Compassionate Care for Every Pet
If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like their own, you’re in the right place. I’m the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, the person they trust when they want someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including fostering and helping care for rescue animals. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and take the time to help each pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of love and playtime, and create a calm, safe environment. I’ll also keep you connected with regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. When your pet is with me, I will prioritize: • Consistent routines (meals, walks, meds if needed) • Plenty of love, attention, and playtime • A calm, safe environment tailored to your pet’s needs • Regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured

Ratings and reviews
I am a veterinarian with many high-needs animals, and I am particular about who I hire to help with our pets. Josi has taken care of our (large) crew for years! She has cared for our 4 (previously 6!) dogs and 1 cat on many occasions. They are a big group with some behavioral issues/nuances, and I fully trust her to handle them safely. They also all have their own food foods, medications, and feeding instructions - and she pays close attention to detail in ensuring this is handled correctly. Josi has stopped in to check on them/give breaks on long days away and has held the fort down on weekends/weeks away. Our animals all love her and she adores them like they are her own pets. She always takes the time to give them affection, throw the ball for a dog, and sit with them. Our cat loves when she visits and immediately meows and demands attention and petting from her. She has been punctual, always showing up for our crew when expected and also has been available to help us with last minute requests many times. She is communicative, reliably responsive, and always friendly. I trust her completely with my pets and my home and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs.
Josi is incredible! I would highly recommend her to care for any pets. She has taken care of my dogs on multiple occasions and is: punctual, attentive to details, responsible, communicative and trustworthy. I appreciate the updates she gives and photos she sends and know that my dogs are in great hands with her. Josi genuinely cares for and goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. My dogs excitedly run to her every time she arrives.

Schedule
I can stop by for feedings, potty breaks, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. I’m happy to tailor my visits to your pet’s routine so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
