Dog lover in the Wisconsin area

Pet care experience

I grew up with a Westie since I was 7 years old. I am a foster caretaker and trained to foster dogs by GRRoW (the golden retriever rescue organization of Wisconsin). I also have two roommates who grew up with dogs and are 3 years into veterinarian school at UW-Madison.

We couldn't be happier with care and attention Josie gave our fluffy friend over her lifetime. From their very first interaction, it was clear that Josie genuinely loves animals, especially dogs of all kinds, and will treat any pup she is responsible for like her own. Josie is reliable, pays attention to what is important for owners and will go above and beyond to take the time needed to give your pup the proper walk, playtime or adventure, often sending photo updates while we're away so we're not missing out! Our pup was immediately at ease from their 1st interaction and gave us peace of mind knowing she would receive the loving care we would provide. We truly trust Josie and would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible and professional dog companion.

Josie’s love for animals shows up in every aspect of her life. Not only is she a friend to all dogs she meets, but she is also incredibly professional in her work, and she is great at communicating. She has many years of experience as a dog owner, and caretaking. Josie is a great choice for a pet sitter if you’re looking for someone engaging, responsible and kind for your pets.

Josie is a passionate and dedicated animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. With over 13 years of personal experience caring for her own dog, she understands the importance of providing both affection and responsible care. Josie is highly active and loves spending time outdoors, making her a perfect companion for dogs who enjoy regular walks and exercise. She treats every dog as if they were her own—offering a safe, loving, and engaging environment. For any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of energy, Josie is an excellent choice.

Pet caretaking fits into my routine best every weekday for an after-work walk (5pm CST or later). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I have more free time those days of the week to watch an interact with your pet during the day.
