I will take care of your pets however you like me to! I want them to have the same routine they would normally have if you were there :)

Information Julie K. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I love playing fetch and other games with dogs! If there are any games your pet loves, let me know and I’ll make sure we play! I don’t have any specific places for walks, but I know most of the parks in the area and would love to take your dog to their favorite place. For cats, I play with them if that’s what they wish. If they just want to be left alone and fed, I respect that as an introvert

PhD Student, lover of pets

Pet care experience

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!!

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.
