I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, and horses are my specialty. I also have trained horses and dogs, and have a lot of experience with older pets. I understand how important patience and compassion are to their journey.

Doggy Day Care • jun. 17, 2026

Julie was very friendly and easy to work with setting up the stay for our two Bernese MTN dogs. Teddy and Bear were very happy and must have had a good time while there. Both fell fast asleep on our trip back home. Would definitely recommend Julie.

Julie did a great job with my pup! She had no problem administering his medication and was sure to send me updates. I will definitely be booking her again for future travel.

Doggy Day Care • jan. 11, 2026

Julie watched our dog while we visited Williamsburg. Our dog is a ‘Velcro’ dog and I wasn’t sure how he’d separate from us. I was delighted to find him running excitedly towards Julie’s front door each morning. He enjoyed running in her large fenced in yard and resting in her designated doggie room/den. Julie was attentive, flexible with our schedule and kind. I would definitely recommend her services.

It was difficult for me to leave my dog behind, but Julie sent me a reassuring message the same day and a picture, and I felt much better. Grishko can be a bit of a handful, but Julie managed him very well. Thanks a bunch!

House Sitting • dec. 28, 2025

Julie was great! She came over twice to see Lola before her stay,and was very flexible about Lola’s schedule. Additionally, her home is great and the huge backyard is totally fenced. Our home was kept clean and we got photos of Lola showing how comfortable she was! Since she is a Great Dane, finding someone who is open to staying at our house or having Lola at hers is great 😊

Schedule

Pet care is my passion! I am always around as I recently retired. My 2 big dogs passed away in the past year after living very full lives. I love walking dogs, taking care of animals and helping people.

Is there anything specific that your dog does not like? For example my dog did not like when strangers put their face close to his! And one of my cats is so prissy, she only likes to be patted when SHE feels like it!
