Veterinarian, special care and stay

Pet care experience

I have worked for more than 18 years as a veterinary professional in Brazil, my home country. Including more than 11 years of study and over 20 years of experience with various species and behaviors. This is more than a simple indication of who I am as a person who really loves animals and who is prepared to understand how to take care of your pet(s). Picture this: if you have a child and you are going out of town...imagine leaving your child in the pediatrician's house!!!! In absolute good hands. One of the add on services is that I have set up a baby bassinet by my bed to accommodate thoes pets who are accustomed to sleeping in bed. I have knowledge of pets and shelters, especially with dogs. I understand your pet's necessities, even when they have special needs (like medications 💊 , chronic diseases or taking care of lesions or post-surgical care). Our pet is treated as part of our family and yours will be treated in the same manner. I am married with 2 kids and a dog. We are not just pretty lovers, but we also love people. In our home your pet is welcome along with you and your family. Also, I offer house sitting at your home. Consider this option in case you have multiple animals and/or special needs. Sometimes this might be more comfortable and adequate for you and them. In life there are many moments, in a pets and their parents, when different arrangements and adjustments must be made. Please keep in mind that this is not a 24 h care. The most common service that I am able to provide is an overnigh care from 9 pm-6am, but like I mention, it can vary with your needs and my availability. Although I'm not providing clinical services, I'm able to recognize many symptoms and behaviors and either take action in an emergency or guide you in the right direction.

Thank you very much! With every update that you send us made us feel like we made a good decision on trusting you with our baby.. She looked like she was happy and enjoying herself. We really do appreciate you for care that you gave with her every need and making this experience as painless as possible to be a wonderful one for her and us. We will be looking forward to her next sleepover..

I am so glad that I chose Josi to watch my boy Ori. She was able to keep up with his high energy and demanding cuddling session lol. This was my first time leaving him with someone other than family and he loved it there. She made sure to take videos and pictures of him every couple of hours to ensure me that he was alright. Not to mention her accommodations and proactiveness..We will definitely be back!😊

Information Josi S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much as you can about your dog behaviors and needs. Is it possible, make a list including: Dietary needs and feeding times/portions. Behavioral concerns. Disabilities (blindness, deafness, etc.). Known allergies. And anything that you think is important to let me know about your precious one.

A typical day

I will have playtime with your dog, since this moment is very important for his growth, socialization and development. Dogs in general love to play, fetch, and tug. But it will be very helpful if you tell me what your dog likes the most and if he/she has a favorite toy, please bring it. Bone or something to chew on is very helpful... most of dogs love it.
