Information Julie M. would like to know about your pet

How friendly they are towards strangers (do I need to be more careful or will they automatically adore me). Do they have anxiety or get stressed easily, that way I can change my approach if needed. If they require medication, do they take it easily or do I need to hide it in food or treats etc.

A typical day

I understand the importance of stimulation for dogs, especially younger ones. We can go on long walks or just play games in the house or yard. I play with my cat everyday when I get home from work, the attention and movement is very important

Pet care experience

I’ve had both my entire life. All of our animals have been rescues, the most recent additions being quite literally rescued from a bush. I no longer live with my dogs, but I was with two dogs, a cat, and 10 chickens. I dog-sit for three family members often and have decided to expand my services. One family member has one large dog who requires a lot of attention due to anxiety and 1 cat. The other family have 3 dogs ranging in different sizes and needs. And finally, for my close friend who has two very active cats. I love being with dogs and cats, whether we’re playing all day or they just wanna sit around and want a lot of petting time.

Julie made everything very easy. It was short notice and she was able to sweep in and take care of our pets while we were away for the weekend. She was on time, pleasant and always responded quickly. She updated me daily and sent pictures. Thank you Julie

Julie is has watched my high energy, anxious dog on multiple occasions and she is fantastic. She is always communicative, reliable, and has a way with pets. My dog loves her and I would definitely recommend her the next time you need someone to walk with, play with or watch your pet.
