About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since childhood. I’ve owned dogs since I was 7 and spent 15 years working hands-on in veterinary clinics, as well as at shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. Before having children, I also ran my own pet-sitting service, caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m now a marine biologist who primarily works from home, but my love for animal care has never changed. Your dog will share our home with Sheriff, my very friendly black Lab, and my two young children, who love helping give extra attention and cuddles. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your dog has plenty of fun and feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is a central part of our home life. I work from home , which allows me to be present throughout the day for feeding, playtime, walks, pats, and monitoring each pet’s comfort and wellbeing. My days are structured but flexible, with plenty of one-on-one attention, enrichment, and downtime. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or extra cuddles, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day of the week. I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. With 15 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and shelters, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing changes in behavior or wellbeing. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and spacious environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are supervised to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the household. I provide reliable visits for feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship, while keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Monty loved Julie from the first moment he met her. She was right on time, very friendly and its obvious she's spent a lot of time with dogs. Julie was great and I highly recommend her!”
“Olivia was wonderful! You could really tell she loves animals! She was patient and kind with my timid dog Bunny and really took the time to get to know both dogs before taking them out. I will most definitely be using her services again!! ?”
About: I have loved having fur family in my life for 35 years. We shared our love with many cats over the years, 3 brothers when we couldn’t separate the brothers when we went to rescue a cat from the SPCA,… and have been blessed to enjoy 16 wonderful years sharing our love with our beloved Lucy, a yellow lab that loved long walks at Bonniebrook daily. We now enjoy sharing our love with a Mexican rescue who is now 7. As an artist I have also shared my passion and love for animals through my art, creating memory works for many friends, family and others. I will be the sole caretaker of your pet and look forward to getting to know your fur family and bringing them joy when you are not around to do so. I’m currently semi retired and only working sporadic work and mostly work from home so I’m free to share my time with your loved fur family As our current dog is a rescue with high anxiety, I would avoid bringing dogs into our home as it would create unneeded stress on our dog. I love to sit with them closely but understand that some animals need their own space.
“Deborah was great with my puppy! She spent extra time getting to know my puppy as it was their first meet up. She was punctual, great at communicating and responding quickly, and followed instructions perfectly. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in her care and will be requesting her services in the future!”
