Backyard Paradise for Your Pup🍃🌞

Hi sweet pet parents! I’ve always been known as an animal lover and dog person. I grew up with a chocolate lab named Grizzly, who my parents brought home when I was a newborn, and ever since then animals have held such a special place in my heart. My husband and I have a 14-year-old rescue pup named Penny who we absolutely adore. She’s a dachshund mix with so much personality and attitude! She loves spending time in our big backyard with our two little boys! She's very easy going and mellow with other dogs. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two kids under 4, and I also work part-time in healthcare. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for your pet throughout the day. I live an active lifestyle, love being outside, and go on walks often, so your pup will get plenty of attention, activity, and care. Either my husband or I will be home at all times; 24 hour care for your dog! We also have a large half-acre backyard with plenty of shaded spots, a tall secure fence, and lots of room to explore and play — truly a little paradise for dogs! I will treat your dog like family — with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pup!

Dash had a great stay with Julia and her family. They treated him like family. She sent texts and pics letting us know how he was doing. We hope to book again in the future. Thanks Matt

Julia was great! Super responsive and our dog Sam seemed to have a great time over at her house for the weekend. We got updates and photos daily. Would recommend her and would let her pet sit again in the future!

Chloe was very calm and relaxed when we came to pick her up showing she was very happy with Julia and her family. We will definitely rebook in the future. We highly recommend Julia!

I have a large fenced in yard with one friendly dog to keep your pup company. The yard has lots of grass, shaded spots and fun toys for dogs. I have 15 years experience with animals and feel confident/comfortable in taking care of them.

A typical day

Being outside if the weather permits and throwing balls for them to chase. Going on long walks and snuggling up on the couch at night. My two boys adore animals and give lots of treats/pets ❤️
