Information Josie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs personality and behavior. If they need medication and how you administer it. I have a friendly large dog in my home. My dog is crated at bedtime and during meals.

A typical day

There’s a short trail near my home for walks, and I have plenty of toys and space for playtime. I keep dogs on leash when outside, and always supervised.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a lifelong dog owner and experienced dog sitter. I cared for my senior Shih Tzu until he passed at age 12, and I now have a 5-year-old French Shepherd named Sasha, who is sweet and playful. I have experience with both large and small breeds and am committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furbaby!

Josie has watched our boy countless times and he always has the best time with her! He’s usually anxious, but feels right at home with Josie!

My shy dog Leo loved staying with Josie for a few days while I was away. He seemed to warm up to her immediately and looked like he was having a blast with her when I came to pick him up! Josie was great with communication, sent me picture updates of Leo, and took him out for nice long walks on a beautiful trail. I would definitely book Josie in the future!

Josie was wonderful! She took good care of my Mochi. She also send me Mochi’s pictures to let me know he is doing well. Will definitely use her again!

Josie was wonderful with my dog Apollo! He can be anxious, but she made him feel comfortable and welcome. She was so kind and always responded immediately if I had any questions. I would definitely re-book with her again.
