Pet care experience

Pet-lover, reliable & trustworthy!

I am a teacher who loves to pet-sit on the side! I am VERY flexible! Aside from my WORK HOURS during the school year (8-3:30), I am flexible for stopping by for home visits. I've had dogs all my life and I currently have 1 of my own (Goldendoodle but I've had 3). I am happy to pet-sit with cats too! I can also water your flowers/plants ($5-10/day) and take in mail. Pet-sitting at my house is a possibility. If the dog/cat is laid back and gets along with my dog (who is very friendly), then that would be fine. I could brush them or take to/pick up from a groomer or elsewhere for a little extra cost. I love to pet and snuggle dogs! We can go for walks or play fetch in the yard!

Julie took such wonderful care of our VERY senior dog. She sent several photos and videos each day, along with a daily update on how Ted was doing. We will 100% use Julie again in the future.

Julie was awesome! She did a wonderful job with Bayleigh and Bayleigh responded very well to her. This was our first time leaving Bayleigh with someone other than family and it was a positive experience. Thank you, Julie for being a great caregiver!

Julie is amazing! The moment we met her and her family we knew we could trust her with Mamba (our fur baby)! You could see that he immediately felt comfortable in their home. He even barked at US when we came to pick him back up.. haha we had great communication throughout his stay with her and couldn’t wish for a better experience! I’m sure Mamba misses her already! Thank you again so so so much Julie for taking good care of our Baby. We will definitely book with Julie for his next stay. 10/10 !!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 10, 2024

Julie was great & took good care of Zeke for the afternoon. I think that he felt right at home there. Communication is also very good both before and during the visit. I'm sure that Zeke will be back if needed in the future.

Schedule

I am a teacher, so during the school year the dogs get fed and let out twice before I leave for work. I’ll get them out again when I get home around 3:30/4:00. In the summers and the weekends, I am home full-time!

A typical day

We could walk the neighborhood or go to a nearby park. If they like to run and catch a ball/frisbee, I could do that too. Let me know if they NEED a walk to poop!
