Pet care experience

I am Josie! And I love animals!

I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was five. I grew up on a farm and understand the anxiety that a pet owner has when going on vacation and finding someone to love their pet as they love them. Well, have no fear! I am here to save the day!

We received many photos and updates from Josie. My dogs were tired after she left confirming that had received lots of play. My senior dogs also did well under her care.

Josie was absolutely amazing! She stayed in our home for several days to take care of Simba and Blondi, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Josie was friendly, professional, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and in such caring hands. It was obvious that Simba and Blondi were receiving lots of love, attention, exercise, and affection. Josie took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, and she treated them with the same care and patience as if they were her own pets. When we came home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her. Josie also took wonderful care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we had left it. It was such a relief to come home knowing both our dogs and our house had been so well looked after. We especially appreciated her excellent communication, dependability, kindness, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and we always felt confident that Simba and Blondi were in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Josie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Josie!

I highly recommend Josie as a pet giver. I have personally observed Josie take care of pets, and she goes above and beyond. Not only does she give them the care they need, but she gives them extra love and attention. She is a joyful, caring, trustable person that will always make sure to meet every need and expectation. I can’t recommend her enough!

Josie has cared for our pets (2 cats and a very large dog) many times in our home, and they love and trust her. We also love and trust her! She has a tender, caring heart and a natural affinity for animals. She is also very conscientious about following instructions, and alerts us quickly about health concerns. You really just couldn’t find anyone better than Josie to care for your animals. A+++

Safety, trust & environment

I will travel to your home to ensure that your pet is in a familiar space. I will give them daily snuggles, walks and attention. I will treat your pet as if they were my own loving on them and treating them. I am happy to take them on daily walks, to the park and to stay the night at your place.

A typical day

I will always give your dog at least one walk. If your dog isn’t much of a walker, I will play, snuggle and love on them giving them other ways to stimulate their minds. I will play with your cat and give them daily pets and snuggles.
