Pet care experience

Love dogs and cats of all sizes!

Hi there! I am a lifelong dog lover, and have always had a dog of my own in my life! I currently only have a cat, so I am particularly happy to spend time with your dogs! I have also spent lots of time walking and sitting other dogs, and have cared for a wide range of ages and sizes of dogs, from a St Bernard mix to a Havanese puppy. My last dog was an elderly, temperamental rescue dog, so I am acutely familiar with the extra love, support, care, and medication that elderly dogs require. I have a strong personality, and while I have never met a dog that I can't become best friends with, I am confident and in charge, and comfortable correcting bad behaviors if you need me to. While with your dog, I will love it and care for it like my own! I am available throughout the Norwood/Dedham area.

Julie was really great!! She def knows cats!! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. She was able to give my cat medications and his inhaler as he has asthma. Was really great about following all instructions and had great photos to share. So happy with her care and would def use her again.

Julie has been so wonderful walking our puppy, Chloe! She made short-notice arrangements with us for a meet & greet, and I noticed right away that has a very natural energy around dogs. She sends detailed updates and lots of pics! Chloe responds to her so well, and we feel so lucky to have found Julie. We will definitely book with her again!

Thank you for everything you have done for your cats over the last year and a half, Julie! We have never been anything but completely satisfied with the gentle and loving care you provide for our cats when we travel. If we were not moving out of state, we would continue to use your services into the future. I highly recommend you and your services!

Let me know if your dog has any medical needs or behavioral issues. While I’m comfortable working with dogs who are special needs, I do need to know them ahead of time!
