Information Julie S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the breed or behaviors or any special needs, likes or dislikes for each dog. Typically, the dog has a set schedule as far as potty breaks, sleep time, exercise, which kind of treats they are allowed, and what time they eat their food.

A typical day

I like to take long walks or hikes if the dog is in need of some good exercise! I try to accommodate their usual schedule and what the are used to as much as possible.

Pet care experience

(Pls. Note, I can’t take dogs that shed… sorry. And, preferably no dogs over 60lbs) I have always loved dogs. Over the years, I have fostered and walked rescue dogs, dog-sat many dogs. When I care for dogs, I treat them like my own. They get lots of cuddles, a ton of attention and love.

Julie has been absolutely wonderful taking care of my Italian Greyhound Leo for one whole week. My pup was welcomed into her family by all. Julie kept me regularly updated with photos and and short comments so I didn't have to worry while I was away. I highly recommend her to lovingly care for your pet.

I had no concerns leaving our doodle with Julie and her family. It’s always stressful being away but Julie kept me updated with pics and positive comments. We all survived! Definitely recommend.

Julie is such an easy going, sweet person and Milo picked up on her good energy immediately. Her home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. She sent lots of pictures of Milo living his best life, getting belly rubs from everybody in the family. I’m so grateful we found her. Thanks!
