Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced walker & dog lover
Each dog is different so I adapt to what the dog needs each time I look after them; a longer walk, some cuddles on the sofa before leaving them, some work on basic skills. The most important thing is the welfare and happiness of the dogs, followed by as many pictures and updates as you would like. I've worked with dogs of a range of breeds and sizes, previously volunteering at a dog shelter I am comfortable with slightly more difficult dogs. I have a playful nature and love to take out dogs who like to play fetch or tug-of-war. We have always had dogs in our lives and had our eldest pooch for 11yrs. I'm often walking and looking after friends and families pets and have a love for all dogs. Although I generally do walks and drop-ins, I can board dogs on request. At home we have open living room and access to kitchen and enclosed garden with grass. Water provided in all room and dogs are allowed to come onto the sofa for cuddles. There are two of us at home most days and we have a friendly dog ourselves. We generally do one long walk in the morning, a play in the park at lunch and/or a training session/walk in the evening.

Ratings and reviews
Julie was an absolute life saver! Our pups also had a great time ❤️
Julie has been fantastic, super prompt and incredibly reliable. Bonnie gives her a very enthusiastic welcome when she comes to the door and that tells me everything I need to know!
Thank you again Julie for looking after Lanei. I know she has been well looked after and I’ll be in touch when I need you next
My cat, Lanei, was in very safe hands. I appreciated the daily updates and photos and will definitely be asking Julie to look after Lanei in the future. Thank you Julie - I’ve returned home to a happy and healthy cat
Julie was great. Arrived ahead of the scheduled time, talked through all our puppy’s requirements and gave us some great updates and photos. Winston seemed to have had a great time. Will definitely use Julie again.
Julie is a very reliable sitter, very quick to respond and was great with our dogs from first meeting. Nothing seemed like too much trouble and our dogs warmed to her instantly from the first meet and greet. We have already rebooked for more doggy sitting, thanks again!

Schedule
I work a shift pattern job so able to work walks and drop-in visits around my shifts. My dog loving partner works from home so between us we can cover most requirements for different dogs schedules.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home we have a contained garden, access to water in all rooms and a spare crate if required. Dogs are allowed on any of the multiple dog beds around the house or onto the sofa for a cuddle. We have a friendly dog to keep others company, she is nearly 3, loves to play and have a cuddle.
Pets
A typical day
We do long walks around the local fields or woods in the morning, playing with balls and other dogs in the park at lunch and after work, and playing/training with toys in the house in between. Most days will consist of two walks (one long one short) but this can depend on weather and schedules. I also do feeding with enhancement for my dog and learning tricks/training for small treats or their dinner. Happy to do this with other dogs but will ask for permission first.
