It’s a dogs pampered life
Pet care experience
I specialize in caring for small sized dogs, but will take medium sized upon request. At my home, the dogs play hard and take naps on the couch. I have a real dog’s home. Toys are played with, lots of love, and your dog will become a member of our family. I am very active with my dogs lives. I invite friends over to socialize them. I have 2 friendly dogs who will immediately show happy tails for their new friend. We play with bubbles, chase balls, eat doggie ice cream, and even have a few toy fish hanging around. We are the kind of home that celebrates a dog birthday with special cakes or cupcakes, enjoys watching the dogs enjoy themselves and the silly things they do, and even puts on special tv shows like the puppy bowl and the dog whisperer for your furry friend. I know what it feels like, and the concerns you might have about leaving your dog with someone new. I’ve been the worried parent too. Therefore, I try to take a variety of photos/videos of them to help you rest easy, knowing they are in good hands. I also send updates about their adventures. My dogs and I look forward to meeting you and your dog, I do meet and greets to get to know your dog, before they visit. It’s a good way for you to get to know me and become comfortable with where your dog will be staying. I’ll give you a little tour of the house and backyard. This also gives me an opportunity to assess your dog’s personality and make sure this would be a good fit for them. During the first few days of his/her visit, I pay extra attention to them. This is typically a more anxious time (when they are just getting used to everything), so I want to make sure they are comfortable. Before your visit: • Make sure all vaccinations are up to date • Complete a meet and greet (if you are new) • Make sure your dogs profile is completely filled out. If your dog has bad habits, this is where you put it. Is he/she scared of storms? Does he/she have a habit of chewing shoes or socks? Does he/she have a routine/ritual I should know about? Is he/she sensitive to being pet, or has a sensitive spot? Would you suggest a lot of patience because of their shyness? Do they have a favorite toy or activity? This is where you put that information. The more I know about your dog, the better prepared I will be for making it a good experience for him/her. • Make sure to note if you’d like any grooming services. • Put together any special instructions If you’re dog is over 15lbs, I will accept based on the sizes and temperament that is best suited for my home. Please drop me a message. What you need to bring: • Food and measuring cup • Kennel and bedding • leash and collar (even if your dog wears a harness) • medications with instructions • Any treats to get them into the kennel and for while they are resting. After all dogs are asleep in their kennels at night, I work my job driving for Lyft on the weekends. It’s flexible enough where I can stop by to let the dogs out whenever I’d like. Usually, the dogs go to bed around 10 pm and I leave to drive as soon as they sound settled. Please let me know if this is a problem for you.
Reviews
Took excellent care of my miniature King Charles spaniel. Very good with King Charles spaniels. I think she played and had a lot of fun.
Macc did very well during his ten day stay. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures. There was a small miscommunication over his food, but it got sorted out. We are confident Macc was well cared for during his stay.
Very well looked after they had a fun time. Probably a better Vacation than ours.
I can say Juliana is a caring, nurturing, and attentive person to any pet in her care! Juliana takes wonderful care of her own pets and really has a passion for animals! Juliana shows great interest, compassion, and kindness to animals in her care!

I require kennels for your visit. Kennels are used for pup naps and solitude needed. To ensure all dogs get along, and there is no competition for food, all dogs are fed inside their kennels. I have a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to enjoy. I use pet gates and kennels to ensure their safety. If I am not at the house because I need to run an errand, I have security cameras both inside and outside my home, which allows me to look in on them, to make sure everything is as it should be. I also require a dog to be wearing a collar. I do this for a variety of reasons. It’s the safest way to ensure a skiddish dog comes out of their kennel, or goes outside for a potty break, etc. I do take in dogs from different households. We become a pack, which is wonderful for their socializing. If you have a more aggressive dog towards other animals, please let me know. If you’d like to schedule a time where there aren’t other dogs (besides mine), please let me know. Who would not be a good fit: if your dog has limited mobility, because my home is a split level and my dogs are pretty active. It just wouldn’t be a good fit for any dog who cannot climb stairs because of a medical condition.

The feeding and sleep schedule. If they take meds, that schedule as well. Allergies? Can they have treats? What is their temperament around other dogs? Do they have a favorite toy or blanket for comfort? Any emergency contact information. Medical history and vet info is also appreciated. I’d like to get to know your dog, so I can create the most comfortable atmosphere possible for them.
A typical day
A typical day this summer begins after their morning feeding. Usually, there is a lot to do in the garden and fenced-in backyard, so the dogs join me for my watering and plant care. Gracie (the youngest) will also be bringing me balls and frisbees for fetch. I have a ball launcher and bubble maker, so the day may very likely involve one of those activities, or both. My older girl Bella enjoys picking her own raspberries off the bushes while I pick raspberries. Often, we spend most of the day outside. After dinner, they are so tired out that they nap hard on the couch while I watch a movie. The evenings are quite relaxed. Bedtime is around 10 pm for them. I watch a bit more tv or listen to music while I fold laundry or something, giving them a chance to settle in for the night. They usually need a potty break around 3am - 4am, at which time, they join me in my bed for the remainder of the night. During the winter, we are more indoors, but the dogs have the freedom of running around in the fenced-in backyard.

My pets come first. Their needs are always attended to. I do a lot of gardening, so they will have plenty of time outside. We are a smoke-free home. The dogs normally sleep in their kennels for at least half the night before joining me in bed, but daytime is spent around the house or backyard.
