Pet care experience

PhD Student, lover of pets

I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, from miniature dachshunds to Great Pyrenees. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from raising several dogs from puppy to senior (up to 14 years of age). I have never met a dog that didn’t love my belly rubs! Are you a student? Shoot me a message for my student rates! I know how tight things can get, and we still gotta take care of our furry ones. I can accommodate almost anything so your pets get great care that fits your budget!!

We had a last minute need for a dog sitter, and Julie quickly set up a meet and greet and did a great job taking care of our two dogs in our home for two nights! One of our dogs is skeptical with strangers but she was great with him and he warmed up to her. She also shared pictures and updates during our trip! Thanks Julie! 😊

Julie took great care of our 2 pups while we were out of town. Knowing that our pups are being cared for provides great peace of mind. I highly recommended her services.

Was always quick to respond and very flexible with her time/availability. Did a meet'n greet beforehand and during the stay I received daily check-ins with photos. Incredibly nice and genuine person to watch your fur-family, definitely recommend.

She was very communicative and prompt to respond whenever I reached out. My shy kitty even ended up loving and trusting her! She was luckily able to stay an extra night when my flight got delayed overnight. Overall she was wonderful!

Julie is so sweet and caring. I have a senior dog and I’m very anxious about him since he’s dealing with sundowning. Julie took the time to visit him the day before her stay to understand his quirks and how to handle him if he starts to get anxious during her stay. Mind you, she already met us but since our first visit, he started to show severe signs of dementia. This made me feel so much relief knowing she’s attentive and understanding. I felt so much better knowing he was in good hands 😊

Julie did so good with all my girls. She was very sweet to them and sent lots of pictures and videos while I was away. She always replied in a timely manner as well.

Let me know if your pet has any specific needs that I need to accommodate and meet. Also, if there are any special treats they like or routines they have. It is so important to me to make sure your pet keeps their routine while you are gone!
