Safety, trust & environment
Through my years of caring for numerous cats and dogs, I am very conscientious around "escape-ees" (I currently have one) and ensuring that our fur babies are safely kept in the home as I enter. I am respectful of routines and will follow them exactly as described. Also, I will send unprompted, candid video and picture messages of your pet to you frequently during care. This adds to peace of mind and who doesn't love a good random picture of their pet showing up in their messages??
Information Julie L. would like to know about your pet
It's important to let me know of any medical or behavioral conditions as part of our initial conversation. I have experience administering pills and eye/ear drops but do not feel comfortable giving injections.
A typical day
For drop-in services, I take a 3 step approach. 1. After I greet your pet, I do a quick walk around to ensure there are no accidents. If there are, I will follow your instructions on clean-up. 2. Refresh water/food daily based on your instructions. 3. Play or pets! Based on your pet's energy level and in alignment with your wishes, I will either play a quick game of catch, tug of war, or simply sit with them for a few minutes, giving them pets and love.

Pet care experience
I have had pets all my life. From the hamster in the 80s, turtle in the 90s, and a number of cats and dogs throughout my adult life (as well as a cockatiel), I have always had an amazing connection to animals. I currently have one small rescue dog (Terrier mix) who is about 12. I am routinely the one who will feed, water and walk pets belonging to family and friends. Be it cats or dogs, I will treat your pet with the same love and conscientious care as I do my own fur baby. A little about me...I'm an HR Professional who has worked in Human Resources for over 20 years now. I love the human side of what I do, and thought that having a 'side gig' using those skills of connection and empathy, along with what I have learned over years of caring for my own animals would be a natural fit! I am also a mom of two amazing teenagers and am a recreational runner. Currently, I am available part time for morning and evening walks, and drop-ins for feeding, watering and play for vacations or other situations.

Reviews
Julie is such a conscientious sitter. She is thorough and dependable, often spending extra time giving our pets lots of TLC; an absolute five-star sitter. We don't trust our fur babies with anyone else!
