Professional Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

I have owned several dogs in my life ( cocker spaniels, pit bulls, and a boston terrier) and I am a lifelong student of all things dog and dog behavior. After getting burnt out in the software industry, I worked at a dog day care facility where I cared for 50-100 dogs per day. There I completed an extensive training program where I developed a comprehensive knowledge of domesticated dogs of all sizes. I understand dog body language, differences between breeds, feeding and diet regimes, cleaning/grooming basics, enrichment, and the skills needed to keep myself and the dogs safe under my care. Safety is a top priority followed by comfort and happiness - I will not let your dog get bored enough to stare out the window wondering where his or her mom or dad is. My goal is to make them feel at home.

This is the first time I have ever left my dog with someone I did not know. It was last minute and during the holidays and Julie was flexible and able to make it happen. She was great with Rocky, kept sending me pictures and really put my mind at ease. She was also very throrough with Rocky when it came to his level of care. I look forward to utilizing her services again.

Julie cared for my dog for a long weekend. Walks and snuggles and feeding and care- all great. She's a lovely human and I totally recommend her as a great dog sitter :)

Me and my dog Santa, are so lucky to have Julie for an occasional dog caregiver. When Santa is with Julie, she gets great walks, adventure, thoughtful attention and tons of love. Julie is great with dogs and I recommend her without hesitation.

Walks, naps, scratches, pets, singing (yes, I will make up silly songs and sing to them) and if approved, the dog park nearby. Happy to assist in giving them as much exercise as they need.
