Calm and Gentle Pet Carer
Pet care experience
My passion and journey with animals began with my first dog Rolo ❤️ a working Rottweiler , I have always gravitated towards animals and have cared for cats and dogs for the majority of my life, I pride myself on giving the highest care in looking after and helping others with their pets. I enjoy being active and training pets too. I train obedience as a hobby and love taking dog walks on the beach . I grew up with a tabby cat and 2 large working breeds, a Rottweiler and Akita. I currently have a senior dog that loves the occasional company of other dogs and sleeping majority of the time. I have experience with reactive dogs , bully breeds and small dogs , and this allows me to cater to each dogs needs as they differ , when I adopted my Rottweiler , Rolo, back in 2011, I did a lot of intensive training & socialisation with him. I’m especially proud of helping him over come this and developing his obedience. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I plan to care for animals full time. I have experience with boisterous,nervous , elderly dogs etc and I understand that they might require a more patient approach . I’m a calm, caring compassionate animal lover, that dogs and cats tend to be drawn to vice versa . Please feel free to contact me to discuss any specific requests and set up a meet and greet . I look forward to meeting you and your pets Josie 🐾
Reviews
Josephine R. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Josie was great, sent us daily photos and videos which showed how happy our dog was in her care. Such a relief as our dog is of an anxious nature.
Blue loves Josie and it’s clear she loves dogs and looking after them.
Josephine is so caring. She has been walking Millie for a few weeks now. She always checks up on her and takes lots of pictures on the walks. Would highly recommend ☺️🐶

Information Josephine R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there is any behavioural or medical issues that I should be aware of when caring for your pet (E.g. reactivity, aggression, medical issues, fear, nervousness to dogs/people, allergies, toilet trained, recall). I have experience with reactivity, nervousness and working dogs. I am happy to taken on dogs with these tendencies but I would just like to know prior. Please also let me know if you or pet has a specific ritual, whether they are trained, any command words that you use. Treats should be provided by yourself as some dogs, can be sensitive to certain food and I would like to limit any potential issues. You are also welcome to bring their favourite toys.
A typical day
I believed a tired, well stimulated dog is a happy dog, and with that I believe enrichment is key. I like to do this by doing some treat-based training and play (e.g. playing fetch). Another important aspect I believe is allowing dogs to use their nose, so I like to do a lot of scent walks. This basically means allowing a dog to do a lot of sniffing whilst on a walk. As mentioned in previous statements, I am active person who enjoys the outdoors, so I love to go on all kinds of walks, from park, trails to hikes. Updates will always be provided so that you can see how much fun your pets are having.
