Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive Enriching Care 🐾
Hi I’m Josie! :) Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes my heart happy. I have a flexible schedule & can provide a safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs and routine.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Josie is very sweet and it is obvious she loves animals. Remy told me she's his new girlfriend. Nova Jo is recovering from ACL surgery, so being a worried Mama I was reluctant about leaving her, but she loves her too! Highly recommend to all!
I liked Josie. She was a nice, calm, normal person. She has a nice house & fenced in yard with enough room for a big, young dog to play. She seemed trustworthy and I appreciated her caring for my boy this weekend.
Josie was awesome! We appreciated the updates and photos. Unfortunately, we think George has some vacation blues because he had so much fun with her! ☺️❤️
Thank you Josie for another great drop in visit. Pups were all happy when I got home. Hope you can cover again in October.
Josie was so wonderful with our pups! Very flexible and sent us pictures
Our girls were so happy staying with Josie! I loved getting daily updates and seeing how much they got to play outside and see their big smiles playing with Josie’s dog. Josie was very understanding and had great communication when we had to make some last minute changes to the beginning of their stay. We are so thankful for Josie!

Schedule
Because I’m home much full time, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Pups in my care get plenty of supervision, attention, outdoor time, affection, play, and enrichment. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring, relaxing in the sun, sniffing around, or just staying close by, I adjust their day to what makes them happiest, and I make sure to send updates while doing so! :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play while being closely supervised. Dogs in my care are provided with toys, puzzles/sniffing games, outdoor time, water play, walks, and one-on-one interaction. My dog Ivy is very friendly, laid back, calm, and enjoys being around other dogs. She loves having another dog around to play with, relax beside, or explore with, and gets along great and is very respectful with other furry friends. 😊 I love offering enrichment with treat-dispensing toys, frozen Kongs, and dog-friendly peanut butter! Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or treats they aren’t allowed to have so I can plan accordingly. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and sometimes your home—is a big deal. You can expect reliability, clear communication, love for your pet, and respect for your space while you’re away. If I host multiple dogs, it’s only when all owners are comfortable with it and the dogs are a good fit. Otherwise, your pups will receive my full attention and care. Whether you’re heading out of town, have a busy work schedule, need care during the day, or simply want peace of mind while you’re away, I’m here to care for your dog as if they were my own. Your pup’s safety and wellbeing are my #1 priority! Please feel free to message me if you’d like to set up a meet and greet, book a service, or if you have any questions about my care. 🐾
Pets
A typical day
A typical day is filled with outdoor play, enrichment, toys, sniffing games, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of supervised time together. I balance activity with downtime so dogs can play, relax, and feel at home during each visit.

- I’d love to know a little about your pup’s normal routine, personality, and what helps them feel most comfortable while you’re away. I’m home with the dogs in my care the majority of the day, with occasional short periods away for errands or other responsibilities. Sharing anything that helps your pup settle in and feel at home helps me give them the best care possible.
