Let me know of any quirks or behaviors of the dog, and allergies as well. If your little one has a specific schedule they adhere to, let me know!

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

Pet care experience

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 is absolutely amazing! She has watched Apollo multiple times and every time her communication is great, she sends so many pictures, and I can tell he is having a wonderful time with her!

I can’t recommend Julia enough! She was our rescue dog’s first sitter and I’m so glad. She gave regular updates and was so patient with our girl. Both her and her dog made Nalu feel safe and that’s the most you can ask. Thank you so much Julia

Julia was amazing! Our pup had so much fun. She can be sensitive and Julia was great with understanding her dietary needs, medication, and need to balance activity with rest. We are so excited to have found Julia and Vali can’t wait to go back!
