Pawsome care for your furry friend!

Get $20 off your first booking with code DRJULD51557 Please read till the end before booking; Hello! I’m Julie, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs for over 10 years. Whether it’s boarding, walking, or drop-in visits for feedings, I do it all! My friends, family, and neighbors trust me wholeheartedly with their furry friends, and I pride myself on being the reliable go-to person for all their dog care needs. I love senior dogs because my Acey Pooh is a senior dog around 14 years old. I understand the unique needs of both energetic puppies and older dogs who may require a bit more care and patience. I also cater to miniature dogs that are between 3 and 10 pounds. I understand that they require special accommodations to make them comfortable and keep them safe. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. ⭐️⭐️ In order for me to ensure each dog receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of love please disclose any special needs your dog may have. Anxiety, behavioral problems, separation anxiety, special diet, excessive barking, on a routine vs house trained…etc. I limit dog size to Small and under 15 lbs. ⭐️⭐️ With me, your pet will feel right at home, whether they are staying overnight or just visiting for a quick walk. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s make sure they have the best care possible.

Excellent!! Julie is the absolute best! I’ve used the same Sitter for the last few trips, when she was not available I was in a panic, but luckily Julie and her fur baby Ace were amazing.I got daily photos and updates on my baby and pictures … She really put my mind at ease. Will definitely book again!

Julie was kind and sent pictures. She made sure Gizmo went out and played in the dog park and gave him a bath.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhome and a fenced patio where pups can spend some time outside. My complex is very big where we can walk for almost an hour without actually going in the street. If your dog is crate trained that’s great because they can sleep in crates at night. I typically like to give them some legroom during the day just to release some energy even after we’ve walked.

Pets

A typical day

I would feed them, allow them to have playtime with toys that I already have and I would also take them to spend time at the dog park in my community. And make sure that they sleep in their crate at night.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Julie can host up to 5 pets per night
It would be best to know if your dog has any training also, if there are any behaviors or habits that I should be aware of as well as if they have any special needs such as injuries medication or any disabilities. Please remember to bring pet feeding bowls, food, favorite blanket and crate for overnight bookings.
