Close to Astoria Park & river!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Josephine and cannot wait to watch your pup! A little about me, I’m 31 and a graphic designer for a textile company. Some hobbies of my mine include seeing my friends & family, reading and running on the river. Dog Experience: I have been doing Rover for about 5 years and I absolutely love it! I have watched a variety of dogs and have taken care every one of them as though they were my own. Growing up my family trained service dogs so I can’t remember a time when dogs haven’t been in my life. Even though they were always sent to do their jobs each one of those dogs were apart of my family even if only for short periods of time. When moving into my apartment I missed having a dog around all the time which is why I decided to join Rover. I vow to welcome your dog into my life as if he/she was apart of the family. Location: I live in Astoria in a new elevator building. I’m less than a mile from Astoria Park and two other parks. I promise to take your pup on long walks on the river. Availability: Extremely Flexible: please request. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I’m currently working full time in the city but I promise to do long walks before and after work if I have your dog during week days. I also will do any additional walks that the dog may need. On weekends I will do as many walks as the dog may want! I’m extremely flexible so whatever makes your dog comfortable I will do my best! I will take your dog on long walks in the park. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed! I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I’m pretty flexible so whatever your dog may need I can try my best to accommodate!

Josephine is very normal and nice and sent so many great updates about dog and their various adventures. She went above and beyond for her duties of merely keeping him alive, she brought him to the park, out with her friends, and made

I am very thankful for Josephine, her professionalism, and her genuine love of animals. My french bulldog, Phoebe, has stayed with her and her roommate before, and they have taken great care of her. Josephine sent me pictures daily, and made sure I was informed of anything going on!

Josephine was so great with our pup who is prone to some anxiety due to her breed. She was caring and attentive to all of our pup’s needs. Thanks again!!

Information Josephine W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Some questions I like to ask prior are: 1. Does he/she have separation anxiety? 2. Does he/she bark frequently (we have close neighbors who get worried if a dog barks too much)? 3. I work full time is that an issue? 4. We have a floor plant. Do you have any abs would he/she have an issue with one?

A typical day

I love to make the dogs as happy as possible so if they love long walks that is what we’ll do! If the dog likes to play fetch and run around I’ll make sure he/she gets all the activity they may need. If they love to cuddle, I promise all the cuddles and love!
