Julie was fantastic and came to our rescue when we were in a really tight spot and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We cannot wait to work with Julie again.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I grew up caring for my family’s Labrador Retriever from puppyhood until his senior years at 13, giving me hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppy routines to the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Now, I’ve transitioned into house sitting and dog walking to stay connected to that same joy and companionship. I treat every dog like my own—focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m currently planning to go back to school, so I’m keeping my weekdays flexible for studying and personal commitments. That means weekends are the perfect time for me to spend quality time with pets. I love having dedicated, unrushed time to focus on walks, play, and companionship—so weekend pet care fits perfectly into my routine I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow the feeding schedule you provide, make sure they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, all while maintaining any training or house rules you’ve set. I give lots of attention, monitor their behavior, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. I also have experience administering injections in the human medical field, so I am comfortable administering those trickier medications to your pets! My priority is making your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away—just as they would with you.

About: I’ve raised dogs since I was 11, from huskies to hunting breeds; with 20 years of hands-on care, I can handle seniors, puppies, and anyone that needs a little bit of extra attention. I'm a full-time stay-at-home dog mom, and my dogs get round-the-clock care. They want a little extra time with Dad, so they pushed me to do Rover. For dog walking, I provide a fun walk tailored to each dog’s energy level and temperament. During check-ins, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication if needed, and companionship. For overnight stays, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to the best of my ability, offer comfort, monitor behavior, and ensure home security. I’m experienced with senior dogs, wound care, and special needs, and I prioritize clear and FAST communication with owners through updates and photos.

About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of animals. I have always had dogs in the house and love having animals around to enjoy! I work from home most days and have a more relaxed schedule during the summer which allows me to give some more attention to the pups during the day! I have a fenced in backyard. My dogs are crate trained but I do have a baby gate to prevent them from going down into the basement. They have access to roam around the house and get fresh water. I am able to monitor while I am working during the day!

About: I had a dog that my family had for 10 years, i’ve walked, fed, played with him daily. As soon as I finish school I plan to get a dog of my own! I have also been responsible for dog sitting for 6 weeks with a 8 month old puppy, and did all routine cares for him. I am a part time patient care technician at UIHC, and I also occasionally nanny. I have an avid love for dogs, and since my family just recently lost ours due to heart disease, I look for any chance I can to get some extra dog love. I have a rather flexible schedule, and would love to help you out. I am a playful, gentle person who understands it takes pups time to warm up to new people. I would ensure the area is safe for the dog to be left alone when I leave.
