Information JULIE S. would like to know about your pet

I do have experience with dog-reactive dogs, and can manage keeping them away from other pups if needed. I have experience with giving medications and senior animals.

A typical day

I love getting outside for long walks or hikes with your pup, playing games, giving love to kitties, and can even do some dog training/tricks!

Pet care experience

I'd love to give your pets the royal treatment while you are away! I have had dogs (and cats) all my life, and have cared for many breeds of all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I have also volunteered with a local animal shelter, spending several hours a week caring for sweet pets looking for homes. I dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors, and have recommendations if needed!

Julie was fantastic with our pups! She helped us out when we were traveling in Durango and needed a sitter for a couple days when we would be gone. She was flexible with us and times needed and the pups were well taken care of!

We met Julie before our trip and immediately felt great about having her stay with our pets. She is very kind and took the time to understand the pets' needs by asking questions about the stay, etc. She took excellent care of Pearl and Poppyseed, and our house! She sent us several updates while we were gone and left us a thoughtful note when she left. The animals were well cared for and she went the extra mile for them. We would definitely hire Julie to stay with our pets again. Thank you Julie!

Julie was an exceptional cat sitter and house sitter, she went above and beyond to send pictures and play with with Ziggy. Our cat is over 15 years old and she made sure he felt comfortable and got lots of pets. I would highly recommend Julie and we'll be sure to book with her next time we go out of town and have to leave our much loved pet.

Julie is amazing with all animals. She will not only take care of your pet exactly to your instructions, she will love your pet as if it was her own. She has lovingly cared for special needs and older dogs that required lots of specific care, and she even took in a hurt baby squirrel and nursed it back to health before bringing it to a wildlife rescue organization. She volunteers at Petsmart, providing care and cleaning the cages of the adoptable cats there. I would trust Julie with any pet as much as I would trust myself!
