This should really be at least 10 stars. Julie is a true professional. She clearly loves animals and orivided such loving care. Iline if the most difficult things anout my recent move to California was finding care for the cats when we travel. Pip especially needs extra TLC and must be medicated daily. Julie quickly got through the business of the day and spent some quality time each day with the “kids.” Couldn’t be happier!

Lycan absolutely adores Julie and looks forward to the visits! She is like the Mary poppins of dogs, going above and beyond to make sure he is taken care of and loved as if he is her own. She even brought in my package for me while I was at work (70lb new table!). I feel so beyond blessed to have found her to watch my baby and know he is in excellent hands anytime she comes over.

Another great day with Julie! Our boi is always so relaxed and ready to sleep after a long day of play. Julie always takes great care to update us with great pictures of her own dogs and any new friends having fun with Chili! Will come back often!

I'm pretty confident in anything a dog can throw at me. Just ask. Medications, behaviors, special needs. If I can do it, I will. They will be safe with me. CATS RULE TOO!
