Keep Saint and I company!
Pet care experience
Boarding dogs gives my service dog, Saint, and I the opportunity to enjoy my time with special pups. Saint is the best of dog and I provide a seasoned, experienced handler for your pup. I have short and long-term boarders who stay for anywhere from a day to 3 months.
Reviews
Josie and her companion dog saint are amazing dog sitters and dog photographers very caring and understanding of both dogs and their owners Kaylee and I thank Them and all their friends, human and canine from our hearts
Experienced, skilled dog person with a professional and pleasant personality. Looking forward to working with her again and all indications are my dog is as well.
Josie was great! I have 2 needy dogs and she handled them with grace and snuggles. She gave me a lovely summary of the overnight stay and even washed our dirty leashes. We'll hope to use her again the next time we are in town!
Josie and her companion dog Saint are the perfect hosts for any dog they are caring and careful send wonderful, frequent photographs and updates and genuinely enjoy being with their visitors. I cannot recommend them enough.
About Josie D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust & environment: I provide a safe, clean environment at my flat. I wash and disinfect all blankets, toys and hard surfaces between/during each pups stay. I keep first aid supplies on hand for immediate care: everything from hotspots, ear infections and abrasions. I require confirmation of vaccination and flea / tick preventative measures for each dog. I always discuss stay expectations and, when possible, walk through my flat with you, so you know with whom and where your BFF is staying.

A typical day
Frequent walks, play time and affection are in your pups future! Portland is a beautiful place to experience! Socializing and work on obedience training in a pack-integrated environment are a wonderful experience. Training: Every pup is different and requires flexibility to meet the needs of dog parents and pups. Expect your pup to fit Saint’s schedule and obedience expectations + any additional training as needed; when discussed.
