Information Josephine L. would like to know about your pet

Information about your dogs temperament, feeding behavior, walking behavior, car riding needs, and social behavior are all important for me to know. Any extraordinary health information is also important (medications, food restrictions/ allergies, any limits on activity, injuries, etc).

A typical day

My dog and I live a pretty active lifestyle so fun activities include a lot of parks play, hikes and neighborhood walks! I am close to a lot of neighborhood parks and don’t mind driving to trails or even the beach for additional walks/ hikes. But if your pet prefers to be at home and couch cuddles, that’s great too!

Pet care experience

Greetings from a fellow animal lover! I have at least nine years of dog experience and have grown up with/ cared for a variety of dog breeds (mini Poodle, Pekingese, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, Corgi, Pomeranian, just to name a few!) I currently own a 6 pound Yorkie and he’s a ball of love. He gets along with everyone! I dedicate so much love and energy to my own pet’s well- being and will do the same for yours. Your pet’s health and happiness is my priority and I look forward to welcoming your fur friend into my home! Good communication with owners is key for me. My home is fairly spacious with a fenced in backyard for the pups to run and play in. I also lead a pretty active lifestyle so boarding at mine can include a lot of fun neighborhood walks, toy play, park play, and hikes (if that is something your pet likes)! But if your pet wants a more relaxed, calm environment that definitely works too.

I’m a repeat customer for a reason! Josephine has been fantastic every time she’s watched Paco. She’s kind, flexible, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I never have to worry when I’m away because I know Paco is safe, loved, and receiving excellent care.

It's clear Josie loves truffles and takes great care of her. It gives us comfort of mind our puppy is in good hands while we travel.

Josephine took amazing care of Paco! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and so well loved. Having that peace of mind made it so much easier to enjoy my trip. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again!
