About: My family has had a few dogs throughout my life, each unique and special in their own ways. From a highly energetic and lovable goofball of an Australian Shepherd, to a social Cocker Spaniel whose main focuses are food, making new human friends, and keeping his little sister in line. All the dogs in my life mean more to mean than I can put into words, and I would love to get to care for your fur babies the same way I care for mine! I feel comfortable and confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have experience in potty training, learning to walk on leash, medication administration, and pretty much any other basic care responsibilities you could think of! If this sounds like a good fit, I'd love to connect and care for your canine friend! Additionally, I enjoy running and go for several shorter runs during the week. If you have a dog that would like to jog and wants to join, I would love to bring them along! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time during the week and on the weekends to take you pets for walks, come by for a drop in visit, and provide them some company while you're away! The safety of your pets and anyone interacting with them are my utmost priority. Before the visit I like to know if there are any other dogs or animals they don’t get along with, if it’s okay for other people to pet them on walks, and if there’s anything they may be scared or wary of. I also undertsand that pets need time to warm up to new people, and that forming connections is on the pet’s timeline. When entering the home of a pet I don't yet know, I wait for them come up to me and ensure that they feel comfortable before petting and interacting with them. If you book with me I will strive to make sure your pet is always feels safe and comfortable!

“Neil has been amazing with our new puppy! We have hired him for numerous walks and we are always very pleased. He is quick to respond and he’s great with dogs!”


“Mary Kate showed up on time, took Winnie for a nice long walk, and even worked through me forgetting to tell her where to find the leash. I would be happy to use her services again!”

“May was great with Frankie. She came during a heat wave so Frankie didn’t want to stay outside long. May spent the rest of the time with him playing fetch with him inside and rubbing his belly. She also fed him. I will be using her services again!”



“Mackenzie is amazing, the best care taker for Minnie we could've asked for. She really treats Minnie like she's her own dog and is kind, caring and understanding of Minnie's needs. Thank you Mackenzie!”


About: What sets me apart is both my hands-on experience and my personal commitment to each pet’s comfort and happiness. I have raised my dog Max since I was 14 and later took in Coby when I was 17. This taught me how to help pets feel comfortable living together and build trust between them. When I cared for Coby separately, I created a routine that helped him feel secure, and he continued that routine when he returned home. Through these experiences, I have learned to understand each pet’s needs and personality and to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood, whether they are playful puppies, senior pets, or pets adjusting to new environments. During my summer internship, I plan to take care of pets in the evenings after work, including feeding, playtime, and walks. On weekends, I will have more time for longer activities or appointments. In the fall, when I return to school, my schedule will be more flexible so I can fit in pet care throughout the day, especially between classes and in the afternoons. At my apartment, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and engaged through play, affection, and attention so they don’t feel limited by the smaller space. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routine consistent, make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment, and give them lots of positive interaction so they stay happy and relaxed while their owner is away. My neighborhood is pet friendly, offering many routes and engaging activities.

“Julia is great with our dog Blue! She is very friendly and enthusiastic, and has a genuine interest in the well being of animals. I appreciate her communication before and during dog walks and I trust her to provide quality care for our pup. We will definitely book her again!”
