I work from home so am flexible to play and walk pets throughout the day based on their needs. My husband also works from home and often jumps in to help if I'm unavailable.

Information Julie S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs that I should account for, I believe each one’s personality is special and will adjust accordingly.

A typical day

Lots of walks, snuggles and fun! Unique to each dog’s needs and personality. I also welcome the chance to play if your dog/cat likes to.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of animals since my teenage years, and have been boarding dogs in my current home since the pandemic began. Our entire family (including two small children) loves them and tries to host any dog or cat like a member of our own. I work from home and have a largely flexible schedule for both daycare and boarding. Our home is three floors with plenty of space for pets to roam. Pets are allowed on furniture. I am happy to send photos and/or videos to show your furry friend(s) having a fun or relaxing. We can close off both sets of stairs as needed/if your pet is prone to difficulty going up and down or prefers some private space. I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of pet owners, so we veer towards pup-friendly dogs so there aren't any issues on walks.

Julie is wonderful with Nigel. Her household is caring and fun and Nigel feels right at home. I can travel with peace of mind knowing that he is in such good hands.

Thank you to Julie and her family for taking good care of the two cats. The videos she sent were pure joy - I loved seeing how much the kids interacted with the cats. I also want to thank you for being flexible when my schedule shifted. Much appreciated ! Severa
