Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to come to your place or welcome well-behaved pets in my house. I can easily separate my critters if there are any concerns. I feel most pets are most comfortable in their own environment; I am flexible with what works best for you.

Information Julie P. would like to know about your pet

I have a special place in my heart for geriatrics and pets with medical needs. I'm a very nurturing person, so please let me know what special needs your pets may have.

A typical day

Who knows pets better than their human parents? I would love to hear about favorite toys, activities and all the recommendations you have to keep your pets as comfy and happy as possible in your absence. Maybe me and your pets will discover a new favorite activity together!

Pet care experience

I have worked with almost every kind of animal in both private practice, rescue and research. My many years of working in the veterinary field has given me the skills needed to care for many species from newborn to seniors. I can provide medical treatments and have taken classes in behavior training. I'll take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own and thoroughly enjoy doing it.

Julie was great with our 2 cats! Took great care of them and even got along with our more shy cat. Made sure they were fed, brushed, and litter robots were working!

Julie was great with Nighttime, playing with him and making sure he did not feel alone during his time i was away. She sent photos every day and was very pro-active with sending updates about him every day!

Julie did a great job with Cooper, Stella, and Moxie. She sent lots of cute pictures, and I could tell she took care to make sure everyone was safe (mostly meaning that my naughty dog couldn’t go counter surfing when she wasn’t watching). She was also helpful in making sure one of my senior kitties got her daily medicine.

Julie did a fantastic job with our three cats. She got the shy one to warm up to her, and gave each of them a lot of attention. She was fast to respond and gave detailed cards which I appreciated. Very trustworthy and caring.
