Experienced-Home Fulltime-Reliable

We offer pick up & drop off $20 extra each way Throughout my life my family and i have owned a few dogs. I always loved spending time with them teaching new tricks or playing outside with them. I’ve always felt a strong connection towards animals while being around them makes me happy! My goal is to provide a safe space for dogs where they can also feel happy, comfortable and taken care of. I have experience with giving dogs a feeding schedule, making sure their medications are given correctly/on time, also comforting them if they seem uncomfortable or homesick. I know each dog is different, some need stricter schedules, which i am willing to do. If you'd like me to take care of your dog then i will do my best to make them comfortable and also make sure to give them enough exercise, sunshine, and attention. Side note: I've also had some experience at the local Petco.

We have used Josephine for the past several years and have been very happy with her care for our dog! We will continue using her in the future!

She's always great and sends lots of pictures. Waffles always has a great time, and we know she's getting the best care.

Josephine was great! She took care of Luna for a week. She sent pictures throughout the day and update how Luna was doing. Very reliable and I felt so safe leaving Luna with her. Thank you so much!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and another dog named beau, he’s a friendly miniature Australian Shepard and can keep your pup company! I usually take the dogs out in the back yard at least a few times a day, let them go in the pool if they like, throw the ball or just let them sniff around if that’s what they want to do. Sometimes I’ll do park or dog beach trips as well!

Pets

A typical day

If the pups and i are just relaxing at home then maybe we can cuddle or watch a movie together. If they feel like they're in a playful mood then we'll play some tug-o-war, i'll thow some toys around for them, or we can go in the pool if they're comfortable getting wet. When we go on walks together we'll be walking down Linda Vista Dr if he/she is more shy, anxious, and reserved or go to Sunset Park if more social.

I have no breed preferences, i accept any type of dog, but i do have some some importaint quiestions i'd like to be sent to me. 1) Has your dog had any history with "real" biting or attacking? 2) Which specific details do i need to know about your reasurrance and your dog? 3) Can they go in the pool? 4) Which hand & word signals is your dog familiar with? 5) Will you be providing the food? If not, which food does your dog prefer? I also want you to know that if the meeting doesn't go well between my dog and yours, that it doesn't mean i wont take your dog in. I will just keep them seperated or watch them carefully when together.
