Pet care experience

Fuzzy Friend Whisperer

Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need.

Julia and her family made my dog Riley feel right at home. She provided regular updates and pictures. I could tell Riley was well cared for and will be using Julia’s help again.

Julia was fantastic with our cat! She was extremely responsive and sent the best updates and pictures/videos, which made us feel so much better about our trip. She went above and beyond by grabbing our packages she saw out as well. This was our first time leaving our cat and our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier!! Next vacation we take, we’ll be booking Julia again! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl 😊

Julia finally got our little girl Luna to engage in playtime. My husband cannot even do that when I go and he’s home lol. She waits for me to return. Julia is a wonderful pet human for she believes our pets are hers. I would recommend her highly. Thank you Julia.

Schedule

I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone.

Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

Pets

A typical day

We live near one of the most beautiful parks in the area, a great place for adventures with fuzzy friends. I take my dog there just about every day. If your dog stays with me they'll have a nice long walk every day and several outdoor breaks throughout the day. There may be a ball or a frisbee involved. Additional note about boarding: we’re available for drop off/pickup between 8:30am and 8:00pm.
