About
Hello! I am just a girl who loves animals. Although I do not currently own a pet, I find great joy in taking care of others' pets as if they were my own. I believe pets are as dear to us as our children, and that finding the right person to care for your pet can be really challenging. I hope that by trusting me with your pets, you know your animal is in good care, allowing you to rest easy during your vacation, family reunion, or whatever plans you have. If you are entrusting me with your house, know that I always leave a home in the same or better condition than when I arrived (clean sheets and towels, dishes cleaned and put up, counters wiped, and floors swept). It is my honor to be trusted with your pets and your home.
For pet sitting:
I have a full time job (I work at a school for children with learning differences). So, during the week I am unable to walk or let a dog out for an 8 hour period of time (plus drive time from my work).
I do have breaks for fall, winter, and spring, and have the month of July off, leaving me more available for animals that need more frequent care.
**** I am unavailable from Dec 20th to Jan 3rd ****
I don’t have a firm/set price point. Some things I take into consideration are going to be:
- how many pets need care
- does the animals have any complex health conditions requiring medication, and is the medication and care easy to administer
- does the animal have a high level of energy and require more support vs mostly independent
For most situations, I charge:
$60 per day/night for a dog +$25 extra per additional dog
$40 per day/night for cats +$10 per additional cat
For pets that just need someone to check on them, I charge less obviously, just let me know and we can discuss options.
Prices may vary during Holidays, due to my availability for a higher level of care and attention, and higher demand of services.

Josie is a considerate, “above and beyond” pet sitter. She cared for my pets and went out of her way to leave my apartment clean. She is the type of sitter who cares about your pet and how they’re doing even when she’s not providing them services!

Josie was amazing! I have a German Shepherd with medical issues and she was able to follow the necessary directions for his care. I have another Shepherd that is very demanding and she kept her well entertained.. I have a long haired ferrel cat that needs brushing everyday but won't let anyone but me near him... she soon had him cuddling up next to her! Josie's prices were very reasonable and I highly recommend her!! 🐾
