Hello and nice to meet you
My name is Josie. A true lover of animals, travel and houses. All things combined I feel that Trustedhousesitters is the perfect combination for me -and you!
I will provide the upmost care and love to your pet (s) ensuring they are looked after as if they were my own.
I’m healthy, self sufficient, and reliable.
I will listen intently to your instructions with regard to your pets, home and garden.
Pets are family. They're in our hearts.
My goal is that you have a carefree time while away knowing your pets and property are in good hands.
I would want nothing less for myself or my beloved pets :)
Why I want to house sit
I believe when someone allows another in to their home to care for their beloved pets, this is an honour. I take my role seriously and will always strive to be the best pet/homesitter. Additionally, the opportunity to travel, meet new people in this vast world and experience new places is very special to me. My married daughter lives on the other side of this world from me, so I am no stranger to travel. I have a loving relationship with all my grown children and their connection with animals is strong as well.
I’m in my happy zone when I’m around animals.
I’m looking forward to meeting both lovely people and their pets!
My experience
I have been a pet owner of cats and dogs my entire life. As such, I have been through the crazy puppy and kitty years,where they need lots of play and attention, to the senior years where they slow down and need more tender care. I’ve been through the heartbreak of nursing and monitoring my terminally-ill animals until their deaths. I’ve loved everyone of those beautiful souls.
I have house sit and pet sit over the years for friends and family. Predominantly in the Ontario, Canada area, however in the past few years I have cared for cats in Australia for extended family. I feel confident in all areas of sitting and take pride in that. Your peace of mind is paramount to me.
I have worked for the Canadian government in law and security as a first responder for over 21 years. I am well trained in situations requiring immediate attention/action. Rest assured I will keep you informed every step of the way should any unforeseen circumstances arise.
In the last few years and since my children have grown, I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and the local kennel walking dogs, feeding and kitty clean up.
I have always had homes with lovely gardens. I really enjoy puttering in the garden, and caring for plants and flowers. Presently I am renting and tend to the gardens. I am also a homeowner and tend to my property there as well. I will ensure your property is well maintained.

Josie is the most reliable and caring pet and house sitter I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Josie is always my first choice when I need someone to watch over my plants and animals. She is always willing and excited for any challenge and adventure. I don't know what I would do without Josie as my house sitter! Josie continues to exceed my expectations as I always come back to my home even cleaner than I left it. I highly recommend Josie for any of your sitting needs.

Josie pet / house sat for us for a week in November 2018. Our dogs absolutely loved her! It was the first time we had ever left our dogs with anyone and we had never had anyone house sit either, so we were a little bit nervous but Maddie (5 month old Bichonpoo) and Tessy (9 year old Zuchon) snuggled into Josie right away. I don’t think they missed us at all! When we returned, our home was in perfect condition - in fact I’m sure it was cleaner than when we left it. Josie emailed pictures and updated us on how our “girls” were doing every day. I would highly recommend Josie. We have already lined her up to help us again in December.
