Pet care experience

Sweet and simple care

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! From German shepherds, poodles, and now a Pitt mix. I’ve helped with the birthing process to training to full time care. I primarily worked with anxious dogs to get them more confident, and my dog loves to help other dogs feel more confident as well

Julia was super accommodating on short notice! Sammie can be pretty anxious, and Julia is always really patient with her and gives her time to warm up. She had a great stay!

Julia was well communicative and was flexible with an early pick up due to coming back from a trip earlier then expected. Tilly is sleeping on the couch right now exhausted from all the fun play time

Julia is the BEST! Her updates throughout the boarding are 10/10 and my I can always tell my pup has the best time with her and Bambina.

Julia was amazing. She watched our dog Scampi for 13 days while we were away in Europe. She sent frequent videos and pictures and took wonderful care of our girl. Thank you Julia!

We had tremendous experience with Julia. She is very good with dogs. Our dog, Beba, was very happy at her house. Receiving daily updates, pictures and videos was great help for us because it was a first time we separated from our dog for such a long time. We’re very happy with the experience! Thank you, Julia!

Safety, trust & environment

With a fenced backyard, fetch and exploring is done, a lot of different sensory toys for the dogs to explore, or just take naps on the multiple couches I have. Doggy gates are to provide protection from the plants I have but also to help if your dog resource guards food. Food time is separate, and my dog is also crate trained as well

Pets

A typical day

My neighborhood has a lot of other dogs so it is scents galore! Scent work, mentally stimulating games, and walks are our pleasures. If the weather permits, fetch in the backyard! We also do movie nights and sometimes steak and “frites” night
