Pets are family! 🐶🐱🐹🐰🦔🐾❤️

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Julie and I am a long time animal lover. I grew up with cats and dogs and a variety of farm animals, and I have always loved spending time with, rescuing, and caring for creatures. I currently have 5 dogs (Floki, Emma, Garcia, Maggie, and Rex), and 6 cats (Luna, Phoebe, Toby, Mowgli, Shere Khan, and Bagheera). Pets are not “just animals” to me; they members of my family. I love all of my creatures dearly, and I will treat yours with just as much love, caring, and kindness as I would my own. I have experience giving medications and caring for sick, injured, and special needs pets also. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your fur baby, whether its going on walks, dropping by to feed and play, or house sitting while you travel. I am also open to caring for cats, small pets (such as ferrets, rabbits, etc) and even farm animals (such as chickens, goats, etc). Just let me know what your pet care needs are, and I’m sure we can work something out!

AMAZING!!! Julie is a dog whisperer... we have a dog with 'trust' issues and by the end of Julie's stay, she was ready to go home with Julie!! Can't wait to have her back to stay with our babies!

Julie is amazing! She cares for our doggies, Toby and Lovie, with so much love and attention. We know they’re in the best hands and always so excited when she comes to babysit. She truly is the BEST!

Julie is absolutely the best! She always goes the extra mile for us, and we know our fur babies and home are in fantastic hands with her care! We couldn’t ask for anyone better! We really enjoy seeing the daily photos and hearing all the updates about how everyone is doing. It is greatly appreciated. We’re so happy with Julie and can’t wait to book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

While boarding with me, your fur babies will be treated as if they are one of my own. I will do my best to ensure they are cared for in a way that is consistent with their typical routine or schedule. While house sitting, I believe in leaving spaces better than I find them. I will make sure that in addition to looking after your pets, I keep your home clean and tidy.

Information Julie G. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs - any breed is okay by me. For boarding in my home, being multi-dog and cat friendly is a must. If your dog has any favorite toys or activities, that would be great to know ahead of time. Also, any fears/phobias, dietary needs, medical concerns, or habits I should know about. Example: My Emma girl is afraid of cows and the vacuum. Floki on the other hand doesn’t mind the vacuum at all, but can be timid around dogs he is meeting for the first time. And both of them are terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. Knowing details like that will help me give your pet the best, and most stress-free experience possible.

A typical day

I live in a great neighborhood out in the country. Plenty of dirt roads to go for walks on and woods to explore. I have a wide selection of dog toys at my home, but feel free to send along your pupper’s favorite toy for playtime. I have a fenced in backyard, so there is a safe space for them to run and play without being able to run off. Outdoor play will always be supervised. If I am staying or visiting in your home, I try to stay consistent with your fur babies routine, as well as give them plenty of outside time, play time, and affection.

Availability

I currently work remotely full time, Monday-Friday. House sitting is the perfect fit for me, since I can work from anywhere and it keeps your pet in the comfort of their own home and routine. I have very limited drop-in visit availability on weekdays - typically early morning and evening. Boardings are very rarely accepted - any pet I bring into my home must be multi-dog and cat friendly. I am willing to travel up to 50 miles for house sittings (there is a small fee to cover my fuel expense). Drops in visits and walks are currently limited to Blackshear and Waycross only.
