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.

Information Josie D. would like to know about your pet

Please fill out your dog’s profile in the Rover app. This helps me quickly assess if your dog is a good fit for you, me, my home and any other boarders. Bring at drop off : - Info for emergency contacts + vet info - proof of up-to-date vaccination - confirmation of pest preventatives - food + measuring cup + treats - leash and collar with their tags on it - bring a T-shirt or blanket that smells a lot like you - your pup will snuggle with it when they miss you * I am unable to care for pets who * - display aggressive or hostile behavior towards humans or animals. - are vocal (barking a lot doesn’t work in an apt) - unable to be left alone without barking or destructive behavior - can climb counters or open doors (true story) - have accidents on furniture or bed - chewing in furniture or other items in the home

A typical day

Frequent walks, play time and affection are in your pups future! 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.

Josie is amazing with Louie. She is reliable and professional, and the property is perfect for an extended dog stay.
