Highlights
Pet care experience
I miss having animals in my life!
My name is Josie and I recently moved to SD from Washington, DC. While in college, I fostered 11 dogs and 4 cats and I volunteered at a shelter in DC. I don’t I currently have the bandwidth to foster dogs long term but would still love to be involved with dogs in some way. I figured pet sitting/walking is the perfect alternative! Prior to college my family had a great cockapoo named Leo who was with us for 16 long years <3 I’ve never not had a dog in my life wether it’s my own, a foster, or looking after a neighbors. I’m looking forward to meet your pet(s)!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve learned to love sharing my work space with a buddy! I often like to sit with them while I do work and bring them with me for an outside break.
Ratings and reviews
Josie was AMAZING, and we would recommend her to anyone. She was incredibly patient and gentle with our verrryyyy anxious pup, and she bonded with her quickly, which is no small feat. We felt completely comfortable the entire time Josie was watching our dog and our home. She maintained great communication and sent photos to keep us in the loop, which was greatly appreciated. Josie even accommodated a very last-minute change to help us out, and we're so grateful for her!!
Josie was so great with our floof queen. She gave frequent updates and sent lots of photos! We really appreciate that she could watch our girl so last minute and we will definitely work with Josie again!
Amazing! Banner loved Josie and was so happy when we came to pick him up!
Josie took great care of Paros for daycare. He was happy and comfortable with her. I’ll definitely bring him back!
Josie is the absolute best!! A true gem!!
Josie is so wonderful, kind, caring, dependable and reliable. She also takes great pics!! Your pet will love her!

Schedule
I currently work east coast hours Monday through Friday and can take breaks here and there so a walk and pet sitting fits well into my schedule. My schedule is 7-3 so can usually fit in a walk or check in during lunch if you’re close! Or even just WFH from your apartment if you need a longer visit. Nights and weekends are also fair game.

- It would be great to know how your dog acts around other dogs and other animals, or even certain types of people, some of my old fosters didn’t like men. Additionally if they have any medication or needs. Some of my foster dogs got triggered by certain motions or noises so let me know if your dog has any unique things that bother them. Or any unique things they love like a certain area to scratch or a favorite game.
