Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets in a clients home requires time and attention to the animal. Making sure that the clients home is respected and the pet feels comfortable is my priority.

Information Josephine W. would like to know about your pet

Important information that I would like to be aware of is if the dog has any places they are sensitive to being pet, or if they value personal space. Also what snacks and treats would be appropriate for the dog to keep them playful and entertained.

A typical day

I like to wake up slow in the morning and spend some quality time with the dogs with breakfast, maybe a walk, or playing with some toys. I live in a great neighborhood for walks, and a short distance from laguna dog park as well. In the afternoon, I’d like to hang around the house with the dogs or maybe go on a hike or another walk. Something productive.

Pet care experience

hi everyone! my name is josie and i’ve had a great experience with rover over the last couple years :) all the ups/downs has really made me a well rounded pet sitter, and made for a great adventure! i definitely don’t mind taking your pets on a hike for some exercise or relaxing at home with them in their comfort zone. don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if it’s a good fit. i do my very best to accommodate all my clients to matter the time frame, animal, medications or budget. thanks for stopping by ☀️

Josephine has taken care of our dog multiple times. However this last time, she failed to follow instructions for multiple aspects of our dogs care and did not communicate well with us. We were super disappointed because we felt like our dog did not get the care that he needed as we were away on a trip.

Josephine was great! Clearly very comfortable around dogs and cats. I would happily have her look after Roxy again!

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.
