Professional Animal Caretaker
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Josephine! Since moving to Virginia in 2018, I have been finding my way through the animal field, working at two different animal hospitals, including a specialist, Heritage Humane Society, and Busch Gardens in the zoological department. I am a Vet tech student and currently working at a well known veterinary clinic in Williamsburg, as well an an emergency veterinary clinic. I have experience in pet sitting in the local area as well! I am comfortable with a large variety of species, special needs (behavioral or medical), and sizes of animals. I hope to welcome your pet with open arms, and provide the care that you need!
Reviews
Josephine was really great!!! Easy to work with. Came home to great house with most important, happy cats. Loved the photo updates. And her learning the crazy cat characteristics they have. Like one loving plastic and getting excited about Amazon packages! Looking to booking many more with her. Thank you!
Josephine took care of my 2 senior cats again. One gets insulin twice a day and, on top of that, was still dealing with a stomach issue (ugh!) of sorts. She not only came by and gave the shots but arranged to get more medicine from the vet and gave that to him as well. She went above and beyond. Would definitely call on her again. Highly recommend. So glad to have found her.
Josephine is a life-saver! I needed someone to visit my cats while I was out of town. One of my guys has to have insulin twice a day and Josephine is experienced in giving injections. At the last minute he was given another medication for a recent bout of diahrea (ugh!) and she had no problem adding it to the task list (and the meds helped!). It is a comfort knowing that she also works for a local vet. She came over ahead of time to meet my guys and get the key. Very sweet demeanor. My little ones are shy but I'm sure they were comfortable with her. I've scheduled her to come again and I feel I can relax and know that things will be taken care of. So thankful to find someone I can count on.
Crumpet was very happy and contented to have Josephine looking after him. She arrived promptly each day at her appointed time and followed all of her directions precisely. She is an excellent sitter whom I highly recommended.

Information Josephine L. would like to know about your pet
While I’m willing to work with any special type of furry friend, I just need to know the best way to keep both of us safe! Medical needs are also a first priority of course.
A typical day
I love long walks or hikes! If you’re ok with it I’d love to take your pet on a little field trip! Otherwise playing in the yard or house is fine with me! Tug of war is my specialty:)

Availability
Since I do work full-time, I will be able to do a quick stop in before work in the morning, and during my lunch break. After work in the evening I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you are comfortable with! Weekend are usually free for me, as well as my day off during the week, which usually falls on a Wednesday.
