Highlights
Pet care experience
Pre-Vet, Trusted Pet Care
As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Josie was absolutely amazing. We were concerned because my dog hasn’t been looked after by anyone else in over 5 years so I wasn’t sure how things would go but she sent us updates constantly and lots of cute pics throughout the day. Truly such a sigh of relief having her take care of Zeus for us. Can’t say thank you enough 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Entrusting someone with your dog demands complete confidence in their competence and character. Josie delivered on both, without exception. From the first meeting, she read our dog's temperament with near-intuitive precision...calming his anxiety and honoring his routine in a way that felt entirely natural. That kind of attentiveness cannot be taught. Communication was outstanding throughout: regular photo and video updates, genuine behavioral observations, and prompt replies to every message. We never once felt the need to worry. Most importantly, Tito was not simply looked after - he was genuinely loved. We came home calm, happy, and in excited for his next adventure with Josie. Deepest gratitude for the peace of mind & care.
Josie was really good with my dog, Millo. She was nice, professional, and kept me updated. I could tell she really cared about him, and Millo seemed happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely ask her to watch him again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.
Josie is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She genuinely loves animals and is always patient, attentive, and dependable. I'd trust her with my own pets without a second thought because I know she'd treat them like they're her own. Anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker would be in great hands with her.
Josie has a true passion for animals and caring for them. She is a very reliable and responsible person with good morals I would recommend her to anyone looking to retain her services. Eric

Schedule
I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking.

- Before our visit, I’d love to know about your pet’s routine, personality, favorite activities, medical needs, medications, dietary restrictions, and any fears or behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know, the better I can provide safe, personalized care and help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
