Former Vet Tech w/ fenced yard!

Pet care experience

I am a caring animal lover who enjoys pet sitting. I spent 17+ years working as a veterinary technician but I have now switched to financial services to have a much better work/life balance. I used to petsit because I needed to supplement my income, now I do it because I miss working with animals so much! We are a military family and returned to the area from a couple years in San Diego the end of 2019 where I welcomed pet sitting as well. We have one dog- a happy black lab who loves to play, and one cat who is very interested in dogs, and likes to play with most. Our children have been raised around dogs, cats, and kittens/puppies, as I have done a lot of fostering and caring for a variety of animals through my job and volunteer positions. As confident as I am in how well they are with pets, I never leave them unsupervised. I especially love caring for senior pets, I feel they should have a warm bed and/or couch to nap on rather than stay in a kennel. I have a lot of experience with various medical conditions to help keep your mind at ease while you are away.

My dog had a wonderful time and I was thankful to find a sitter on such short notice that was very flexible with my hours and very communicative.

Julie was great. She took awesome care of our 10 year old doodle, and even watched him for an extra day when we had to extend our trip. Would reccomend.

I have a fully fenced in yard and a moderately active dog to keep your pup(s) company. I am able to crate your dog if needed. We also have a gated dog room (technically the formal dining/sitting room) for when we step out of the house. This way the dogs have room to lounge or play, but still cant get into trouble (my dog is a counter surfer)! It is complete with different types of dog beds, a recliner, and various toys.

I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home on my lunch break. This way the dogs get to enjoy some outdoor playtime! My husband works from home when he isn't traveling, the dogs always love him. He doesn't have flexibility to do hands on play time but always gives them potty breaks when needed.
