Pet care experience

Veterinarian Providing Loving Care

Finding someone you trust with your dog is about more than finding a pet sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them as if they were their own. What makes me different is the combination of professional veterinary knowledge and genuine, loving home care. As a veterinarian with over 20 years of experience, I recognize subtle changes in a dog’s health and behavior, confidently administer medications, and provide specialized care for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs. Because pet sitting is my full-time profession, your dog receives plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection throughout the day. Every guest follows a routine tailored to their personality, energy level, and individual needs, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I believe great pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. It means creating a clean, secure, low-stress environment where dogs can relax, socialize appropriately, and enjoy their stay while giving owners complete peace of mind. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can see just how much fun your best friend is having.

My family and I thank Josi for watching our dog. After we had our meet and greet we felt comfortable with boarding our dog for a few days. We loved how Josi communicated by sending photos, videos and messages letting us know how Mochi was doing. We appreciate Josi a lot for making this process so smooth as first time dog owners. Thank you Josi.

My dog received the best care and she sends videos and pics. I felt ok with leaving my dog. My dog was happy as well. We definitely will be using her again. She has it set up like a dog resort.

Josi was a life saver for us. We scheduled Kosmo at another home to discover 20-30 dogs stacked up on top of eachother in crates. We could not leave our pup there so we reached out to Josi last minute & she welcomed Kosmo. Her home is beautifully set up for caring for small dogs. They are allowed to roam freely in her spacious yard. She is very attentive to the pups & their individual needs. She sends multiple updates per day with pictures & videos. I could tell Kosmo was happy & having a great time. We will definitely be using her services again.

Josi, was so gracious to accommodate my crazy request to board my baby for 3 days and then again for another two days because of our budget and my son’s work schedule. Buddy always enjoys time at the lake playing with new friends and exploring. He also got some good back and tummy scratches while visiting the lake. Thanks Josi for watching our baby.

All I can say is that she really loves dogs. After bringing Ashton home from Josi's I could immediately tell that he missed her. She gave him so much love and affection. I'm so happy to have found her.

We love Josie's and her family's whole setup for the dogs. Marlowe's ears perk up when we tell him that we're going to Josie's.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My spacious home and large, securely fenced backyard provide plenty of room for supervised play, relaxation, and individualized care. Every dog receives close supervision, a clean and comfortable environment, and a routine tailored to their personality and needs. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a true home-away-from-home experience while giving you complete peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog follows a personalized routine based on their age, personality, and energy level. Their day includes supervised play, outdoor potty breaks, enrichment activities, cuddle time, rest periods, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and plenty of one-on-one attention. If your dog has favorite toys, treats, or a bedtime routine, I’m happy to incorporate those to help them feel right at home.
