I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.

Information Julissa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s unique needs! Every pet is an individual with their own specific routine, comforts, and quirks. To help me give your furry family member the best possible care, please share any special instructions or details during our first chat. I take everything into consideration to keep their environment safe, stress free, and exactly like home! Please let me know if your pet has any of the following… dietary needs, exact feeding times, portion sizes, restrictions, or food allergies. Medical routines like medication schedules, vitamins, or specific medical conditions. Behavioral quirks like fear of loud noises (like thunderstorms), reactivity to other animals on walks, leash pulling habits, or separation anxiety. Favorite routines like favorite toys, where they sleep at night, and any comforting commands or words they know. Home and furniture rules like are they allowed on the couch or bed? Are there any rooms in your house they should not enter?No detail is too small! Knowing these preferences ahead of time allows me to seamlessly blend into your pet's normal routine so they feel completely safe and loved.

A typical day

A typical day starts bright and early with a morning potty break in our secure, fenced in yard, followed by a fresh breakfast served exactly on your pet's schedule. Because I am currently off for the summer, my day revolves entirely around keeping your pet happy, active, and included! Since I love staying active and going to the gym, I structure my days around outdoor movement. Late mornings and late afternoons are reserved for long, refreshing walks around the neighborhood. If it's a dog who prefers a slower pace or a cat who loves indoor play, we adapt! Middays are for relaxing inside our air conditioned home, enjoying belly rubs, and catching up on a well deserved nap. I don’t just watch pets, I actively engage them! Here are some of the fun things your furry friend will experience with me… yard fetch and zoomies, safe and off leash playtime in my secure yard with absolutely no neighboring dogs to distract or stress them out. Mental stimulation using puzzle toys, treat dispensing games, or practicing basic obedience commands to keep their minds sharp. For kitties, play time like high energy feather wand chases, laser pointer games, and scratching post fun for my feline clients. And photo session! I love capturing cute moments! You will receive daily, high quality photo and video updates of your pet having a blast. Lastly some wind down cuddles, evening wind down time on the couch or a comfy bed with plenty of head scratches, love, and attention from me, my mom, and my sister.

Lifelong Dog Lover/5 Star Care!

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!

Julissa is a very responsible and caring person. She is someone you can rely on and trust. Ever since I have known her she is an animal lover and she will treat your pet as her own. Julissa is also a very active person which is a plus if you are looking for someone who can play and walk your pets. She is the best!

Julissa is an amazing dog walker, probably the best I've had. As a relatively new dog mom to a husky AND a pitbull, both very energetic, I was really worried about finding a walker who would be willing to deal with them. She took on the challenge with no problem and my babies are super calm around her. Julissa is attentive, reliable, and very flexible, and I feel perfectly comfortable with my dogs in her care.
