I am currently working part-time so my schedule is relatively flexible. I do travel a bit but I usually know weeks in advance whether I am doing so. Every day I take my dogs on a trail run & sometimes a walk in the evenings if we have time. We are almost always outside any chance we can get! I have plenty of experience in taking other's pets with me!

Information Josie K. would like to know about your pet

I personally like to know a dog’s temperament since I do have other pets in the home. I also enjoy knowing some of the things they like to do (walk, run, fetch, etc.) to keep them happy. Do they like certain types of treats or are they not allowed any?A re they a flight or health risk. I have 10+ years of veterinary experience with all sorts of different cases so I am very educated on a wide variety of topics, it just makes it easier and more comfortable for the pet if I am aware beforehand.

A typical day

Most mornings I take my dogs to Cooper's Rock for exercise. I do not use any dog parks and only allow dogs to interact if I know they’re acquainted. We also go on car rides to keep them occupied & happy.

Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you for considering me for caring for your fur baby! I have had my own personal animals for as long as I remember, and I have worked in the following settings: kennel, veterinary clinic, rescue/shelters, rehabilitation centers. I spend as many waking hours as I can with animals. I have over 10 years of experience with both dog walking & pet sitting. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. When I am not working my part-time job at a local coffeehouse, I enjoy taking my dogs to cooper’s rock for a walk, reading, and running. I’m very outdoorsy, but I do spend a good bit of my day at home with my fur babies.

She takes wonderful care of our dog, Livia, and is easy to communicate with. We’ve always had a great experience when boarding with Josie. Would recommend!

Josie is always awesome with all three of my dogs! They love her and her partner and they run to her and her home the second they see her. This time she had a flood in her basement since west virginia is having flash floods and she made sure my pets were happy and safe! She is such an amazing person and I always can trust her around my dogs. They truly love her and you can tell she is great with animals!
