Julene took excellent care of our little puppy on short notice and went above and beyond with a meet and greet and lots of photos while taking care of our puppy! Reliable and would definitely recommend!

Julene was amazing with our dog Ziggy! She was professional, attentive and kind, and we came back to a calm and happy dog. She was very accommodating of all of Ziggy’s needs and left our house exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Julene and we hope she can take care of Ziggy again in the near future!

Julene was just fantastic with our cats! She was very responsive and professional. We really appreciated her accommodating a last minute request and it was incredible having a veterinary assistant drop in on our cats when one was dealing with health issues. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter :)

Julene is always so wonderful with my fur babies. They definitely are well cared for in my absence and look quite happy in the photos she sends. I know I can trust her to play with them and care for them as I would. Highly recommend!

Thanks again to Julene for another great cat sitting. It’s easy to see our kitties trust her and we feel good knowing they’re in good hands.
