dog park is okay, does your dog have good social skills and are these social skills breed or size specific. Do you own or require a seat belt for your dog if it's decided that I will transport the dog anywhere. I love all breeds and have no preference.
A typical day
I can go for walks in your neighborhood or bring them to mine. I will also take your dog to the dog park if that is something you are comfortable with. I also like to bring my dog Money to walk or play with your pet which is great for high energy dogs. I’ve found that working on commands, practicing leash etiquette and using puzzle games is also great for their enrichment.
Services

Availability
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)
