Hi! My name is Jozy, most of my days are spent working from home with my sidekick, a mid-mannered animal loving 8 year old German Shepherd. I’d be thrilled to care for your family companion members while you’re away or just need a break. I offer boarding, house-sitting, drop ins and pick/drop off services so all you’ll have to concern yourself with is if you packed all the right bags! I have experience with pets of various species/ages and can assure you I’ll care your two, four or eight legged companion(s) like my own. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for reading! Cheers.

An enthusiastic 5 stars! Jozafin was a wonderful dog/house sitter, and I am so relieved I was able to find her last minute after another dog sitter cancelled. The thing that speaks most to how wonderful Jozafin was with my dog is the fact that he has never been so calm upon my returning home from a long trip. My dog has separation anxiety and can get quite upset about departures and arrivals. He was excited to see me, but he adjusted quickly and did not act out in some of the typical ways (accidents, chewing things, etc.). While away for a few weeks, I received periodic pictures and updates, and when I needed her to watch for a package or ask her a question, communication was easy and considerate. I came home to a clean house, a happy dog, and a thoughtful note about how the stay had gone and what she had done. Without a doubt, I will be using Jozafin again!

I worry about my dogs when I go out of town but my two dogs had a great time with Jozy. She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. She left my place in better condition than how I left it. If I go anywhere again I'll be booking her.

Jozy is an amazingly caring dog-sitter! She watched my Boston Terrier, Toby for me numerous times over a 4 year span before he passed away. She’s responsible and always up for a good adventure. If Toby ever needed to get some energy out she would take him on hikes or even just an exciting car ride, which he loved. He was always so happy to have her around. She’ll also take cute pics of your pups for your enjoyment and peace of mind!

Jozy is great with dogs, she’s walked my pit bull/spaniel mix at least a few dozen times, Never had any issues, she treats him as if he were her own. My dogs a year and a half old, 65 pounds and full of energy but she keeps him under under control just fine, he seems to really enjoy walks with her.

Jozafin is AMAZING WITH ANY PET! She has taken care of our fur baby RUGER since he has been 8 weeks old! He loves her and she loves him! She takes great care of him like he was her own. She has also sent me beautiful pictures she captures and keeps me updated daily even if everything is ok. I love her compassion & love for pets and I’m very over protective of RUGER and I am at ease when he’s with Josie. I had to laugh, she took him to park n hiking n she wore him out he slept for 2 days straight but he loves the exercise now LOL! Thank you Josie for your time with RUGER n you’ll always be his only & favorite fursitter!

Being in the military means I travel, a lot. Which can make it really difficult to figure out exactly what I am going to do with my dog. I am extremely protective over her and do NOT trust just anybody to keep her while I am away. Jozafin has been watching her everytime I go away for the past year and there is absolutely nobody I trust with her more. Jozy goes above and beyond to make sure my fur baby is safe and happy. Not to mention nugget fell in love with her from the very beginning. If you are looking for someone who will love and care for your fur baby as if it is their own dog, hire jozafin!!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I carefully follow each pet’s routine including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed and any special instructions.

My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure and happy while giving owners peace of mind that their companion is in caring hands, wether that be in house or out.

Pets

A typical day

I’m very active and enjoying being outdoors. Your furry friend will come along with me on my daily walks & jogs (dependent on the age). For this purpose I have toys a-plenty! So plenty of fetch and play time. For older pups, I’ll arrange a schedule that’s easier for them. I also add “training” time, at no cost as well. It’s a fun interactive session to keep your companion entertained and happy while you’re away. So if your pup is in the process of any training, please let me know and we’ll focus on that together during this time. As for other companions like cats, rabbits, birds and lizards rest assured they will be given equal amounts of attention according to the owners presences of interaction time.
