Pet care experience
47 year old dog lover with large fenced in back yard, in Waterford, MI. I currently own a 11 year old female Lab/Pit mix (no worries, she loves people, kids & is deathly afraid of my bunny for some reason, perfectly harmless unless you are a squirrel) & a 3 yr. old male Lab/Shepard mix (both rescue dogs, spayed/ neutered with all shots up to date) they are friendly & get along well with other dogs. I also have a rabbit, fish & bird. I'd have a cat if I weren't allergic. I also have a 18 year old daughter living in the 1,245 Sq ft ranch, so someone is always home to keep an eye on the fur family. I work 9-5pm less then 1.5 miles from my home, so I normally come home at lunch if my daughter is not home during the day so my pup don't get lonely...Katie goes to work with me daily, as she gets separation anxiety. My clients love her & she looks forward to the treats they bring her, so it works out well. I like all friendly dogs, but the health of my dogs/animals & the rest of my family come first, so I would have to be sure all dogs I sit for are up to date on shots, flee free & non aggressive with other animals & kids. I've owned dogs my entire life. I do well with training, so if you do have a puppy, you can be assured I can help with housebreaking & other commands you are trying to teach. Positive, consistent reinforcement is always the best way to train, it's never failed me yet . I do foster for a local no kill shelter, so again it is very important that your pups are up to date on all their shots Hope to meet you & your fur baby soon, Julie Please do not contact me about paying cash outside of Rover. Those conversation gets flagged & causes sitters accounts to be suspended Why I love dog sitting Since forever. I grew up with dogs & have never been without one since Meet my pets 2.5 year old rabbit (Little B) he's normally in his cage when Katie is home, she is deathly afraid of him for some reason. Little B is Brew's best buddy though. I think he believes he's a dog? A 14 year old Black Headed Nanday parrot, Boots. He keep to himself & doesn't like to come out of his cage unless it's to my daughter or me About my yard Large fenced in back yard, not really sure of the size (see pics) 99.5% grass
Reviews
Our family uses Julie's services everytime we go put of town. Our dog loves to see Julie and is always well taken care of. I honestly can't say enough good things about Julie. She is the only person we trust with our little fur baby.
Our puppy Leo loved his stay with Julie over the holidays. It was great to get a few photos and updates. Made me feel better about leaving him. He was a tired puppy from playing with Julie's awesome dogs. Highly recommend her as a sitter.
I had a great first experience w/ Julie and Rover. I thought the picture updates were a great touch. I would definitely leave my dog w/ Julie and feel very comfortable using Rover again.
Great short notice sitter! My pup played with her two doggies and had a blast! Picked him up late which she was accomodating. It was dark but seemed to have plenty of backyard fenced in for them to play if they wanted to. Had a great experience.

No breed preferences, I like all dogs as long as they get along with other dogs & like human contact. I would need to know the fur friends I watch are up to date on shots & flea free to protect the health of my dogs & other dogs I may be sitting for at the time

Other than that I'm pretty much home body
