I was pretty nervous since I've only left her with family and friends she knew but they made me feel comfortable and safe having them take her...btw, this is the first time I e ever used a service like this.

About: Having grown up with dogs, I infuse every walk with personal care and understanding. With me, each stroll becomes a cherished moment for your furry friend. Being retired, I’ve woven dog walks seamlessly into my daily routine. Dog walking isn’t just a service I offer, but a personal joy and focus. With vast availability throughout the week, I ensure every walk is unhurried and devoted, turning each outing into a delightful escape for both me and the furry companion. While I specialize in dog walking, ensuring each pet gets their needed exercise and outdoor time, I prioritize their safety and well being above all. Even though I don’t care for them in homes, during our walks, I’m always alert to their surroundings, avoiding potential hazards, and ensuring they’re comfortable. I also make it a point to understand each dog’s unique preferences and habits, so every walk is tailored to their individual needs. It’s about more than just a walk; it’s about understanding and respecting each dog’s personality on our shared journey.

I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

“We needed a dog walker on very short notice and Julie came to the rescue! We were able to connect over the phone on the way out of town and then connected her with my Mom, who was staying with the dogs at our house. Loved that she was comfortable to make a plan over the phone at the last minute- as there was not time for anything else. My Mom said the dogs loved her the moment she entered the house and that she was very friendly and on time. I will definitely be using Julie again- nice to have someone you can trust when life gets in the way!”
