About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover! From small dogs, to medium and large dogs — I’ve had all! I’ve also had cats and kittens my entire life! I am responsible, kind-hearted, and eager to meet new animals! I’ve worked with puppies and kittens all the way through senior dogs and cats who might need extra care or medication. I am currently a full-time college student in my last 2 semesters of college! I do a lot of my work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am eager to help care for your fur baby in any way they need! If they’re a puppy and need time to play, I totally understand! If they’re an older dog who needs more care or to be given medication, I have also worked with that! Whatever works best for you and your dog is what I’m here to do!
“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”

When in a clients home i will respect their wishes and routine for their fur babies. I will provide the utmost care to their pets and treat them like my own.

About: My daughter recently went off to college in another state and I need something to keep me sane. Spending some time with your little ones is just the ticket.

My husband is the best frisbee thrower in the world. I work from home, so frequent attention is not a problem. Excessive barking would need to be managed, but not a deal breaker.

I do like to prioritize exercise in the morning and at lunch so that I get good naps while I work. My office has a huge futon and dog bed that allow for me to be with them all day. My dog is perimeter trained in our yard, but we also have a 50 ft cable for those not able to be outside without wandering. We have easy furniture and our house has been lived in by many dogs and children.
