Highlights
Pet care experience
All animals have my whole heart!💙
Growing up on a small farm in MA, I was always busy helping out my parents with our 2 dogs, 6 cats, 30+ chickens and 7 goats! I have years of animal caretaking experience with dogs and cats, and love connecting with and learning about their personalities! I am a very nurturing person as the oldest of five siblings, and I feel most like myself when I’m with animals and in nature.
Cat care experience
Josie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Josie was so wonderful and took such good care of both my kitty and dog! She sent daily pictures and videos and kept them on their schedule with lots of pets and love! Allowed me to really enjoy time with my family back Easr. Thank you, Josie!
Josie was so friendly. Georgie and Remmy gave her two paws up. They told me she's great and I should invite her back to hang out with them again. 12/10, would hang again. Thank you so much!
Josie was amazing from start to finish! She was extremely responsive throughout the planning process and even initiated a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit for everyone. We were so impressed by how eager she was to learn all about Echo and make her feel right at home. Throughout Echo’s stay, Josie sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which was incredibly reassuring since this was our first time leaving our pup with someone new in a long time. She was even flexible enough to extend Echo’s stay, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the rest of our vacation knowing Echo was happy and in great hands. We’re so grateful for the care Josie provided and would absolutely trust her with Echo again!
I recently moved here before having to leave immediately for a trip. Josie was kind, accommodating and patient when pet sitting during the acclimation period. I am very grateful and recommend her services to everyone!
Josie was wonderful walking both of my dogs. She spent time getting to know them before the first walk and was prompt and communicative over the multi-day booking. Lots of tail wags!
The pups loved josie and all went well She sent pics and updates and took care of everything Would definitely book her again

Schedule
My schedule is flexible although I tend to be working most weekdays (9am-3pm) and need notice for longer stays! Beyond that, and I have ample time to walk your dogs in my neighborhood, take them to the park, or come by and hang with your cats and pets at your houses!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a smaller apartment area where your pets can be cared for safely indoors that does not have an outdoor yard space but is very close by to parks and green spaces. At your home, I am comfortable utilizing crates or other toys and possible training tools to ensure wellbeing of your animals, and adhere to your owner pet care preferences.
A typical day
I cater my care and playtime to your animals needs and routines! I love finding places to enjoy being outside with your animals when I can, so dog walks to a park are my favorite. As well, playing indoors with cats can be as simple as using a string and sitting with them, and is so enjoyable for me:) please let me know if they like hiking or adventuring!
