Stay-at-Home Mom Petcare!

Hello Rover friends! I just recently lost my dog of 14 years. He was my best friend. My home feels so empty without a dog around, but I'm not ready for a new puppy so here I am back on Rover after a 5 year break. I am a stay-at-home Mom to two school-aged kiddos with a passion for animals, an active lifestyle, and a desire to help others. I have full time availability to keep an eye on your fur baby, take them on walks, and play fetch in the backyard. My experience comes from raising my current pet family: Charlie, 8 year old domestic long hair indoor/outdoor rescue cat and Tucker, was a 14-year old German Shepherd mix (RIP 💔). I also provided services on Rover from 2018-2020 and served many clients who all wrote wonderful reviews. I am easy to get a hold of, love to provide pictures/updates throughout the visit, and flexible on scheduling/cancellations. I'll treat your fur baby like my own!

Julie and the family are amazing. I left Harlee for 2 weeks and I never worry. They are involved and care for her as their own. She is definitely gets spoiled. Julie gives me updates frequently and Harlee seems very happy. Always playing or getting loved on. I was hoping.They are just amazing people!!!!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 25, 2026

Julie kept me updated with messages and photos, which I loved—it made me feel like I was still connected and knew she was doing okay. You can tell the entire family genuinely care and pay attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Harlee my dog loves each and every one of them. They truly treat her as part of their family and makes us feel comfortable and at ease leaving her. Most importantly Harlee loves and enjoys her stays.

Schedule

I have two school aged children that I drive to school at 8:30am and pick up around 2pm. We also have various sporting activities that we attend throughout the week as well as church on Sunday morning. Other than that, I am at home the remainder of the day and fully available for potty breaks, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard, but dogs are primarily kept inside the house unless we are on a walk, playing in the backyard, or out on an adventure. Dogs have access to multiple dog beds, unlimited water, and can be on furniture.

Pets

A typical day

We will go on daily walks, throw the ball in our backyard, or they can join my kids and I on a trip to the park or nature park. We are an active family who loves to bring dogs along on our adventures.

I will accept any and all dog breeds, as long as I am physically capable! If you have an extra large dog, my hope is that they are decent walkers so that I am the one walking them...not the other way around : )
