Information Julie A. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routines, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs. Please share details like feeding schedules, medications, triggers (like other dogs, loud noises, or strangers), preferred walking routes, and how they typically react to new people or environments. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide care that’s consistent with what they’re used to and helps them feel safe and comfortable in my care.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, this might include neighborhood walks, structured playtime (like fetch or tug), enrichment games, or training reinforcement. For high-energy pups, I include mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys or scent work. For more laid-back dogs or senior pets, I provide calm companionship, gentle walks, and plenty of affection. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and enriching experience that meets each pet’s needs and keeps them happy while you're away.

Reviews

We cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience we had with Julie! She was excellent with our pup who is not used to being away from home. She was super attentive to detail-inquiring about specifics of our normal which helped him adapt quickly. She got down on his level as soon as we arrived and was super loving. He was comfortable with her immediately. She also went above and beyond giving us updates and sending pictures throughout his stay. She was a true gem to find and we will definitely reach out to her again if we are back in the area!!

Julie was a fantastic pet sitter. She gave our big guy all the extra love he needed this weekend. Thank you Julie for being so amazing

Great experience with Julie. She took excellent care of our girl Tova! Look forward to using her again in the future!


Julie was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Milo and Ralph! Milo can be a bit timid and isn’t used to being left with anyone, but Julie made him feel completely at ease. When we picked them up, they were both so happy and relaxed! Julie was quick to respond, super accommodating with our schedule, and clearly cared for our pups like they were her own. We got regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in how comfortable and happy our dogs were. Thank you Julie!!
