Meet Josie, Your Dog's New Favorite Human
I’m Josie, the human behind Brightside. After 10+ years in rescue, fostering, and professional animal caretaking, I created this collective to offer the kind of pet care I wanted but couldn’t find — the kind rooted in knowledge, kindness, and behavioral know-how. Whether you’ve got a nervous pup, a high-energy goofball, or a cat with serious opinions, I’m here to help them thrive.

“Josie is the only person I trust with my anxious rescue dog. She actually understands behavior — not just walks him, but notices when something’s off. It’s more than pet care — it’s peace of mind.”

“Brightside has been a total lifesaver with my unpredictable schedule. I book drop-ins on the go, and I always get updates and the cutest photos. My cat honestly likes Josie more than me now.”

“I left a full medication chart and behavior notes, and Josie followed everything to a T — even added things I hadn’t thought of. You can tell she’s been in rescue. She’s a pro.”
