Pet care experience

Love spending time with animals

Hi I am an avid animal lover. Before I had children I was a vet technician/receptionist, Ive also worked at pet shops, dog groomers and an equine barn. My family loves animals, we have 4 dogs, 4 cats, goats, chickens and ducks! I have experience with all kinds of animals including some farm animals. I also offer basic grooming too if needed like bathing, brushing, nail trims and some clipper work(although it might not be perfect 😆) I love to walk and spend time with animals. I can take your dog to a dog park if desired or to the groomers or vet within reasonable distance. Please consider me for walking your dog, or spending time with your pets! I will travel some within reasonable distance, prefer to stay local, I'm located in Troy, MO. Please no aggressive or super timid dogs. I'm available most days and evenings and some weekends. I am also open to taking care of farm animals like chickens, horses, goats, sheep, cattle etc. I can also care for small animals and birds as well. Not a fan of snakes though. We have an underground fence for our dogs on 4 acres, our cats live indoor with the occasional sneak out. They all get fed twice a day and are well cared for. I take my dogs for walks most days. Depending on what you need I'll take your dog for a walk, on potty breaks, spend quality time with them, feed them, give them fresh water, pick up dog poop, run them to the groomers and back home, send you pictures and updates. For your cat depending on what you desire. I'll clean their litter boxes, feed them, give them fresh water, spend quality time with them, send you pics and updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately do not do in my home pet sitting as my female lab is not dog friendly. I am willing to work with you on drop in visits though, so if you need more than 1 a day I am willing to help out.

This is our 2nd time with Julie as our pet sitter and she will always be our first pick in pet care. She always finds little ways to go above and beyond what we ask. She truly loves on our cats and they adore her. I don’t worry while we are away at all, when they are under her care. You will be hard pressed to find a better sitter.

Julie went above and beyond during an emergency. She helped us tremendously. We are ever so grateful for her communication and help. We are blessed to have found her.

Julie took the upmost care of my Simba and Stormy. Based on the pictures she sent daily with their report cards, I could tell they were feeling pretty spoiled and loved on. When we got back I think one of them I was a little disappointed she wasn’t the one arriving…lol! She kept everything the way it was and cleaned up an accident from one of the cats. She went above and beyond and I did not have to worry about who was watching them while we were on vacation. She made things so stress-free back home.

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs and a run down of everything that needs to be done or administered. I am happy and willing to care for your pet.
