Pet care experience

Julie's Home and Pet Care

I am active, healthy, positive and loving. I love dogs and cats. I cannot imagine a life without them. I have had dogs and cats all of my life in every place where I have lived: Alaska, Eastern Washington and Seattle. I have cared for pets at all stages of their lives, from puppies and kittens to older, senior dogs and cats. My own beloved yellow lab, Izzy, died at age 14 and I cared for her to the end of her wonderful, long life. I am currently caring for a diabetic cat who gets insult with his meals, twice each day. I started seriously pet setting after I retired from 40 years of teaching I I provide quality care based on knowledge and experience so that owners know their pets and home are safe and lovingly cared for in their absence. Please see my reviews which attest to the good care I provide to my clients, animal and human!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 24, 2025

Julianne is friendly and caring, and took great care of my greyhound for the day so I could attend an event in Kingston. I appreciated how flexible Julianne was with my (ferry-dependent) schedule. Her home is close to the park, so I know my pup enjoyed her walks. I'd be happy for Gia to stay with Julianne again anytime!

House Sitting • Jun 02, 2024

Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!
