About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.

“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”

I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care.

I will also be participating in the spring field hockey season at Springfield College, but I’m very organized with my time and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise. At home, I care for my two dogs daily and am very hands-on with their routine. I make sure they are fed on a consistent schedule, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and always have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space.
