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 10+ 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. 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 provided our dog with professional drop-in care. She was communicative and punctual. Would definitely hire again!

Great dog walker! My pup had a great time with Julie and she took amazing photos too 🤩

Julie is an incredible sitter - our favorite Rover experience we've ever had! She house/dog sat for us for 4 days and provided very frequent and descriptive feedback each visit and took such fantastic care of our pups. She went above and beyond in helping us deal with a traumatic incident that occurred prior to the sitting. She also had to clean up a poop explosion (sorry!!) and then provided poop reviews for the rest of her stay, something I very much appreciated as a worrier dog mom. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Also her photos were wonderful. Thank you a million Julie, we will be in touch again soon!


Julie was a fantastic and reliable caregiver for our senior dog. Very communicative, loving, and expert. Highly recommend!

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!
