Highlights
Pet care experience
10+ Years • WFH • Fenced Yard
I’ve been caring for dogs since 2015, when I started pet sitting during my college years in upstate New York. More than a decade later, it’s something I still genuinely enjoy doing. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch for cuddles (if they’re into that!), I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Now that I live in Nashville, I have a home with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a friendly terrier mix named Ellie who loves making new dog friends. To provide each guest with the attention they deserve, I only board one family’s dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment instead of a crowded boarding experience. Since I work from home, your dog will have company for most of the day and is rarely left alone for more than 3 hours, if ever. When I do step out, I keep an eye on things with my dog camera for extra peace of mind. I also send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun your pup is having. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Whether they love to play, explore, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like part of the family. Early drop-offs and late pick-ups may be subject to an additional fee. Early drop off or late pick up are subject to additional fees.

Ratings and reviews
Julie and her family have watched our dog Meli multiple times and always take the best care of her. Julie is very communicative, responds promptly, and always sends a lot of photos throughout Meli’s stay. When our travel plans changed last minute Julie was incredibly flexible and welcomed her to stay an extra night and we could not be more grateful. Highly recommend!
While it was hard for me to leave my anxious rescue pup for 4 days (for the first time!), Julie made me and my pup feel at ease. She has experience with anxious dogs and was able to give my pup a safe and comforting environment. I can tell Julie truly adores animals and is very knowledgeable. She sent me lots of pics, videos, and updates! My anxious pup made considerable progress settling in with Julie and her home over the few days he was there 😄 it was sweet to see his progress through Julie’s photos and I definitely felt he was in great hands with Julie 🙏 I look forward to asking her to pet sit my pup again in the future!
Julie took very good care of our Chiweenie. He unexpectedly developed a hot spot overnight on his leg, (probably anxiety) and she even had a proper salve to put on it. She sent lots of photos and we will definitely contact Julie for future trips.
Julie was wonderful watching Harvey! Kept us updated through the day and could tell he had a great time running in her yard and playing with Ellie! Thanks!!
Julie was very accommodating to my anxious pup! I’m excited for him to continue to go see her for future visits
Julie was so amazing with our newly adopted dog! She took such excellent care of her and we could tell that our girl felt so safe and comfortable with her. She provided frequent updates and photos which we really appreciated. She also picked her up and dropped her off which was so helpful and she was communicative and on time. We look forward to booking with her again!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play or prefers lounging on the couch, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and make them feel right at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly small terrier mix, Ellie, who loves making new friends. I only board one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide personalized care in a calm, low-stress environment. If I need to step out for errands (rarely more than 3 hours), I can safely separate the dogs if needed and monitor them using my dog camera for extra peace of mind.

A typical day
Every dog has a different routine, and I do my best to stick to what they’re used to at home. On weekdays, we’re usually up around 7:00 AM for the first potty break and breakfast. Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor time in my fully fenced backyard, playtime, walks (if requested), and lots of cuddles. Since I work from home, your dog will get plenty of attention, and I’ll send frequent photo updates so you can see how they’re doing.
