Pet care experience

10 yrs of experience ☀️ 🐾 💕

What really sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s been a huge part of my life for years. I started working with animals at 15, became a certified dog groomer, and for the past four years I’ve worked in the veterinary field. That experience means I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to seniors and pets who need a little extra care. More than anything, I truly love what I do. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, and I treat them the way I’d want someone to treat my own; with patience, kindness, and lots of reassurance. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and completely at home while you’re away! 🐾✨💕

Julissa was so attentive to my 2 large Dobermans. She sent photos, updates, followed my directions and kept my home clean! I will absolutely be rebooking her again, my dogs absolutely loved her!

Once again, Julissa is an absolute lifesaver! I needed help on short notice and she came through without hesitation. My father’s cat—who is usually very shy—absolutely adores her. I’ll definitely keep rebooking as long as she’s available!

Julissa was amazing! She really helped when I was in a bind with Lex and went above and beyond taking care of my father’s kitty. I truly appreciate her kindness and reliability. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I work part time and am able to offer daycare or drop ins in between my schedule! I have other pets at home too that require walks so if your baby is at my home for daycare they’d all be on the same schedule

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs who help visiting pets feel comfortable, and since I work from home, they get lots of supervision and attention throughout the day. We go on multiple leash walks (my neighborhood requires it for safety), and I love bringing the dogs along for long walks so they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I also have space to crate if needed. As a certified groomer, I can even send your baby home freshly groomed! In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I give them lots of love, playtime, and attention while making sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. 🐾✨💕

Pets

A typical day

I love to provide enrichment for dogs. We’ll go on long walks and have plenty of treats (with your permission). And they’ll have plenty of playtime with my dogs at home. For cats I understand that they may require a little more patience and understanding than most doggies and because of this I’m more go with the flow when it comes to cats. You give me a list of things they enjoy (churu’s or anything else yummy) and I’ll give them positive reinforcements to show them I can be trusted. After that, it’s up to them! I can cuddle all day or I can sit with them while they are loafed up on the couch making biscuits, and if they’re feeling really rambunctious I can provide enrichment through toys!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or requires medications. I am happy to administer oral medications given that I am provided the dosing and the times they are to be given. Please also let me know any silly quirks your pup may have or any walking habits they may have in advance.
