About Josie

I am a passionate dog and cat lover, who has owned dogs and cats for many years, as well as rabbits and rats and hamsters. I am confident in handling many animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, small mammals and reptiles. I am always looking for an excuse to pet an animal! I currently live with 4 cats and live with 2 dogs when I visit my other parents house.

I am currently in my third year studying animal behaviour and welfare at university and have plenty of relevant animal experience.

I am available in Wokingham and Bracknell areas as well as reading areas such as Upper Woolhampton, Bucklebury, Theale etc.

I also drive. I am very flexible and am happy to discuss availability.

Josie was very conscientious and I returned to happy kittens and elderly cat. I would have preferred pictures with updates however, I may not have made this clear at our initial meeting and it was for only a few days. That aside the care could not be faulted and I would recommend Josie to anyone else.

Josie was very punctual, polite and professional. Otis liked her instantly and was very well cared for and happy. I would happily use Josie to dog sit again and couldn't recommend her more highly.
