Professional Dog Training/Pet Care
Pet care experience
* All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (only through house-sitting, not currently boarding), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕
Reviews
Excellent experience! Our dog was sad to leave.
We have used Julia multiple times when we were gone for extended periods of time. She is very responsible and loving when caring for my dog. (very trustworthy as well) She let my dog out, played with my dog, and sent pictures to ease my mind that my dog was doing great. She didn't just do a quick "sop in", she actually spent time with my dog playing with her so she could get some exercise. Julia will replenish my dog's water when needed and give her treats if I leave them out for her. I will definitely use Julia whenever we are gone for long periods of time and I would recommend her to ANYONE. Julia's love for animals is apparent!!
Julia was very professional and friendly, excellent with my dogs and seemed too really enjoy being around and taking care of animals. I would definitely use her again!
Julia is one of the most loving, patient and graceful people I know. She loves not only her pets but does great in care of other families pets. If I were going out of town, and she was available she would the first one I would call to take care of my Hank. She is trustworthy and reliable. Friendly and energetic. She is great at all she does and have a great heart.
