Pet care experience

Active animal lover!!

I love dogs and cats and all pets!! I grew up with a big dog and two cats so I have experience taking care of both. I have also dogsat medium and smaller dogs, as well as catsat before. I am comfortable with handling reactive and anxious pets, and always let all pets come to me first so they feel as comfortable as possible. I will also maintain constant communication with owners through pictures, videos, and text updates!

Safety, trust & environment

With reactive pets, I gain their trust by giving them the space they need and letting them come to me. I also come prepared with treats! On walks, it is important to me to know pets triggers and how they prefer to be handled beforehand so that I can keep them safe and happy. I have also taken care of special needs dogs and tripods and understand that needs for certain dogs vary greatly.

Josephine was great with my 100 pound dog for a week! She sent pictures frequently and he seemed very happy during the trip! He also didn’t have his arthritis flare up so he was getting plenty of movement / exercise. 100% would have Josephine keep him again!

Thoughtful, communicative, relaxed, and trustworthy. This was my first time booking a cat sitter for my 11 year old cat; Josephine did an excellent job and put me at ease! Would book again.

Let me know if your pet has anything that spooks them, makes them anxious, or causes reactivity! Also, let me know their favorite treats and their level of shyness, as well as their energy level.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
