“I have known Julia for a while from a professional standpoint where she has always been respectful and caring of other. The same treatment is also brought over to the pet caring world. She has shared her fun experiences with the dogs she cares for and it appears that the pooches are having lots of fun as she takes them for long walks and provides plenty of loving attention to them. Some dogs have made a mess of themselves a few times while out in the fields, but she cleans them up to ensure they are in tip top shape.”

About: I’ve had 3+ years in professional dog training as well as kennel care. I have whelped litters of puppies and am well rounded for any level of dog. I currently train dogs in general obedience and give riding lessons part-time. I do this all from my home so I would be accessible at any time to your pets needs. My farm is over four acres and is surrounded by corn fields. I have two very well trained dogs that help me socialize client dogs. In the evenings I do crate all dogs.

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally now for 3 years. I have worked in shelters, clinics, and doggy daycare and boarding as well as owned animals my whole life. I am currently going to school for dog training! I have multiple pets in my home every day. I have a dog named Zoomie, a cat named Nala, and a pet rat named Rocket. Zoomie and Nala get fed twice a while getting enrichment activities daily. Zoomie gets walks and playtime in the yard and Nala has her own leash and harness and gets to explore the yard as well. I am also going through dog training school so all day I am learning new things about different dog breeds and enrichment. I currently am a full time student and don’t have a full time job so this schedule is day to day! I have been learning different enrichment activities and training exercises that will help a dog stay mentally enriched and would plan on walking the dogs multiple times a day so that their physical exercise is met. I am very flexible and can do any special requests that a client might need!

About: I’ve owned and volunteered with a variety of animals since a very young age, started volunteering for Down by the Creek Animal Rescue when I was around 11 years old which rehabilitated and housed animals of anything you can possibly imagine. I’m currently available full time and every single day of the week! I however would prefer to not have to do any over night stays anywhere. I have collars, leashes and harness because of the fact my yard is not fenced in. I also have baby gates to section off parts of the house so everyone can stay safe!
