Providing peace of mind pet care

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since I found a flea and tick infested, emaciated doggo when I was 10. She gave me 19 years of absolute bliss and saved me in more ways than I saved her. I have experience with pups of all ages and size. My current pup is 100 lbs, I'm not a stranger to a dog with some strength behind them. I also have experience with reactive or reserved dogs and don't shy away from helping you, help them! I tend to do quite well making friends with shy guys that are nervous around strangers. I have personal experience with animals other than dogs and cats, including chickens, ducks, rabbits, birds, hamsters, snakes, turtles, and a variety of lizards. I will happily accommodate care for any of your pets as needed! (I am allergic to guinea pigs, I can care for them but I cannot love on them unfortunately)

Julie watched my animals for an entire week while we were on vacation and she did an outstanding job! One of my dogs is seriously reactive but with patience, understanding, and love, Julie was able to win him over. My other dog is elderly and has several health problems. I feel fortunate to have found an experienced sitter in case something happens. I highly recommend Julie’s services!

Our dog Luke needs extra patience and someone who knows how to work with shy/fearful reactive dogs. Julie knew exactly what to do and was so patient and kind with him. She put my mind at ease. We will definitely use her always!

Julie was awesome with our babies. She provided constant communication and updates at every visit. We loved getting pictures and hearing how they were doing since she was the first “stranger” to ever care for them. For a last minute trip, she was a true professional and led us through our first dog sitting process. Thank you again, Julie! I would highly recommend her in the future.

A typical day

I have a huge passion for being outside in nature and I think there is no better companion for that, than a dog! Daily walks are a must, and even a field trip or 2 if mom and dad approve.

I've been doing full time pet care for about a year now, and I finally understand the phrase, "when you love what you do, you won't work a day." This has been an amazing experience and I'm so grateful for the opportunities! I also have a part time job 4 nights a week from 9pm to 12, but I can adjust the hours a little if need be.
