Pet care experience

Responsible, reliable, and friendly

I have experience caring for different size dogs, cats, mice, and rats, both my own and others'. I currently have two dogs of my own, but only one is living with me at the moment. Lincoln is a loving, people and dog friendly Dachshund I've had since 10 weeks old. My other dog Mocha is a sweet girl who is currently spending her summer in Florida with my parents. Through Mocha, I have experience working with a trainer to improve problem behaviors, administering medication, and practicing positivity. I believe every animal deserves time, effort, and love. Please make sure your pet is small dog friendly as Lincoln loves friends!

Julissa and Copper did great together. He loved the dog park at her apartment complex where he could run free. Julissa sent daily pictures and updates and we could see Copper was enjoying her and her dog Lincoln.

Our dogs really enjoyed their time at Julissa’s! She was great about keeping them active but also giving them plenty of snuggles. She was great at communicating and sharing pictures.

Julissa came and met with us on short notice. We instantly felt good about her staying with our pets. Our French Bulldog recently had some issues with her neck and was having a rough time being kept calm and on medication. Julissa was very great caring for Petra, even taking it a step further to move her mattress to the floor with her. She sent regular status updates and ultimately made us feel safe and comfortable with her caring for our pets and staying in our home. Thank you!

Julissa did an amazing job watching our dogs. We got regular updates she took them out for playtime, did special medication requests and sent videos. They both were so happy when we returned home with their tails wagging! Our house looked great too! We can’t recommend Julissa enough! Thank you for being so good to our littles!

Schedule

I currently work a full time, hybrid, schedule during normal business hours. I work from home Mondays and Tuesdays. This means I'm in the office Wednesday - Friday but come home for lunch. I'm mostly free for drop ins during evenings and especially on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pet safe and cared for is my priority. I enjoy keeping clients updated with notes and messages. I'd love to build a trusting relationship with your pet and you! During drop ins, I will spend time with, feed, water, and take your pet out for potty if applicable. During walks, we'll walk for the allotted time and get some water afterward. You'll have a well-exercised dog! During daycare, I can do all of the above on a predetermined schedule. Boarding includes this and your pet spending the night! My home will be where I spend the most time, but I will leave to work, serve other clients, and run errands. Contact me to work out details!
