Pet care experience

Work from home dog lover!

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities and energy levels, from puppies to seniors. As a dog owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pup when you’re traveling, so my goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I work from home, which means your pup will have plenty of company throughout the day, along with frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime and lots of attention. I’m also big on sending photos and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! I have a friendly dog named Knox who loves having a buddy around. Whether your dog loves long walks and playing or would rather curl up on the couch, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. 🐾

I can’t recommend Julia enough! She took very good care of my GSD, sent updates throughout the day, & our dogs became besties over the course of a few days. :)

Julia was so kind and attentive! Sending photos and providing updates a few times daily really made my day! Her dog, Knox is so friendly and a perfect playmate.

Julia was great at contacting me and letting me know that Dex had been a bit hesitant. (He always is.) He basically just needs to adjust with new people. She sent me a video too. She was able to convince him to go out and he did his business which is all I need.

I had a great experience with julia! She was an excellent communicator from the start—prompt, clear, and friendly. I really appreciated that she arranged a meet and greet before the walk, which made me feel more comfortable and gave my dog a chance to get to know her. My dog took to her right away, which says a lot! She was warm, professional, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend

Schedule

I work from home, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I care for. I typically take my own dog on three walks a day and can easily accommodate additional potty breaks, playtime and your dog’s normal routine!

A typical day includes plenty of attention, walks, playtime and lots of cuddles! Since I work from home, your pup will have company throughout the day and plenty of opportunities for potty breaks and outdoor time. I usually take my dog on three walks a day and am happy to adjust based on your dog’s normal routine and energy level. We can play fetch, do enrichment puzzles, explore the neighborhood or just relax on the couch. My goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away!
