Pet care experience

Lover of all creatures and walks

I am a psychology major with a passion for animals. In addition to my own dogs and cats, I have cared for others' pets while they were unavailable. I live by a multitude of walking trails and have no problem going out of my way to let a dog experience them! No matter how old, young, or high-maintenance, I will give your pets plenty of love and joy. I love animals of all sizes, breeds, and species! And I love learning new things about them every day. When your pet is under my care, they are my number one priority. I will always put your pet's health and well-being above anything else. I can guarantee that both you and your pets will have a good experience with me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with pets of all sizes and ages. I love playing with their favorite toys and giving them their favorite treats. The animals' health is always something I watch carefully and provide owners with updates when needed or as issues arise.

Josie did a great job checking in on our full house of 4 kitties while we were away for a weekend! They got comfortable with her quickly, and after each meal we got a full report on how everyone did. She also handled our asthmatic cat’s daily inhaler like a pro. We would definitely have her back again the next time we need a sitter!

Josie was a wonderful sitter for our two young adult cats. She gave them lots of attention and exercise and they were happy and healthy when we returned home!

Josie was great! She showed up on time, provided photos and reports on the boys, and made us feel very comfortable that our dogs were well cared for while we were away. Would definitely book Josie again.

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Josie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Any favorite treats, toys, and activities are always appreciated! Also if there are any behaviors I need to be aware of. Anything that scares them or anything they do not enjoy is also important to me to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
