Pet care experience
I've spent at least half my life around dogs. I have owned small (King Charles Spaniel mix) and large (Golden Retriever) dogs in the past. I currently have a lab/pointer/collie/mystery mix with high energy and separation anxiety. When I haven't had my own dog, I've volunteered at local animal shelters and learned to work with all sorts of different dogs: high energy, low energy, shy, anxious, from Huskies to Chihuahuas and Terriers to Shepherds. I've also read the book on dog psychology (which I recommend—Inside a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz.) I have experience providing oral medication and treating ear infections, as well as basic grooming experience. I know it's easy to worry about a pup while you're away so I'm happy to send daily emails or texts with photos and status updates. I work from home remotely, so I have some flexibility in my schedule for walks and drop-ins. I'm also a great sitter for pets with separation anxiety; since my dog has separation anxiety, I already set up my schedule to accommodate it. My apartment is part of a fourplex with a huge shared yard that's great for potty breaks and for dogs to play in. The yard also hosts my neighbor's very friendly and well-trained, unneutered male labrador retriever for much of the day.
Reviews
Julia was great. Communication was very good- thorough cards each day with photos and details. Thanks!
Julia’s so kind and helpful with our 3mo old puppy! We really appreciate her help!
Julia was great dog sitting our big dog at our house while we were on vacation. She kept us updated and sent photos, and left the house in perfect condition. We felt great about the whole experience. We will definitely be calling Julia again. Thank you Julia!
Julia took such great care of our pups and house while we were out of town. Our dogs enjoyed being spoiled with lots of walks and play time outside! And when we returned from our trip, the house was cleaner than when we left. Thank you Julia!

I want to know about your pet's personality, needs, and any health concerns. In particular, I'd like to know details about how they interact with other dogs.
A typical day
I'm happy to take dogs on long walks. Depending on the pup, I'm happy to play tug of war or fetch 'til they drop; I'm a good shot with a chuckit.
