Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog friendly home with a large fenced back yard. Dogs have access to the back yard at all times. For overnights the dogs sleep in their dog beds anywhere in the house that they are comfortable. Otherwise I follow the dogs regular routine. In the client's home I follow the dogs regular sleep, wake, feeding, exercise and play routine.

Does your pet experience anxiety? Scared of loud noises? Bark? Afraid of other dogs (larger, smaller, certain breeds)? Reactive to bicycles or skateboards? Try to escape from unfamiliar surroundings? Mark with urine or poo? Wear a harness or gentle leader to mitigate pulling? Does your pet have good recall? Can it be let off leash at the beach. Can it go to dog parks?

Neighborhood walks, trips to the beach, fetch or frisbee, toy play, dog park (if appropriate), stimulating games like hide and seek, practicing commands and reinforcing training.

Dogs are Awesome
Pet care experience
I have had the privilege of caring for puppy dogs and senior dogs, little dogs and extra large dogs, mutts and pure breeds. I've cared for puppies who are not potty trained; a Newfoundland with bad hips; a German Shorthair Pointer who loved to fetch at the beach for hours and hours; a 20 lb terrier with separation issues; high energy Spaniels who camped out in the kitchen with hopes of treats; an otherwise perfect 70lb mutt who turned out to be a muffin thief; a senior Aussie with dementia and digestive issues; my senior pup with a bad back, partially deaf and diminished vision and many more characters who have taken up residence in my heart. I am experienced administering medication, changing diapers, cleaning up poo, preparing special diets, taking long walks or short; brushing and nail trimming (dog willing); playing fetch; snuggling and petting, baking healthy homemade treats.

Reviews
Julia was fantastic! Easy to work with, super great at sending updates and Maple had a great time.

Julia was very prompt when I contacted her on the day I urgently needed help for my dog. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and truly took great care of my furbaby as if it were her own. She was attentive, gentle, and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals really showed, and it gave me so much peace of mind. I’m happy to know that I have someone I can truly rely on whenever we are in town. I am truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.

Julia took such good care of our dog while we were away. Luna appreciated the beach walks :)

Julia did a great job sitting for our older dog. She paid careful attention to our care instructions and kept in great communication throughout the stay.
