No worries while you're away!

Pet care experience

I have been a veterinary technician for 12 years, train working dogs, and grew up on a large farm. I have a lifetime of animal handling skills, amazing experiences and knowledge. I am now dedicating my time to making life easier, and less stressful for you and your pets! From small to large animals, including horses, cattle and other livestock. I have many great references as well. I have no problem administering medications, as directed by your veterinarian, and can provide pick up service for dogs in daycare, for a small travel fee. Please email or text, anytime! I'm also very accommodating for holiday care, as well as emergency and last minute care. Let's make life a little less stressful for you and your pets!

Josie was attentive to the needs of my anxious dog. She came and met her in advance to minimize unfamiliarity and stress. Highly recommend.

Josie is the only pet sitter I trust to take care of my fur children. She has watched them several times in the past 3 years when I was out of town. My dogs, a Pit mix and a Jack Russell mix, have gotten a little depressed in the past when we've gone on vacation. With Josie watching them I can rest assured while I'm away that they won't feel like we abandoned them because she treats them just like they are her own. The animals really love her and sometimes I wonder if they like seeing her come to care for them more than if I was there. I really love the fact she's a certified vet tech. It gives me confidence that if my animals got sick while I was gone that they'd get proper care. She has taken care of my dogs, horses and my kitten when it had a broken leg. Even when she had an emergency in her family, she still kept my animals a priority. Know that if you have Josie as your pet sitter, your animals will be well cared for.

Josie is a wonderful dog sitter! She shows that the pets are her true passion and has open ears to listen to all of your requests. She takes special note on specific care instructions. Her background in veterinary medicine gives her knowledge to safely care for our beloved pets while we are away and gives you peace of mind. She is easily reachable and very reliable. She has the ability to care for pets of all sizes (from small exotics to large farm), all needs, and all ages. I only trust my pets with the best and she has exceeded my standards above and beyond!!

Josie is the best pet sitter around. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Having a veterinary background I would trust anyone but Josie. She's very responsible with your pet and will gladly tend you your needs!
