Highlights
Pet care experience
Your fur-ever sitter!
I've been walking neighborhood dogs & pet sitting for friends and family since I was 9 years old. On my 14th birthday, I finally got my own dog, Ferguson, and we were best friends for 15 years until he passed away a couple of years ago. His later years have given me plenty of experience in taking care of an old fur baby in need of medication, shots, and extra patience & cuddles. I have also taken care of friend's, roommate's, and neighbor's dogs of ALL ages and sizes over the years, from elderly Pugs to puppy Great Danes. Whether you need your dog walked, bathed, fed, snuggled, played with, or all of the above, I'm happy to help! I also do overnight sitting for those going out of town that want their pups to be well taken care of in their own home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will always follow your instructions to a tee (i.e. feeding times, specific diets, walking habits, social interactions allowed/not allowed, medication schedules, furniture rules, etc.). I will not take a dog to do an activity off leash unless requested to do so, and I also know that it's a safe environment and have interacted with your dog enough to know that they will listen to my commands. I pride myself in being reliable, trustworthy, and respectful to both pets and their owners. Being a previous dog mom, I understand how important it is that the person watching your dog treats them as well as you would and follows your rules so that you don't need to break any bad behaviors upon your return (like begging for table scraps, etc.). Dogs need a lot of love in addition to the basic necessities, so I will make sure to give them all the pets and snuggles they each deserve!
Ratings and reviews
Julie watched our miniature dachshund for a week and was great! Our dog loves her and we appreciate all of the photos and updates we get while away. We will definitely book with Julie again in the future!
Julie is absolutely wonderful! She took care of Ziggy for 17 days while we were out of the country and we couldn’t have been more happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Julie - one who will take care of your pup with all the love and care
Julie always takes amazing care of my pups! She is very trustworthy, responsible, and a great communicator. Would recommend her to anyone!
Julie provided tons of pics and a daily update while she was housesitting/pet sitting our mini dachshund, Peachy. Peachy loved her and was well cared for. We will definitely book with Julie again!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
For overnight pet sitting, your pup(s) will have plenty of company, so you don't need to worry about them getting lonely! I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and will hangout with them in the morning before work, mid-day on my lunch break, all evening, and full-time on weekends! I'll also send you pictures of your furry friend(s) and updates of how their day, walk, and/or play session was. I usually send a morning and an evening update while house sitting with plenty of pictures. I do work Mon-Fri from 8 am to 5 pm on the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus but am able to visit your pup mid-day around 12:15 pm to do up to a 20-30 min walk (depending on where you live), potty break, or just hangout to give them cuddles!

- Dog’s age, size, & activity level. How they get along with other dogs (i.e. do we need to cross the street on walks if another dog is coming our way or can they say hello). Whether they’ll lunge at passing small children, skateboarders, runners, seagulls, pigeons, etc. on walks (I’ve only experienced this with large/giant dogs who are full grown but basically still puppies, which isn’t a problem for me, but it’s nice to know if I should anticipate it). Any injuries to watch out for or precautions that I should take (i.e. needing to be carried up/down stairs, hip/knee problems that could be exacerbated by playing with other dogs, broken nails, allergies, etc.).
