Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Pet Caretaker
With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other pets, I provide reliable, high-quality care tailored to each animal’s needs. I have experience with diabetic dogs, including administering insulin, and always prioritize pets’ health, comfort, and well-being. Whether house sitting or offering drop-in visits, I keep pets active, engaged, and well cared for. I include a daily 45-minute walk for house sitting and boarding, adjusting to each dog’s age, energy level, and preferences. I also maintain a clean, safe, and secure home while you’re away. You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care and that your home will be respected and protected.

Josie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Best dog sitter ever!!!!!!!!!!
Josie was great! Very accommodating and you can tell she loves dogs!
Josie was absolutely amazing! She sent us pictures and gave us an update on the pups during her check in while we were out to the house for the day! We will definitely be using her again!
Josie did an excellent job looking after our two dogs! I will be rebooking with her in the future no doubt. I highly recommend her!!
Josie did such a great job caring for our pups. She provided detailed information and picture of each visit and took all the stress out of leaving our girls for the weekend! We will look forward to booking with her again!
Josie took wonderful care of my girls! Her communication and attention to detail is terrific.

Schedule
My schedule is typically pretty flexible! I’m looking to expand my pet care services to regular clients nearby and bring more joy to your pets. I hold an AS in Early Childhood Education, an AA in Liberal Arts, and am working toward my bachelor’s degree in Human Services. Balancing school with my love for animals allows me to offer flexibility while ensuring your pets get the care and attention they deserve and need!

- I’m excited to meet your beloved pet! To ensure I provide the best care, prior to booking, please read through my policies and let me know if your pet has any special requirements or if there's any important information that I should be aware of ahead of time. Thank you so much! 😊🐾🐶 Before booking, I ask all clients to provide a basic daily schedule outlining their pet's routine. This includes important details such as: • When and how long pet(s) need to be let outside for • Feeding times and portion sizes • Medication schedules, including where and how it should be administered (if applicable) • Location of food, bowls, leashes, harnesses, treats, vitamins, medications and other essentials. Safety Policies By booking with me, you acknowledge and accept the following policies: Health Requirements: All pets must be up to date on vaccinations (such as rabies) and preventative treatments (such as flea and tick medication). I am unable to care for pets with contagious illnesses (or any pets with fleas or mites), as the health and safety of all animals in my care is my top priority. Safety Precautions: To ensure a safe and positive experience for your pup, myself, and others, I’m unable to care for pets who exhibit or have a history of the following behaviors: • Reactivity, aggression, or defensiveness • Nipping, biting, or scratching • Discomfort with new people • Not being fully housebroken (unless under 6 months) • Barking throughout the night (for housesitting services) • Excessive reactiveness or pulling on walks • Destructive behavior Important Note: If a pet displays any of the behaviors listed in my policies, I reserve the right to immediately cancel the service without a client refund. This ensures the safety and well-being of all pets and everyone involved. 🐾 For pups who love to munch on everything they find outside, I ask that they wear a basket muzzle during walks and outside time. This helps keep them safe and prevents them from eating anything that could harm them while in my care. I’ll always do my best to arrive right at the scheduled time, but please allow about a 30-minute window before or after, just in case of traffic or other drop-ins. I am not responsible for any illnesses, property damage or unforeseen incidents that may occur during my visits. That said, I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, with the utmost care, respect, and attention to detail. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are my priorities, and I strive to provide a safe, positive experience every time. Accident Cleanup Policy: I understand that accidents happen! The first accident cleanup is free. For any additional accidents (puke, pee, poop, blood etc), there is a $8 clean up fee per incident (paid by booking a drop-in service through Rover). Pet owners are kindly asked to provide cleanup supplies. Thank you for helping me maintain a clean and safe environment for all pets! 🐾 Please note: These policies are subject to change at any time. Any updates will be communicated in advance and reflected in future bookings to ensure continued transparency and mutual understanding. Thank you for your understanding! Keeping everyone safe allows me to provide the best care possible! 😊🐾🐶🫶 Meet & Greets I’m happy to offer complimentary meet & greets for clients who decide to move forward with booking! 🐾 If a meet & greet is scheduled but: • Canceled, • You decide not to book, • I find your pup doesn’t meet my Rover policies during the meet & greet, or • No services are booked within two months of the meet & greet, a $20 drop-in service will need to be booked through Rover. To guarantee a complimentary meet and greet, bookings must be requested a minimum of 10 days prior to the booking start date. My goal is to ensure a tailored, worry-free experience for both you and your pet, so I very much appreciate any extra information that will help me meet your pet’s needs!
