Experienced and loving caregiver

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an animal lover of all types, shapes and sizes, and would love to meet your best friend! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and cows so I am very comfortable with all animals, and attuned to what they need so I can make them happy. I enjoy getting to know and taking care of all breeds and ages of dogs. I have had a dog of my own for a few years, who is a very gentle Aussie-doodle and loves people and is friendly with other dogs. He is a good companion for other dogs who don't want to be alone and always welcomes others in our home and have fun with. He is 5 years old and has lots of experience playing with other dogs, big to small and puppies to oldies. He comes with me everywhere and enjoys to adventure. At a client's home, I will care for the animals as instructed. I am happy to take care of them in any way that is asked and always respectful of the property.

Josie was wonderful. Sent pictures and updates on our dog which was very appreciated by us as this was our baby’s first time away from family. Would highly recommend her. Thank you Josie!

Josie was great with my dog! She was very prompt on her timing and followed exactly what my dog needed. Definitely would book again and recommend her to anyone!

Josie was awesome!. The dogs loved her visits/playtime and even though one of my dogs is shy they felt very comfortable with Josie. Josie went above expectations, she fed our horses and gave one of our dogs baths to sooth an itchy rash. We wont hesitate to use her again. Thanks, Josie

Theo had a great time with Josie. She was very communicative, and kept me updated on Theo throughout his stay. Will definitely use her again.
