Pet care experience

Responsible, caring, and loving

Hello! My name is Josie. I am a 21 year old college student studying early childhood education at University of Hawaii Manoa. I have grew up around dogs, and currently have two of my own who live with my mom in California. Since around the age of 13 I have watched multiple of my neighbors/ family friends pets. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal.

Josephine took great care of Milo and Honey. She handled a hiccup with urgency and care and my pets seemed almost too content when I came back home. 😉 she always responds quickly and didn’t skip a beat to contact me when anything happened that needed attention. She’s a lovely person.

Josie has always been great with pets. She has a natural energy that pets are drawn towards. Her playful and energetic demeanor will ensure that your pets will be lovingly cared for.

Josie P. is a loving, attentive, and kind woman. She is thoughtful and thorough in everthing she does. Josie has always had a love for animals, taking time out of her day to stop and admire any kind of pet. Josie has a very calming presence that animals feel comfortable around. Every dog I have seen Josie interact with has loved her and never gotten aggressive, even if they have a previous history of agression. Josie has dog-sat for three of my dogs and they loved her. I strongly encourage you to hire her to care for your pet.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently a full time student who does not live with animals so getting to spend time with your animals would be such a treat. Because I am at school on morning I often go on walks in the afternoons so being able to bring a furry friend would be even better.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood. It's near a school where I often see other dogs running around as well! Your dog would be well cared for in my home. It does have a small set of stairs so if that's an issue please let me know.

A typical day

When providing care for your animals I will take them on walks, to the dog park, play with them, anything that you already do to ensure they are comfortable!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or things you think are important for me to know ahead of time. Also let me know if I need to avoid taking them to places where there might be lots of other dogs.
