Pet care experience

Lots of love and personal care!

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have two dogs and three birds of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets—they’re family! If you need boarding care, my home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and feel at ease. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy setting, I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved and that they feel right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and safe. On walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. During sitting or boarding, I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and favorite activities. I’m also available on weekends and holidays, making it easy to count on reliable care when you need it most. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel connected while you’re away.

Julie was amazingly patient and creative with our girl, Chloe, whom we've never left with anyone other than trusted family in the 6 years we've had her. Julie came for an intro, went on a walk, learned Chloe's "tricks" (along with her fears!) and listened to all our concerns. Chloe did GREAT, and welcomed Julie with a wagging tail by day 2!

Julie provided excellent care for our two corgis! She sent lots of photo and video updates and our dogs were having a great time with her. She even placed a cute welcome sign upon arrival, which was a sweet and thoughtful touch. We are so glad we found Julie and it’s nice to have peace of mind that our dogs are being not only cared for but well loved!

We’re so happy to have Julie as our go-to doggie sitter for Ollie, our deaf and vision-impaired Cockapoo! Julie treated Ollie like he was her own, and she was so thoughtful, accommodating, and kept us in the loop with adorable videos and pictures. We’re also so glad that Ollie enjoyed being around her other dogs, Freddie and Teddy! Julie is just one of the warmest and most welcoming people my wife and I have ever met. Thank you, Julie!

Thank you so much for another wonderful stay for Charlie! I appreciate so much all of the updates, pictures and videos and was so happy he was getting along with other dogs and neighbors. I know he really enjoyed all of the love and walks you gave him. Thank you again!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment wherever I care for pets. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive on walks, always using secure leashing and staying aware of surroundings, and in the home I make sure pets are supervised, safe, and stress-free.

Pets

A typical day

My day always starts with the dogs first. Going out for a quick walk in the am then breakfast followed by a walk in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day (every few hours) lots of activity ball, toy play time. Evenings we do dinner then I take them for a long walk before we end our day together.

I always follow a routine - dogs love to feel safe by having a regular routine, that could be as simple as a favorite toy or how they like to take walks and what time of day. I like to make sure any of the pets I care for have all of those special things they love to do with you.
