Highlights
Pet care experience
Mom of 3, dog enthusiast
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Smith. We are transplants to Minnesota. My husband and I are both Air Force brats, so we grew up all over the world. My childhood dog (Rok-e) was adopted from south Korea when I was 9. He was a very loved, purebred lab. We said goodbye to him when I was 21, a few months before my husband and I got married. We do not have any animals of our own but we love to care of other's animals. Our kids enjoy having responsibilities with the dogs such as getting them water and helping to feed them. In our home, your dog will have lots of space to run and play. They will get lots of pets and love from us and our kids. A typical day in our house goes as follows: Wake up between 6 and 630. Breakfast by 730 Morning exercises (walking the dog, go to the park, etc.) Preschool drop off - happy to take the dog with me, if they do okay in the car. Lunch/quiet time Play time (outside, unless it is way too cold)/walk and potty break) Training/skill building for the kids and the dog Dinner Evening walk/exercise Quiet time 7/730 Bed time for adults around 10 We have a large, fully fenced yard (3/4 of it is a tall privacy fence and the back of it is 4 ft chain link fence with a large field behind our house). We have 3 kids who will help spoil and play with your fur baby. We will take your dog on walks (rain or shine) and help their social skills being around children. There are no other animals in the house.

Thanks for taking such good care of Nelly!
Julie did a wonderful job watching our two pups! She was flexible on the drop off and pick up times! They have a fantastic fenced in back yard which was wonderful! Would highly recommend!
Gus had a great time with Julie and her family, they took such great care of him! We will definitely be leaving Gus with them again if we are ever in the area again :)
Julie and her family provided a great family environment for Mia! Thank you, Julie!
Julie and her family took great care with my Pup, Frankie. I'd highly recommend Julie to care for your pups.
Julie and her dog savvy kiddos took great care of my 2 golden retrievers! It was a relief to find a family with no other dogs in the home for my senior goldens.

Schedule
I am a stay at home mom of 4 young kids. We are typically home or playing in our yard during the day. During the school year, I drive our kids to school in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. We love going to the park and will happily take your dog with us if they are well behaved on a leash.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard that the dogs are free to roam in. They are allowed on our upstairs couches. We no longer allow dogs to have unlimited access to our whole house. Our basement will be blocked off as we don't typically spend a lot of time down there. PLEASE NOTE: due to problems in the past, we will begin charging an excessive accident fee. We understand that sometimes dogs have accidents - truly, we get it. That being said, excessive accidents is not acceptable and there will be an additional fee charged. We provide ample amount of outdoor time for dogs to do their business outside (and expect them to do so) and will charge for dogs who are not adequately house trained or who mark their territory inside.
A typical day
I love to make sure that you're dogs needs are met, both physically and mentally. We will make sure your dog gets adequate play time outside and inside. We love to walk to the park down the street from our house.
