Introduction: 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 treated our dog Zoe as if she was her own. Zoe tends to be nervous around new people and usually takes a few minutes to feel comfortable. When Josephine met Zoe, she immediately started playing with her and Zoe was completely comfortable with her right away. While we were away, she kept in touch with us and sent us updates along with photos. Zoe came back clean, happy and tired! I would recommend Josephine to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She is wonderful.

I’m so happy I left my puppy in the care of Josephine’s dog walking and pet sitting. She had her for three days while we had our family vacation and she did an amazing job. Our pup was so comfortable made herself right at home and she even shared pictures with us everyday. If I ever need a sitter again I will not call anyone else this is my one and only go to for perfect puppy care!!

We always know that our two pups are going to have a great day when Josephine comes to visit. She has helped us in a pinch and genuinely LOVES dogs, so we know that they are being treated with the same care that we would be giving them.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

Josie provided a lovely family home for my American Bulldog, Henrietta, while I went on a three week road trip. Josie even sequestered her cat for those three weeks because Henrietta eats them. Hennie got to live her best life as a family dog living with tennis players. She came back lean and happy for half the price of Green Beagle.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Taking pet outside • Providing exercise • Dispensing medication • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Three times a day • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
