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.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always care for your pup or cat as I do my own! Lots of love and positive reinforcement, and a little redirection if needed. My babies are my whole world but I still have love to share with yours!

Information Julie F. would like to know about your pet

For anyone booking my house sitting services, I will request a meet and greet to go over the finer details. I will do drop ins and walks on short notice and would love to help you if you're in a pickle.

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.

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 is wonderful! It is so nice when we are away to have peace of mind knowing that our elderly dog is being well cared for. Highly recommend!
