Experienced Dog Trainer/Sitter

Hi! I have 8 years of experience working with dogs and cats in training, rescue, and animal care settings. I spent 6 years working in dog training at a family-owned facility where I worked with dogs of all personalities, including anxious and more difficult dogs needing extra socialization and patience. I also have experience caring for the medical needs of foster dogs and cats through a nonprofit rescue. As a pet owner myself with 3 dogs and 1 cat, I understand how important it is to leave your pets somewhere safe and caring. I offer boarding in my home with structured playtime, supervised interaction, and lots of attention throughout the day. As a full time stay at home mom, your pets will receive full-time care, patience, and a calm environment to help them feel comfortable and at home.

Great communication. She learned all of the request my dog communicated. Reliable last minute booking. Sent amazing pictures. She made him feel right at home. My dog returned "at peace" which is a good sign. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend Julia. She sent updates on our fur babies with pictures twice a day and both dogs loved her. When we returned home everything was nice and neat. We definitely will use her again.

Julia came by to meet us before our trip. The dogs loved her right away! She stayed in our home for a few days while we were out of town and kept us updated throughout the entire time. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Fantastic! She stayed with my 4 dogs for 3 days. She took care of my home, and updated me on how my babies were doing throughout the whole trip. I would highly recommend her, and will be booking her for future trips.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by keeping a calm, structured, and safe environment while following each pet’s individual routine and needs. In my home, pets receive supervised playtime, potty breaks, feeding on schedule, exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I slowly introduce dogs when needed and have experience working with anxious or shy pets who may need extra patience adjusting. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and companionship while making sure the home stays clean and secure.

Pets

A typical day

We will be having a structured based socialization time with all the dogs staying with me including my personal dogs this will help bring out confidence in your dog by helping them learn how to problem solve! just like us humans dogs need to socialize to while having fun playing with other dogs learning there own language just being a dog! My goal is for them to be tired and fullfilled when you pick up!
