Highlights
Pet care experience
Home is where the dog is 🐕
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents raised and trained wirehaired pointing dogs, which gave me an early introduction to dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care. Today, our home is shared with five dogs and two cats, giving me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Our pets range from young adults to seniors, including a senior Chihuahua, a spirited Chiweenie, a 120-pound Boxer/Mastiff mix who still thinks he’s a lap dog, and two rescued littermates with unique backgrounds and endless affection. Because of this, I am comfortable caring for pets at many different life stages—from energetic younger animals to senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I have experience with medication administration, basic grooming, nail trimming, bathing, litter box maintenance, and recognizing when something may be off with a pet’s health or behavior. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether they want to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax in their favorite spot, I strive to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care that helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾

Ratings and reviews
Between my animals and my fosters my house is always very busy and loud. I know that it can be overwhelming for some but when Josie came for a visit she wasn’t phased one bit. I needed hour check ins for two weeks and then again weekly and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Josie updated me every visit with even the smallest details. She recently brought all my sweet babies a gift of a fuzzy blanket for Christmas. You’d be picking someone who can love your babies the way you do and care for them the same with Josie
I recently had to go out of town for a few weeks which turned into a month, Josie was so incredibly kind and accommodating. I couldn’t have been more grateful to her caring for my 3 kittens. I received wonderful photos and updates about my girls. Josie even went above and beyond to bring in my mail and water my plants. I will always book with Josie after seeing how wonderful she did with everything.
Josie managed to win the hearts of my 5 dogs ranging between 10 months old to 16 years old. My oldest is usually very mouthy and can be aggressive (he has no teeth and is bound) and he walked up to Josie to be held. I knew then she was the perfect person to watch over my babies. I was hesitant having anyone care for my babies but I’m new to the area and really needed help. I am so grateful.
