Highlights
Pet care experience
Love all pets like they're my own!
I've been a full-time pet caretaker since January 2024, and had a lifetime of love and care for animals before that. I've cared for 5+ senior dogs, including those in their twilight days. This includes thorough cleaning, using diapers, pee pads, and going outside in the most gentle and comforting fashion. I've had my Dog, Honey, since January 2021. She is my moon and my stars ✨ I have experience training her with manners and reactivity, as well as potty training. I have experience helping train a very human-reactive dog, and I've worked with lots of dog-reactive dogs over the year. I believe in a loving, safe, happy environment for dogs. Taking care of your fuzzy friends brings me so much joy 💖😊

Safety, trust & environment
I will absolutely keep them leashed at all times, except in designated areas and circumstances that are okayed by the pet parents. I have experience walking dogs who can get leash reactive, and I always ensure that we leave the situation as quickly as possible. In our home, we're very used to not leaving chewable items out.
Ratings and reviews
Julie dropped in while we were out for the day, and was great. She was communicative, professional, attentive to our dog’s specific needs and provided great photos!
Zipper says, always glad to see Julie!
This was the second time Julie watched my cat Nani, and she was just as amazing as before. She’s easy to communicate with before and during. I came home to a very happy cat! Also, the photos she sends are so good :)
Julie was amazing! She sent great updates and beautiful (and sometimes hilarious) photos of my cat each visit. She was easy to coordinate with before and during.
Julie did a fantastic job with our two kitties Kara and Theo! Kara is very shy, but warmed up to Julie very quickly over the course of a long weekend. Julie was prompt and communicative and we will definitely be asking her to help out in the future!
Julie is an attentive and responsive cat sitter. When we come home our cats are clearly cared for and loved.

Schedule
I'm only accepting services within 15 minutes from Jamaica Plain! Since I'm a full-time pet caretaker, I can take walks and drop-ins before 9 and after 4 on weekdays, and any time on weekends. I'm available for sittings in your home - weekend sittings are best, but if you don't need much 9-4 on weekdays, that could work.
