Pet care experience
I specialize in small breeds., but I have watched many breeds from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls. I worked at VCA Animal Hospital for 6 months to see if I wanted to pursue a career in that field, and in that time saw a lot of things and learned a lot but chose a different path. I rescue and volunteer for a local rescue in San Antonio called Texas Chihuahua Rescue. Gypsy, my former dog, is no longer with me as of April 2019 but her spirit will live forever. I can't bring myself to delete her from my profile so there are no other dogs with me currently. My daycare clients say their dogs are exercised and tired when they pick them up and they like that. They feel like they are dropping their dog off with a friend. I put my clients at ease with frequent communication and updates. I address my customer's concerns immediately when they have any. Dogs love that I am very attentive to their needs and wants. They have my attention when they are in my home. It comes naturally.

Julie has watched my chihuahua for years and has did a super job. The last few years my chihuahua has lost her sight, so we’re had to take her with us and just stay at home. Julie agreed to watch her so we make a Christmas trip to Florida. Again she did a super job and made it possible for us to make our trip. She’s the only one I would trust my blind Chihuahua with.
Julie is the absolute best! She instantly put me at ease when I met her and I knew that Hurley would be loved and cared while I was gone. She was in constant contact with pictures and messages during the entire ten days that Hurley was with her. She even washed all of his bedding and blankets before I picked him up! Hurley was exhausted and happy when I picked him up. Thank you Julie!!
Julie was amazing. We needed someone at the last minute to keep our two little Maltese. She was available at the last minute but still very thorough and wanted to get to know them. She asked us lots of questions and let us know how they would be cared for. While we were away she sent us photos each day. It felt like she loved and appreciated them just like our family does. Having someone this loving towards our dogs put our mind at ease and allowed us to enjoy our weekend away. I’ll be rebooking very soon.
Julie walked my dogs mid-day. My little min-pin fell in love with her at first sight in a way I’ve never seen her do with others. No treats involved, Lizzie just lived her. She texted me photos during the walk which I appreciated.

I have a fenced yard and a doggy door. I work from home and can walk your dog daily weather permitting. I have an indoor/outdoor cat that leaves during dog stays.

Information Julie M. would like to know about your pet
I am very flexible and accommodating; just let me know what you and your dog need and I will do my very best! Before I take on a new client I like to know about their routines, medical needs, socialization, trainings, anxieties, exercise needs, and anything else you think I should know! Unfortunately, I do not accept puppies under one year of age due to destruction and the extra clean up that is involved.
A typical day
I love to play fetch if your dog likes that. We can walk the neighborhood daily. Sometimes I take them to a nearby park. My backyard is big and they can run and play until their hearts are content!
