Pet care experience
I have been involved in animal rescue since 2016. I have had a handful of foster dogs all with behavioral issues so nothing is too difficult for me to have in my home. I have since had about 300 foster animals not including the farm animals we have rescued over the years. I love all animals and will never not help an animal in need. I used to have a dog walking service from the ages 10-12 and also used to watch everyone’s pet sun the neighborhood while they were on vacation. I then worked at a shelter. That got me into my interest in fostering. I have dabbled in dog training but have never done it professionally only with my personal dogs , foster dogs and friends dogs, until now ! I started my own training business at Sit Happens K9 Academy. I can provide assistance with training if needed as well. We have 4 dogs of our own , cats , goats. , chickens , ducks , rabbits etc. Everyone is able to be separated if need be. As stated above all animals are welcome . We love them all and hope to see your pets soon !
Reviews
Julie is wonderful. And takes great care of our 4 cats. Highly recommend.
This sitter was great, I highly recommend using her. I know I will be using her as much as I can. Thank you again!
Julie does a great job with our dog Kira! She is prompt and caring. Highly recommend her.
Julie was great. She sent pictures along with each visit. Turned out our travel plans changed last minute and she was very flexible working with us.

I have one client who I do in home dog sitting for for nearly 7 years now. Her dogs do not do well with cats but that is okay as I am able to have them separated. I have 5 dogs not all are good with other dogs and every dog is different. The way my home is set up is I am able to have dogs outside in a roofed kennel run , out on a lead, or on a fence system whatever the owner prefers. I am able to have the dogs away in a separate room of my house if they do not get along with other animals or prefer to be alone. I also have a number of crates if anybody needs to be crate rotated. Basically if the owner doesn’t want their dog to have contact with other animals for whatever reason , I am able to have them separated. Same thing with cats. I have a spare bedroom that is actually set up for my foster cats. It has their furniture , litter boxes , food , water , and crates if they need to be crated, both large and multilevel. I have dealt with pretty much any type of accommodation for any type of animal. I do have my dog training business and have seen just about every single behavioral issue you can think of as well.

If it is an in home boarding situation we have a HUGE yard and plenty of walking trails around. My personal dogs love to play fetch, hike , play with eachother and jus have the zoomies around the yard . It is whatever the doggy is into .
