Engaging Play and Thoughtful Care
Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and personalities for years — from playful puppies to sweet senior companions. My experience started with fostering young dogs (puppies to 1-year-olds), where I focused on building good habits through positive training and structured play. I now have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m no stranger to puppy energy, consistency, and enrichment! He currently is at Hunt Test training and most likely will not be home. Before that, I cared for my elderly family dog, learning the patience and attentiveness needed to support dogs through every life stage. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve time to think, play, explore, and bond. I love incorporating brain games, problem-solving toys, and active play to keep dogs mentally sharp and physically happy. Whether it’s a fun training session, a sniff-filled walk, or cuddle time after a good play, I make sure each pup feels safe, stimulated, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment
Right now, my dog Bo is away at hunt test training, so your pup will have my full attention during their stay or visits. If Bo comes home from training, I’ll always check with you first to make sure you’re comfortable before any introductions or playtime together — your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I have a secure outdoor play pen where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I’m also in the process of having a full fence installed within the month to provide even more freedom and security for outdoor fun. I take pet safety seriously — from watching for heat and hydration during play to using safe, durable toys. During walks, I make sure each dog is properly fitted with the right collar or harness for their comfort and control. I’m also experienced in using pinch/prong collars correctly and safely for dogs who are trained with them, ensuring a calm and confident walking experience. No matter where I’m caring for your dog — in your home or mine — I strive to create a secure, trusting, and enriching environment where they can relax, play, and thrive.
Ratings and reviews
Julia has great communication. Moose is always excited for his walks and is always checking the door in anticipation she’s there. We are so appreciative that Julia gets him moving (part walk/part run) and also works on his commands while out.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently work from home, which helps me keep an attentive eye on your pup! My office is set up with a kennel so that your pups can play or snooze right next to me. Working from home also means I’ll be able to work from your home if that is desired! I am able to shift my working hours in the day, so if we need a nice hour long lunch walk, that’s no issue!
