Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Josie. I have been housesitting and petsitting for years and I have loved every minute of it. It makes my heart happy to connect with animals. While I am watching your fur baby, they will go on walks, play fetch, and receive lots of cuddles. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, chickens, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I also have experience working at a doggy daycare. I am willing to get the mail, water plants, and complete any other house chores that need to be done while you're away. I am open to staying in your home to housesit, or just dropping by for walks and feedings and cuddle time. I look forward to meeting you and your babies! 😊

As always, Josie is the best! Reliable, responsive, and so loving towards our cats. We are able to fully relax on our vacations knowing that she is looking after our fur babies. Thank you, Josie!

Charlie and Piper loved visiting with Josie. Charlie takes a while to warm up, but she fell in love once she was comfortable! Thanks again Josie.

I always put your pet’s safety first while they are in my care. I am happy to transport them to the vet or groomer as well.

Information Josie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby has any special needs or behavior challenges I should be aware of! I am open to working with all animals but it is nice to know ahead of time what to expect. Also let me know how frequently you’d like updates! Some pet parents love an extremely detailed outline of their fur babies day, and others prefer to enjoy their vacation without getting messages from me. Just let me know what you prefer!

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood, or to the beach or the dash point trails! Or just playing fetch around the house or in the backyard. If I’m housesitting for you, I love to have them sleep in the bed with me, especially if they are used to doing that with you. For kitties, I love to play with them, and give them loves (when they want them). The snuggly ones are my favorite!

I will make sure they are fed breakfast and dinner, as well as daily walks if you’d like. I do have a full time nanny job as well, so if your pup can’t be left alone all day then we may not be a good fit for house sitting. But for cat sitting, or drop-ins or dog walks, I will be available before and after my work hours. I’d love to talk more with you about your pets specific needs!
