Pet care experience

Your dogs new best friend!

I’ve been dog-sitting for over ten years now, and I genuinely love it! Every dog has their own little personality, and it’s so fun getting to know them and make them feel happy and at home. We’ve got a big fenced yard and a really sweet, well-trained golden retriever who gets so excited to have a new buddy around. Your pup will get lots of attention, kindness, and a calm, comfortable place to settle in.

Ruby had a great time at Julia’s house with Clover. Julia took excellent care of her and provided lots of photo and video updates! Ruby got lots of attention, exercise, and playtime. Looking forward to future stays!

Julia cared for our older dog like he was hers. The pictures and updates she sent gave us the peace of mind that the family hound was being well looked after. 5-stars, highly recommend!

Julia was amazing with my dog, Eddie. He’s a small but very reactive dog and not the easiest to handle at times. I don’t trust him with many people, but Julia took the time to understand his needs, and Eddie absolutely loved his time with her every time she’s cared for him! The daily photo updates were so reassuring, it’s so nice having someone you trust. I highly recommend booking with Julia!

Julia is one of few people in the world that I would trust to take care of my dog. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is loved, cared for, and has fun. She is experienced, responsible, and responsive. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Julia is the absolute best! She has watched my dog, Archie, several times for weekends and longer trips. She is responsible, caring and such a natural with dogs. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure dogs in her care are active, happy and well cared for. Archie always comes home happy & exhausted from having such a great stay with Julia… Can’t recommend her enough!!!

Julia is an amazing dog sitter. Kevin had such a wonderful time with her that he didn’t even want to leave! She took him on fun outings and let him sleep on her bed (his favourite). Julia sent regular updates and photos throughout the weekend, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She is incredibly loving with animals, responsive, and very accommodating. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. If you’re looking for the best care, love, and attention for your furry family member, look no further.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m here to meet your dog’s needs, whatever that looks like for them. If they have specific eating routines, sleeping quirks, meds, or just need a slower, gentler day, I’m happy to follow whatever you share so they feel settled. Our home is puppy-proofed with a big fenced yard, and I always get the full rundown from you beforehand so their time here feels familiar, easy, and stress-free.

A typical day

We get outside a lot to play in the yard, explore a bit, or just get some fresh air. Inside, I rotate between little enrichment things like puzzles, chews, or practicing a new trick if they’re into it. I think following the dogs energy is important - some dogs want to play more, some want to chill more. We’re good with both around here!

Before your dog comes, just let me know anything that’s important for them — how they like to eat, where they usually sleep, any routines they’re used to, and if they have any triggers or things I should be mindful of. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to make them comfortable and keep their stay feeling familiar.
