Hi, I’m Josie.
I help lower the cost of rescuing with $15 walks for new rescues.
6 years of professional pet care
My love for animals has steered me to both pet care and fostering at different times in my life. I couldn’t be happier to blend the two together.
Rescue & foster dogs are amazing; they’re also extra work: learning their likes and dislikes, easing them into a new place, working with them on house- and leash-training, addressing behavioral issues, and, in the case of fosters, getting them adopted!
Sometimes you just need an extra set of hands. My services offer exactly that: midday walks while you’re at work, evening walks when LA traffic keeps you late, park outings to meet prospective adopters, and anything in between. As a self-employed artist, my schedule is wide open and extremely flexible. I’m ready to be your go-to when the rescue life gets inevitably chaotic.
My experience includes senior dogs, medicine administration, human-friendly reactive dogs, large breeds & puppies as young as 5 weeks.
