Availability

My friends call me SJ (short for Super Julie); please call me that. Let me love and care for your furball(s). I'm available immediately for boarding or house-sitting and caring for your family. I work remotely, so I walk a few times a day and I love a companion - either your adorable dog or cat (if they like walks) with me. I love to play and then, later, give and get snuggles. I love all animals and can care for older, blind, deaf, and special needs dogs and cats. I care for your loved one(s) like they are my own. I have cared for: dogs, cats, chickens, birds, fish, frogs, turtles, goats, bunnies, hamsters, mice, horses, sheep, alpacas, and ferrets.

Information Julie B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know their temperament, preferences, and anything unique, like behavior quirks. Are they anxious or shy? Do they bark at the wind? Do they lick the carpet? Do they prefer to be on top or beneath the covers? Do they love to snuggle or desire to be independent with "don't touch me" energy? I get it and can accommodate whatever they/you wish.

A typical day

About You and Your Furry: If your dog or cat is active, we will play with the ball, tug-of-war, play "hide and go seek treats" in the house, and run with a long ribbon (cats love this game)! I'll accommodate your dog or cat's favorite activities and ensure they get exercise and love while in my care. Similarly, if your dog or cat is a couch potato, I'll snuggle and hang out with them. Whatever they usually do with you, I'll do with them!

Julie is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter and all around person. She communicated wonderfully all throughout and when my dog was having some extra anxiety she problem solved. I have no doubt Julie's calm demeanor helped to calm my dog and make her feel at ease. I cannot wait for our pup to stay with her again. Julie is a true professional!

SJ was so great with Ryman. Gave a lot of updates with pictures. Our buddy had so much fun there

SJ took care of our Pomeranian for a day to help him get accustomed to boarding, and the experience was excellent. She is very perceptive and attentive to each dog’s personality, which made a big difference for our pup, who is quite anxious. Throughout the day, she sent frequent updates that gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make him comfortable—taking him on a relaxed walk, letting him settle in at his own pace, and giving him the freedom to do what he was comfortable with. Overall, I’m very happy with SJ’s care of our pup.

Always takes the very best care of Bo- lots of walks, naps and pictures of it all. We so appreciate SJ and how much we can trust her with our pup.
