Pet care experience

I'll love your dog just like you do

Hi! My name is Josie and I am 26yrs old. I am the proud owner of a Shih Tzu named Shirley for 6 years now and I love spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds. I love staying active and often take my dog for long walks. I currently live in the Boise area and am open for house sitting and drop ins! I am energetic and reliable. You can count on me to show up and give 110% attention to all your animals and plants if needed so you don't ever have to worry about them!

Dog Walking • Jun 10, 2022

Josie S. is a wonderful dog walker that I would highly recommend! She was personable, reliable, and communicated regularly. And she was great with our cairn terrier. Now that we’re back from our vacation, he keeps looking out the window for her. Guess we’ll have to go somewhere soon again so he can get more fun walks from Josie!

Ozzy has been having so much fun on his walks with Josie! He will miss her after we’re back from vacation! I would highly recommend her.

Josie is great with my 9 yr old German Shepherd! Shadow can be a little ornery with smaller breed dogs, but Josie handles it well, and my dog seems happier and can't wait for her next walk. :)

Having known Josephine most of my life, I can honestly say how trusting and an amazing person she is. She is an incredibly responsible and awesome person. She is an amazing choice for someone to trust your fur baby with!

My sister Josie is the perfect person to tend to your doggie’s needs! She has a dog of her own that she adores, and she also watches mine when I’m away. She is a positive, energetic and reliable person, and once you meet her you will have no doubt she is the perfect person to care for your pet!
