Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & Experienced Pet Sitter
I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs with different personalities and routines. I take the time to learn each dog's needs and make them feel safe and comfortable while away from their family. I provide plenty of attention, affection, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks based on their normal routine. I have also cared for dogs that require medication and special instructions. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog's personality, and I love when they become comfortable enough to feel at home with me.

Ratings and reviews
As usual, Judy took great care of our little Penny Blossom! She is very kind, patient, and attentive with Penny. She is also communicative and sends regular updates, which we love. Penny is usually slow to warm to people but has taken to Judy very quickly.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with our experience. Our dog was given double his prescribed dose of medication while in the sitter’s care, which is a serious and concerning mistake. We understand that accidents happen, but medication instructions need to be followed carefully when caring for someone else’s pet. This caused us a great deal of stress and concern, and we would not feel comfortable using this sitter again.
Judy was wonderful with Penny! She took such great care of her and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Penny is very timid and can take a while to warm up to new people, but she bonded so well with Judy and was clearly comfortable and happy in her care. Judy was kind, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire stay. We already have Judy booked again and highly recommend her!
Thank you again Judy for taking great care of Bella!
We had a great daycare experience with Judy as a first step toward overnight stays. She was very responsive and communicative, provided updates throughout the day, and really took the time to get to know Penny’s quirky personality and help her feel safe and comfortable. We appreciated how attentive she was to Penny’s individual needs and look forward to having her stay with Judy again soon! :)
Judy took a lot of time before our boarding to ask questions about Dream- what she likes, what she needs to be comfortable, her allergies, etc. that already put me at ease. But when I received daily updates from Judy with descriptions of how my dog was acclimating, how they were getting along, with pictures of their daily adventures, I knew she was in the best possible hands. My dog gets very anxious when we are apart and I am so glad to have finally found a sitter who wants to *genuinely* understand how to best approach my dogs needs. She came back smelling amazing too :)

Schedule
I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle time based on your pet's normal routine. I do my best to keep their schedule as close as possible to what they're used to at home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean, comfortable one-bedroom apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. I provide a calm, smoke-free environment with plenty of attention and affection. There is a large park directly across the street, which makes it easy to provide walks, outdoor time, and exercise based on your dog's needs. For safety and comfort in my apartment, I currently accept dogs up to 50 lbs. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and other routines. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.
A typical day
A typical day is based on your dog's usual routine and energy level. I provide regular potty breaks and walks, including walks around my neighborhood or at the large park across the street when appropriate. At home, your dog can enjoy playtime, attention, cuddles, or simply relax and nap near me. I enjoy spending time with each dog and getting to know their personality. Whether your dog loves longer walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day with lots of relaxation, I adjust their day to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

- Before your pet’s stay, I’d love to know about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, exercise needs, sleeping preferences, and any medications or special needs. Please also let me know about any fears, anxiety, triggers, behavioral concerns, or anything else that will help me keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’m always happy to ask questions and follow your instructions. Good communication helps me provide the best possible care for your pet.
