I live one the water, so there’s plenty of visual stimulation for your puppy all day long. And I’m a few steps from a quiet bay front walk with plenty of nature and space for your dog to satisfy it’s senses and need for exercise.

Lover of ALL dogs, small or large !

Pet care experience

I’m a Registered Nurse by profession with 25+ years of experience ( most of that as a Labor & Delivery nurse) and I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was about 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their beloved pets. Then I was lucky enough to call one dog my own for 12 years. She showed up as a stray one day and my life has been changed for the better ever since. Sadly she passed away a few years ago. Because my life makes it hard to commit full time to another dog I nowadays rather dogsit someone else’s precious pet. Like yours !

Julia has been absolutely fantastic. She has gone above and beyond. I am so appreciative of the care she gives to Jupiter.

Julia was a kind and thoughtful Rover partner. She went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She treated my pup as her own and kept me updated every day with photos and messages. She was easy to get ahold of and very responsive during my pet’s stay. I would book her again in a heartbeat!

Julia boarded my dog for a week, and did a wonderful job! She sent daily updates and really made me feel like my pup was in a caring and pampered environment. My dog was treated to a vacation while our family was on vacation. I highly recommend Julia.

I truly cannot recommend Julia enough! If you are looking for a rover who will treat your pup as their own, she's the best. From the very beginning, Julia took the time to understand my dog’s shy nature, and daily routine, which put my mind at ease. Julia is also wonderful to communicate with and extremely reliable. Olive is already looking forward to her next visit with Julia.
