Doctorate student w/ love for pets!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals (cats and dogs) since I was 9. I had a cat for 11 years and have lived with roommates's dogs for years in college - taking care of them when my roommates were away. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, and love for their pets for many years. I believe I have the ~magic touch~ to find the best spot for scratchies!

It was our first time using Josie’s services. We will definitely book her again for our next time out of town! She is very punctual, responsible, and friendly. She did drop-in visits to feed our cat and check on the house. She is very conscientious, and always easy to communicate with. We’re so happy to have found someone like her!

Josie sent lots of detailed updates throughout our trip, and made me feel confident that our cats were in good hands while we were abroad! Even the shy cat came around in the end! (Or at least decided she wasn’t dangerous.) Thank you!

We could not have been happier with Josie and the incredible care she gave our doggies! We've never had anyone other than close family take care of them and were super nervous, but Josie was there three times a day to feed and snuggle our babies. We will absolutely ask Josie to care for them again!

I’m so grateful I found Josie to watch my dog! She was fantastic. My plans feel through at the last minute and needed to find someone quick to watch my boy. I texted Josie through the app, she responded immediately, we set it up, and the next day I was able to leave confident my dog and my house would be safe. She arrived right in time, let me know when she got in, and made me comfortable knowing all was ok. I whole heartedly recommend Josie to anyone. Please contact her. Thank you Josie!

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that your pets are in familiar environments (i.e. on walks) to help calm them down and follow their routines to ensure consistency. I understand that it can be very stressful for an animal when their family is gone, so I will do my very best to help minimize the stress.
