Pet Sitting Hunters Mill

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including managing multiple dogs in my own home. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs—including large and giant breeds. Dog Preferences & Handling Notes: For safety and physical health reasons, I am not able to accommodate: heavy leash pullers, highly dog-reactive dogs, dogs with a history of lunging/dragging handlers, or multiple large high-energy dogs requiring significant physical restraint. I’m best matched with: leash-trained dogs, senior dogs, lower-to-moderate energy dogs, gentle giant breeds, and dogs with solid walking manners. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for both your pets and me. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of calm, confident handling. I take a thoughtful, no-drama approach to pet care—dogs tend to settle quickly in my environment. I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for each visit. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in your home environment, where your dog is most comfortable and secure. I do not offer boarding in my home. I’ve found that dogs do best when they can stay in their own space with their familiar routine, scents, and surroundings. For safety, I only accept dogs that are well-managed, non-aggressive, and manageable on leash. I’m not a good fit for dogs with a history of biting, high reactivity, or uncontrolled behavior. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress experience for each dog while maintaining clear communication with owners. Attention to detail when it comes to pet care is paramount.

“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my elderly dogs while we were away. She came to our house every day for a week, was dependable, and went above and beyond by cleaning up all of their accidents and messes without hesitation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for so well. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Mandy always takes such good care of our fur babies! They get so excited when she comes to visit.

“Addison did an amazing job of caring for Sea Biscuit while I was out of town!! I was super anxious about leaving Biscuit while I went on vacation, but Addison understood what my cat needed during her visits with ease, earned Biscuit’s trust like it was nothing, and kept me informed of how she was doing so that I could enjoy my vacation without stressing. My cat was in good hands, and I’m so thankful for Addison’s good work!”

“Jenna was an absolutely lovely sitter to our little Pearl, who liked her a lot and took to her from the get-go. She’s very professional yet friendly, very responsible, and reliable. We hope to keep working with her in any other occasion we might need Pearl taken care of, as we’re extremely pleased with her.”

“Justice is always great with Gizmo and was sure to send me plenty of photos of him during his visit. Gizmo is partial to men and he definitely enjoys Justice's company. Justice makes my nervous boy feel at ease when I am out of town. He is definitely one of the best sitters and one of the few men in my area offering pet sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great sitter! ”
