I’m a full time self-employed artist. I have a lot of free time, and especially love picking up last minute walks in the morning or evening. I know how tricky pet care can be when you’re a busy parent or professional and I’d love to take one extra to-do off your plate on a chaotic day.

About Josie W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When boarding, I like to spend as much time with your pup as possible. A tired dog is a happy dog (especially in a new environment) so lots of long walks and opportunities to sniff, play and explore are a must. I also like to keep your pup’s schedule as close to what it is at home as I can - including feeding time, bed time, and morning routine.

Information Josie W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your pup’s funny quirks or favorite activities. I also like to know their potty schedule, any anxiety triggers, and notable outdoor/walking behaviors (if any) so we can have the best time together.
A typical day
I love long walks along the reservoir and doing zoomies together in the open grass. There’s a lot of other dog traffic through there making it a fun place for pups to sniff. On a cool day we’ll get to hang out in front of a coffee shop by my friend’s flower truck and get lots of love and attention from everyone who comes by! For anxious dogs a fun day will be built around their comfort levels and safe places. Walking during quiet hours, avoiding overly crowded spots, and having plenty of time to unwind after an outing.

Pet care experience
Hi all! My name is Josie and I’ve been professionally dog walking and pet sitting for the past 5 years. Spending time with dogs has been a consistent thread of happiness in my life; whether I was full time dog walking on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, part time walking in my Brooklyn neighborhood, fostering rescues, or doing longer term boardings, I’ve found so much joy in having the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful and unique pups. I also take a lot of pride in knowing owners can enjoy their time away while their pets are in my care, whether you’re just at work or away on vacation. It can be really hard to relax when you’re separated from the thing you love most in the world. I love sending daily updates & photographs so you can always know what your bestie’s been up to (and I’ve been told I take the best pics💁🏻♀️) I have experience with: senior dogs, medicine administration, human-friendly reactive dogs, large breeds & 5-week-old puppies. I’m not currently booking long term recurring walks (Ex. Every MWT for the next 6 months) due to upcoming travel, but am always open to short term help and happy to be a pinch hitter if your regular walker is unavailable. Reach out and let’s set up a meet and greet! Can’t wait to meet the pups of LA! :)
Reviews
Josie took great care of Willa! She was very responsive and sent us lots of updates :)
Amazing dog sitter! Thank you for taking such good care of Phil.
Josie is amazing! Kind, thoughtful and an animal lover. Phil had the best week in her home and he keeps dragging me to her house. Very grateful and can’t recommend Josie more highly! Look forward to next time already.
Josie is amazing! My pup had a great time with her while I was away on vacation. I think he had a better time than I did! Josie is very responsive and sends daily updates with the best photos. I will definitely rebook with Josie again.
