Wet Noses & Wagging Tails
It can be so difficult to leave your babies while traveling, but leaving them with me will make it a heck of a lot easier on both you and your furry family member! It can take some dogs more time than others to become comfortable around someone new, so what I like to do is meet in a neutral place (a park or the beach). This will help them to accept me coming into their space more easily. If you have an animal who loves to have visitors then I could definitely come to your house to meet you and your pet(s). Your dog and their well being is my number one priority. I will treat them as my own. I do offer training tips and can work with your dog on certain things if needed. If there are any issues or concerns, let me know and I will probably be able to help you with them.

Ratings and reviews
Julia was wonderful! Frisco had a blast and we received photos and updates for his stay. I would definitely rebook and recommend Julia for boarding your pet. Thanks Julia!
Julia is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. She mDe the extra effort to meet our dogs before caring for them. I would absolutely recommend her.
Julia is a real animal lover, our cat warmed up to her so fast. Thanks Julia!
Julia is an incredible petsitter! She took great care of our pets (via home visits) and provided frequent updates & pics of the pets. We have a senior dog with medical needs so it was a huge relief to know he was in good hands. Julia was super professional & communicative even through crazy schedule changes, an anxious pup, and an ant inavsion (eek). The kitten seemed to take a liking to her. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
My old, diabetic cat can be anxious around new people. Julia was kind and patient and gained my little guys trust. The communication was great and I loved receiving picture updates. Made our weekend trip away stress free!
Julia is an amazing dog sitter! We were very happy with the structure, training, and attention Julia provided for our high energy lab while we were away for almost two weeks. Julia met with us several times before hand to answer our questions and to help us with training. While our dog was with her, she sent lots of photos and videos of our dog playing on the beach, on long walks, and practicing obedience. She helped us with training and figured out the problems with our Mini Esucator collar. It was so nice to know our dog was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely ask Julia to watch our dog again when we go away! We highly recommend Julia!

Schedule
Monday - Friday weekly we do a pack run with our off leash trained dogs. On warm sunny days I like to go to the beach so they can play in the water. I go to Red Rock when there is a lot of water and it’s not too hot. Throughout the week I have training sessions with various clients but not a set schedule or time. I bring outside boarding dogs with me to these sessions and they can either participate or wait in the car. Sessions are usually 1 hour.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and the cat who lives at the house is used to dogs. If your dogs are crate trained I have a dog room with all sizes of crates so no need to bring yours. Typically the dogs have free run of the yard while I’m home but not unsupervised. When boarding dogs, if I leave the house they come with me or stay home in their crate. I have cameras and I check on them frequently. I’m never gone more than 4 hours. If I’m house sitting and your dogs are fine to be left at the house when I need to run an errand or go to a training session then I will leave them home.
Pets
A typical day
I start my days Monday - Friday with a 4 mile pack run out on the More Mesa Bluffs from 9-10:30am. If your dog is good off leash I like to take the pack to an open space to chase the ball and socialize and sniff. There is an open space out in Goleta near my dads house that I like to go to, since I go out there almost every day. If your dog is better on leash then a walk through the neighborhood will do just fine. I typically like to walk about 1 mile. I can do more if requested.
