Information Julianne F. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are welcome! I ask pets to be up to date with veterinary check ups, vaccinations, distemperment shots, flea and tick prevention etc. Please inform of any special needs, requirements, detailed information and temperament to provide your loved one with the best care.

A typical day

I live in a house with a large fenced yard. I love to walk and move. I typically walk an hour+ a day sun, rain or snow and would love to have your pet join me. I work from home and have a flexible morning, mid day to late afternoon schedule. There are two parks within 3 blocks from my home. I am a playful spirit at heart and enjoy allowing pets to bring out their playful instincts with toys, balls, fetch, laser lights & strings for kitties etc.

Pets

Nurturing Care Giver & Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I am a nurturing, care giver who loves animals! I have been taking care of beloved pets; walking, in home & drop in sitting for 30+ years. I have raised several large breed dogs & a variety of cats over my lifetime. I believe when you own a pet, they are your family for their life. I last raised Siberian Husky pups through the ages of 15 years old. I raised cats that have lived to the age of 17 plus. Currently, I have two 12 year old cats that our vet cant believe how healthy they are! I also am a Reiki Energy Master working with a variety of ailments, illnesses and anxiety of pets with healing hands and an intuitive, loving approach.

Julianne went above & beyond with my cat who ended up showing extreme & unexpected aggressive behavior over the course of 1 week +. Despite this, she continued to stop by and complete check-in tasks and sent detailed reports/updates. It means the world to me that Julianne continued check-ins and provided detailed information regarding her experience, so I may reflect on my cat’s behavior and work to better understand my pet and what’s needed when I’m away. THANK YOU JULIANNE

Another great job for our little guy. I know he gets a bit out of sorts when we’re gone, but Julianne has figured out how to chill with him to make sure he feels safe.

Julianne took great care of Nelson! He seemed to warm up to her very quickly for such a shy cat.
