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 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:)

Pet care experience

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.

Josie is fantastic! She gave my Rori so much wonderful hospitality in her home & gave her so much love, care, & affection. Excellent communication! And she really took her time with us getting to know her, & was so accommodating, understanding, & flexible with my crazy schedule. We can't wait to book her again! Thank you Josie!

Josie was a very communicator and was wonderful with Arnie. She took him for a long hike and made sure he got out for pee breaks, and we got a lot a pictures during his stay - we will be booking again!

Josie was able to take Winry SUPER last minute when I found out she had worms and couldn’t go to her original boarding. But Josie was fast to communicate and make sure Winry would be taken care of! Winry wasn’t easy to take care of being away from home for the first night, understandably, so Josie was confident enough to let me know that the situation needed to be adjusted. It worked out great and even if this boarding didn’t go the whole time, Winry had a great time with her!
