Bring me your Couch Potatoes!

Pet care experience

I have an immense love and compassion for animals and have had many in my lifetime! Dogs, cats, rabbits and horses have all played an important part in my life. I grew up with a Basset Hound and cat but the last 20 years, I’ve had just Pugs and horses. I also enjoy time spent with my “Grand-doggies”…two mixed breed rescues whom I love very much! My two Pugs lived long, spoiled and happy lives but have since passed, so your pet will receive my undivided attention! I love seniors and will go the extra mile to make them comfortable, including administering oral meds if needed.

Julie took great care of our little Shih tzu, Abe, while we were out of town for our son’s wedding. She sent daily pictures of him along with updates about how he was doing! She had toys for him and took him outside in her yard and for little walks. He adjusted well to her and her home and had a nice little vacation! It is clearly evident that she loves dogs ! We will certainly have Julie care for Abe again in the future.

This is the third time Julie has watched our corgi and she was amazing as always.

Julie is such a wonderful doggie sitter! She took excellent care of our little corgi. She made him feel right at home. So attentive and loved all the updated pics and videos she shared throughout!

This was our second timing having Julie watch our dog. She is fantastic to work with and obviously loves dogs. She pays attention to all of the little details to make sure megatron is happy and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a clean, safe environment and presently have no other animals or children in my home. My backyard is partially fenced and your pet will never be outside alone. For their safety, they will be on a leash or a tie-out at all times. I like to spend time outside on nice days and my yard is spacious with a large patio for your dog to bask in the sunshine if they like that! Short walks can also be provided. Indoors, they will have free range of the main level of my home. I have a carpeted basement with room for playing fetch or “zoomie time”, if the weather does not permit outdoor exercise. At night they may sleep wherever most comfortable for them, whether it be crate or bed. I am most comfortable with small and medium size dogs and have an extreme love of anything with wrinkles and pudge! Bring me your Pugs, Bassets, Bulldogs, small Bully breeds, etc. and I will be in heaven! I do love all others as well, so don’t let those preferences deter you, however I wish them to be under 35 lbs., well behaved and potty trained. I am accepting one dog at a time but will accept two if they are from the same household/family and get along well. Side note: I am a Certified Reiki Master Practitioner, trained in Animal Reiki as well. If your pet experiences pain, nervousness or anxiety issues, Reiki can help with that. To learn more, search Reiki on the AKC website and if interested, I would be happy to give your pet a complimentary Reiki session during their stay. It is non-invasive, very relaxing for them and most animals really love it!

Information Julie H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dogs age, breed, weight and temperament. I also would like to know if your dog has any special needs or unusual behaviors, and their basic routine. I also require that your pet be up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. Although I have the following, feel free to bring their favorite toy, blanket, bed, etc., to make their stay more comfortable.

A typical day

Whatever your dogs typical day is, I will try to duplicate as much as possible! Outside play combined with inside play, short walks, and however much rest and relaxation they’re used to. Special treats may given with Mom or Dad’s approval!!
