About Julie M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In someone's home it's the pets routine, care that's paramount. A meet and greet and emergency numbers are all I need. I can ask all the questions I need to as you can too at a meet up prior where possible
Information Julie M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any behavioural issues that I need to be aware of. Where they like to sleep, their feeding pattern, any favourite toys or things that they love to do . How they behave on a lead, around other dogs.
A typical day
Morning walks and exploring and home for a treat and snuggles. Wash all pet bowls and prepare meals for the pets. I like to teach new games such as find the toy or digging on the beach, lots of praise for doing the right thing. And lots of talking to them, not that they answer but they usually understand. I like to go on new walks to let dogs have new smells and see new things as well as their usual walks. Belly rubs and back scratches in abundance. Afternoon and evening walks , playing in the garden, balls and squeakiest.

Pet care experience
I am a mum to 2 dogs 1 cat . 2 were rescued and 1 was adopted. All my pets live with with their human Dad in West Africa. I spend UK Winters there with them all. Puppy Jules is 4 and was found by local fisherman in a state, mango worms, fleas, ticks you name it , she's a wonderful happy healthy dog now. Ava the cat I found at the local market, she was so small, dirty and hungry, she's grown up to be the best hunter I've seen. The last family member is Molly she was a hotels family pet, the owners moved back to UK and approached us to take her in. We did and we love her, its as if she has always been with us. I've had animals most of my life. I don't have any in UK because it would be unfair to leave them for 6 months, I miss caring for them , walking them, talking to them, in fact everything about them. Animals make me happy.

Reviews
Another wonderful dog sitting service from Julie, Larkin is always so happy when she comes and we get regular updates and videos so we never have to worry about him. She takes good care of all his needs and makes sure that he sticks with his routine. Always a delight to have her in our home and we don't feel like she's a stranger! Thanks Julie.
Evvie had a lovely day today. Playing in her pool and relaxing under the trees. It was like a little retreat day with Julie xxxx
Julie cared for Winston for a full day in our home. This was after a prior meet and greet where she came and met Winston and already started to build a bond. Julie sent us regular updates throughout the day, with photos and videos, which was really lovely to see while we were out! He was clearly very happy, comfortable and well cared for. We appreciated that she took into account and accommodated his specific needs and routine. She also very kindly stayed later than planned when we got stuck in traffic on the way home, and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. I wouldn't hesitate to have Julie care for Winston again. Her passion for animals shines through and she's a very thoughtful, compassionate individual.
Julie is just so amazing and attentive to Larkin. It was so clear to see that Larkin adores her and that they bonded from the get-go, it was beautiful to witness! She was incredibly caring and nurturing, giving him massages, taking him on lots of walks and attending to his every need. She sent us regularly updates on his day and what he was up to so we never had to worry. After having had a really bad experience earlier this year, we're feeling so relieved and happy with our choice to have Julie come and sit Larkin. She's such a wonderful spirit and full of positive energy for Larkin and us too! Very very happy! Thank you Julie!
