Pet care experience
I'm a real Pet Lover, people who knows me call me " the dog whisperer". I’m so in love with animals that having the chance to spend time with dogs/cats is just a joy and a blessing. I'm a dog owner myself, my dog is very friendly, he's always happy to meet new friends and to have them with us at home. He's not territorial, he is very laidback so every sizes and ages dog are welcome. Shy dogs love Tyson because Tyson will be docile with them even though he don't look a like. He's used to be around not spayed and not neutered dog as well. We been going to dog parks regularly since he was 4 months old, so he's very social. We don't go to the dog park when we have friends over since they'll have their private dog park in our backyard. Tyson is our furry baby, we'll treat your dog the exact same way, with love, care, snuggles, kisses, treats (with your permission). I like to be fair with every single dog we have. I know how our pet are precious to us, I'm the exact same way, Tyson is my world! We all want to keep our pet safe and happy, this is what you'll have with me. We want your dog to feel like home while he’s away from home. I'm a very trustworthy, reliable person and have experiences with pets since many many years. I'm very flexible. I'll adapt myself to your pet routine without any problem. Our pets are like us, we all have our routine and we all like to keep our routine as much as possible. I will follow your instructions with pleasure. I leave in a very quiet neighborhood where people are pet friendly. I have a big fenced yard and a good inside space so the dogs can play indoor and outdoor. Our home is made for your dog to be safe and comfortable so it feel like a very comfy home where they'll have fun and relax. Please note depending on the request and during high seasons I might accept one more dog for boarding maybe 2 if they’re siblings. I also take dogs for day care usually 1 to 2 maybe 3 depending on the request I have currently. I’ll only do it when I know the dogs will get along together and I would be able to give them the attention they need. For those reason I can only accept friendly dogs. I have a dog door. Your dog can go in and out as much as they would like unless it’s muddy, I’ll control their entrance So I can clean them up before they come back in. I’ll let them out every time they ask to go out. They always have fresh water outside and inside. I work from home so I’ll be home most of the time. Although daily I’ll be out for visits, sometime grocery shopping/errands but that would mostly be it. The entire house is dog proof so they’ll be roam free while I’m away for visits or errands so they can chill comfortably on the couches and look at the window if they prefer. I always keep an eye on them while away through cameras that covers every angle in the house. I can put dogs in a separate room if needed, they usually do better all together though. I do not crate pets unless you really want me to or they’re young puppies which is for different reasons but I would prefer not. I have a fenced yard. I’m always around, if not for some reason I have cameras everywhere so I can keep an eye on them. I work from home so I’ll be home most of the time.

Reviews
We couldn’t be more grateful for Julie and Tyson! My boy is always so happy to see her, and I never wonder if he’s having a great time with her. She was super flexible with a delayed pickup at the end of our road trip. I know Mickey is looking forward to his next stay!
Julie takes great care of our two dogs!
Julie is an amazing dog sitter. She makes coordinating dropoff and pickup so easy and sends lots of pictures and videos. My dog is spoiled with attention and loves staying at Julie’s!
Julie is an amazing dog sitter. Communication is great and the pictures show my dog feels “at home” during his stay.

Information Julie J. would like to know about your pet
I will need the feeding instructions, medication instructions if needed. Commands if different of “come,seat,down,wait,go potty, leave it, drop it, gentle, be nice, no bite” to make sure I speak the same language as your know know. Feel free to give me their routine information so I can keep up with it. Allergies… Anything else I need to know for them to have the best stay with us so they can feel like home away from home or even being in vacation themselves. For long stay, and even shorter feel free to bring everything I would need to take care of their hygiene (teeth, ears, nails…)
A typical day
Morning walks if needed, all day long they can enjoy the fenced backyard as much as they want unless it&/ wet it will be a little more restricted. We have natural shade in the afternoon so your dog can stay cool during our hot summers. During cold weather when the sun is out, we always have hours of sun in the backyard.
