Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Caregiver with Integrity
Hi there! I’ve had a lifelong affinity for animals and have loved them for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with animal rescues and shelters and have also fostered from time to time. I currently work at a local veterinary clinic, so caring for animals and helping the people who love them is something that’s very meaningful to me. I’ve also become the go-to pet sitter for many of my neighbors over the years. Knowing that people trust me with their pets — and even their homes — means a lot to me, and it’s a responsibility I never take lightly. As a fellow pet owner, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away. My goal is to give you that peace of mind, knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ll treat your pets as I would my own, taking the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and needs, while making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities.

Safety, trust & environment
• When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. • Fresh, clean water is always available, and I wash food bowls after each feeding and water bowls each day. • I carefully follow your pet’s feeding schedule, medication routine, and any other care instructions you provide. • I’ll make sure all doors, gates, and fences are secure. • If your dog is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when I leave if that’s part of their normal routine. • I treat your home with respect, leaving it just as I found it and cleaning up any pet messes or accidents. • Potty breaks are tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs can receive more frequent breaks. • Every visit/day includes walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship based on your pet’s personality and energy level. • I send plenty of photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. • Above all, I care for every pet with the same attention, patience, and respect I give my own. Dog Walking Every walk is tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely sniff walk or a brisk outing, I’ll make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding preferred routes, avoiding other dogs or people, leash manners, or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable walking large, strong dogs, including those that pull, and I always prioritize safety.
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!

Schedule
I work full time at a veterinary clinic, but I also have two full days off each week and flexibility before and after work to provide reliable pet care. I’m able to schedule visits around my work hours and make pet care a priority in my schedule. On my days off, I have even more flexibility and can spend extra time with your pets. I’ll work with you to make sure their feeding, medication, potty, play, and other routines are followed as closely as possible. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
