Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with a ramp off the deck, and a ramp to the side door through the garage for dogs with arthritis.

Information Julie R. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I will stick to whatever routine that you state as your instructions! If I am babysitting at my house, your pup will have a ball exploring the back yard and going on walks around my neighborhood!

Pet care experience

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.

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.

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.

Julie was professional and knowledgeable about dogs. She was confident and handled the Husky well.

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!
