Availability
I work full-time, but my schedule is flexible enough to give your dog the attention and care they deserve throughout the day which is perfect for pups who need companionship, feeding, playtime, and walks during those times. If your dog is comfortable being at the office during typical work hours, I make sure they’re well-exercised, settled, and content and I’m always available for dinner, cuddles, and walks. For dogs that need extra attention or have specific needs, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works for everyone. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Loving, trustworthy, and committed—I’m here to help make your dog’s day (and yours) a little easier. At the weekends your fur babies will have my undivided attention.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fully enclosed, high-fenced back garden—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and fresh air without any risk of escape. The garden is secure, well-maintained, and ideal for both active dogs and those who just like to lounge in the sun. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for your pup to relax and feel at home. Whether your dog loves to curl up in a quiet corner or explore a new environment, they’ll feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I have 2 whippets of my own who are fun loving and love to play. Your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa but can crated if required. If they sleep on the sofa during the night I have a camera that I can check in on them rather than disturb their sleep.

A typical day
A Typical Fun Day With Me 🐕🎾 A day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, active, and loved—just like they are at home. We start the day with a good morning cuddle and a nice walk to stretch those legs and sniff the neighborhood. After breakfast, it’s time for some play—whether your dog loves chasing a ball, tug-of-war, or simply exploring the garden, I make sure they’re engaged and having fun. Throughout the day, your pup can relax in my dog-friendly home/office or spend time enjoying the secure, enclosed garden for fresh air and sunshine. I follow your dog’s usual routine—meal times, toilet breaks, naps, and even medication, if needed. In the evening, we wind down with a relaxing walk and plenty of cuddle time. I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how happy and settled your dog is. Every dog in my care is treated like family, with all the love, patience, and attention they deserve.

Pet care experience
About Me – Your Pup’s New Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I’m Julie, and I’m passionate about giving dogs the same love, care, and attention they get at home—if not more! With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves personalised care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the park, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to a specific routine, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and great at following special instructions—whether it’s administering medication, managing specific diets, or handling anxious pups with patience and kindness. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be loved like family. I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, I’m the sitter for you!
Reviews
Julie is great! She was so good with our slightly nervous little pup. He didn’t want to leave by the end of the day. Will definitly use her again
Our Penelope had an absolutely wonderful time with Julie! She’s a rather particular little sighthound, and over the years we’ve found it tricky to find the right person to care for her. From the moment we met Julie, our worries melted away, it was clear she truly understands and loves the breed. We couldn’t be happier, and we’ll definitely be booking again.
Julie absolutely saved the day when we had a last minute emergency and needed to find a dog sitter at short notice. She could not have been more helpful and calm in our moment of need and took incredible care of our beloved Nimlet, providing lots of thoughtful reports throughout her stay. Julie is an incredibly lovely lady and her knowledge of doggie needs is wonderful. She was very patient, very kind and extremely sensitive to Nimlet's stress of being away from home and separation anxiety. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I cannot recommend Julie highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that they had a genuine love for animals and a calm, caring presence that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. Throughout the time she looked after Pebbles, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that reassured me my pup was in excellent hands. Pebbles absolutely adored her and came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will go above and beyond, look no further than Julie . She is a gem!
