Fur Mama to 9

Pet care experience

Huge animal lover. Husband works from home so at least one of us is always home for constant care & supervision. Completed standard & Family Obedience Training w our borador, Noire (57lbs collie/lab). Have been pet sitting (feed, walk. Supervised yard time, cuddles) for 6 years. Active volunteer with local dog rescue, Paws for Life K9 Rescue. My husband & I foster when we can. Comfortable with all size cats & dogs. Fenced in backyard, a private room upstairs for overnight guests, plenty of toys & peanut butter to share. Baby gates for safety. Our dog & cats have been raised together so they are completely comfortable with other dogs /cats of all sizes. We've hosted teacup Yorkies to Danes & mastiffs.

Julia was willing to take a very late/last minute request. Gus loves walking with her.

My toy poodle rescue is so afraid of everyone, but such a sweet little guy. Julia was so patient and wonderful with him, gave him him lots of loving attention, and made him completely comfortable with her. He clearly bonded with her, and that is a huge achievement. She is a wonderful pet sitter who has a special connection with animals.

Information Julia M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your animals preferences, routines, & schedule to stay as close to their "normal" as possible. Make sure they are current on vaccines & if they are comfortable with dogs & kitties.

A typical day

Close to Washington Park. Mountains of toys. Santa always brings plenty of goodies. Can go to dog parks for agility course if you are comfortable with dog parks & car rides. Love to visit dog friendly stores & restaurants.
