Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Caregiver with Integrity
Hi there! I have volunteered at various animal rescues and shelters over the years, and I have occasionally fostered. Since childhood, I’ve had a strong affinity for animals and have always sought their companionship. As a fellow pet owner, I understand how worrisome it can be to find a trustworthy caregiver. My goal is to ease your concerns. I love what I do, and it’s an honor to be entrusted with your beloved pets and home. I take this responsibility seriously, prioritizing your pets' comfort and safety above all else.

Josephine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
While at my home: •Pets always have access to clean filtered water •As a precaution dogs are separated by a secure gate during feeding, including if high value chews are provided •Food bowls are washed before every feeding and the water bowl is washed daily •If your dog requires to be crated at home, please bring your dogs crate so that I may also crate your dog when I’m gone •When I leave my home I use an indoor camera to monitor your pet •I keep all exit doors locked even when I’m home so that a door can’t be pushed open, and the back gate is always locked •Potty trained dogs are allowed on the sofa and to sleep in my king size bed. I also have two dog beds that your dog is free to use. Feel free to bring your dogs own bed if you think they will be more comfortable in their own bed •When I’m gone I leave background noise (radio or tv) on and if I’m gone and it’s dark I leave a light on •They will have access to a big basket of toys. Feel free to bring their favorite toys, or if they tend to destroy toys, please bring their own and some chew toys •I do have a cat who gets along with dogs, as long as the dog is respectful of his space and aggressively chase or bark at him •I don’t keep any food items on the counter or within reach of pets. The cats food and litter box are kept in an area that dogs don’t have access to •Dogs get two long walks daily in addition to multiple potty breaks and an outdoor play with other dogs if they are friendly. I will accommodate even more potty breaks if a dog is potty training ir just needs to go out more often. •Dogs get lots of love, pets, playtime and daily cheese tax! 😄 I also tend to give the dogs organic ground beef or chicken in their food, sometimes a little broccoli and carrots. If you prefer your dog does not partake in bonus food, that’s perfectly fine. Just let me know. •Your dog will be cared for in a clean environment. I keep my home neat and clean. I also do not use toxic cleaners or fragrances (no plug in scents, no harsh chemicals) since I take a more holistic approach. In your home: •I will follow all instructions provided and care for them with the same high standard I would as if they were in my own home (see above) Dog Walking: Provide your dog(s) exercise to maintain their physical health and mental stimulation while adhering to specific instructions from the pet parent regarding routes, avoiding other dogs and/or people and any special needs (like leash pulling or behavior issues). I’m able to walk strong dogs who pull hard.
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend! Josephine is a truly excellent pet sitter and person. Many people I know have trusted her with their pets and in their homes, and we have all been so thankful for the attention, love, and care she gives our pets. Josephine is someone you will be very happy with and thankful for.😊❤️


Josephine was incredible! She took amazing care of our dogs, Frankie and Sydney, and truly loved them to pieces. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and will happily book her again.


We love Josephine! Both of our dogs are always very excited to go and see her, and she always sends great pictures of what all the dogs are getting up to during the day and on their walks. She's a fantastic communicator and we're thrilled to always have tired but happy dogs after a day with Josephine. Can't recommend enough!
Josephine is Intelligent, compassionate, trustworthy, and accommodating. Provided great feedback and training insights.

Thank you for doing an incredible job with our dog! You were so kind, caring and attentive with him!

Diamond always has a great with Josephine whether it’s a daycare stay or boarding. I’m grateful to have found her!

Schedule
I’m home in between dog walking and pet drop-in visits, but never gone for more than a few hours (usually less) at a time. I work from home. I’m generally home for the evening unless I happen to have one or two half hour evening drop in visits or Bible study. Your pet wouldn’t be left alone very much. My dog daycare hours are from 7am- 6pm. If you need extended hours, please consult with me. If you have to drop your dog off for boarding before 6:30am, please schedule to drop your dog off the night before. Pickup for boarding is no later than 9:30pm.
