About
Dogs and cats have been my passion since childhood. I do treat them as if they are my own pets. I offer daily dog walks, overnight dog sitting/boarding (walking, feeding, playing, and exercising) and long walks if preferred. I do in house visits, boarding, dog daycare, overnight stays, pet bath and pet taxi as well. Live in a great neighborhood wonderful for dogs with 3 bark parks, 1 fenced. They would have their own vacation/ fun time in a very loving, caring and upbeat environment. I have a masters degree in interpersonal communications. Truly a dog lover, my grandparents had been vets and I know a lot about many dog breeds. I am INSURED as well. LONG STAYS ARE GLADLY WELCOME.

Josephine kept our beagle mix Sage over the holidays, and we were so happy to have found her. She was super friendly, and we could tell she had a love for dogs. She gave us updates with photos and even gave pickup and drop off service. Sage seemed happy and well cared for. In fact, we have booked Josephine again this summer. Highly recommended!

I have been searching for 6 years to find a reliable, responsible and trustworthy person to watch my spoiled little fur baby, Brodie. Josephine was a diamond in the rough! I’m so blessed that I finally found a loving, caring and experienced person that truly cares about my dog as much as I do! I can’t say enough her and would highly recommend

Josephine took my babies over the weekend on short notice. She was so friendly and sweet. She picked them up and dropped them off. The whole time she kept me informed and sent many pics to show how well they were doing. I am very happy with her services and will definitely use her again. My dogs are pooped because they had such a good time!
