Pet care experience

5+ yrs experience w/ special needs

Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I was that kid who brought home every bird, lizard, cat, or dog that needed help. Right now I have a cat and a bunny rescue, they are the cutest of unlikely companions! I miss owning a dog and use any spare time I can to care for family and friend's dogs. This includes some fur friends with special needs so I am very familiar and comfortable with the extra time, patience and, attention needed to care for even the most complex of animals.

As before, Julie did a wonderful job looking after my 4 cats and dog. She also took care of the plants and walked my dog Bella. She even made "friends" with one of my very shy cats. I will use Julie again in the future.

Our dog is so well cared for by Julie when we recently went on vacation out of state. We are incredibly grateful for how easy Julie is to work with and appreciates how much our pup really loves her.

This is the first time I used Julie and I was very pleased with how she looked after my naughty Beagle and 4 cats. The house was left as I had left it. I am very happy and will use Julie again if she is available. Perfect sitter!

We got stranded during a blizzard while away on a trip and Julie extended our dogs stay and took care of him for almost an entire week longer than anyone expected. She saved us a lot of heart ache while we were stuck out of state. She's the best.

Julie does an excellent job communicating with her clients. I felt she really did have my pets best interest in mind and worked with me to make sure they were okay while I was gone.

Safety, trust & environment

My care style is fully dependent on what the animal needs and what makes the pet parents most comfortable. I specialize in the animals that need a little extra patience or attention (anxious, reactive, shy).

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the animal's energy level and needs, I'll use food puzzles for enrichment, walks around their neighborhood or nearby parks, if they are able to swim I can also take them swimming in my pool. I cater to their style of play wether that's fetch, tug of war or just running around!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Julie can host up to 3 pets per night
I would like to know if the animal has any allergies, if there is anything they are triggered by or reactive to, what their normal routines are and anything else that helps me provide the best care possible!
