Make our house, your own!

Pet care experience

When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!

Jozy is our go-to sitter in Cincinnati! She always takes great care of our two dogs. They love going to her house to play with all of the other dogs. She always takes them regularly to the dog park, so they definitely get their energy out. She also sends daily updates and pictures during overnight stays. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Our dog Martin always enjoys himself when he is at Josephine's home. Josephine is very caring and has taken great care of Martin. She takes him to the dog park, which he loves and long walks. When he comes home after visiting Josephine’s house he is so wore out from all the fun that he had, that he has to rest. Josephine is informative, send pictures, and is so easy to communicate with. Josephine will be my first choice for a dog sitter going forward.

I adopted a puppy that had high energy and didn’t know what to do. I first met Josephine while at Mt Airy Dog park and she gave me a sources define further information on the dog breed I have and it has worked miracles. Clay used to chew furniture like it was his job and now he is the most pleasant German Shepherd I have ever come to meet.

A typical day

A typical day at my house involves waking up in the morning and stretching our legs. Dogs are taking outside to use the restroom and then given their breakfast in their individual crates. Left to digest for at least two hours and then some midday/early afternoon activities. This is followed by going to the dog park anywhere between 3 PM and 7 PM for at least an hour. After the dog park, dinner is given and a bit of rest. Taking out at least one more time prior to going to bed for the night.
