About: I have always grown up with dogs. Our family had a senior dog who lived until almost 17 years old, so I have plenty of experience with older dogs! I also have a rescue from Detroit now who is my baby. I am a nurse! So, I work three days a week, but I don’t have designated days. So usually I would need at least a couple of days in advance. I do have my schedule for work booked out at least six weeks. So I can be very very flexible apart from the days that I do work. I will treat your pet the same way that I would treat mine! I will always have eyes on them and make sure that they are safe and happy to see you when you get home!
“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old, starting with my Cocker Spaniel/Terrier mix, who was my best friend for 20 years. Since then, I’ve cared for and trained a variety of breeds, from Maltipoos to German Shepherds and mixed breeds in between. I also have ample experience caring for cats. Currently, I have a sweet 3-year-old Australian Shepherd who loves making new friends and having playmates—we'd love to count yours among them! Drop-In: During drop-in visits, your pup will get all the attention and playtime they need to burn off energy and stay happy. Have cats? No problem! I'll make sure they feel safe and loved, offering the right mix of affection and space. Dog-Sitting: I understand how stressful it can be when life takes us away from our furry friends, but you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for in my home. Your pup will have my Australian Shepherd as a playmate, and I’ll keep them entertained with walks, fetch, and peanut butter-filled Kongs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensuring your dog feels right at home with all the comforts they’re used to. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the love and respect they deserve. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your furry friends better—and offer the chance to meet my dog, Sersi, if your dog will be staying with us. Looking forward to meeting you and your buddy soon! As a dog dad, pet care is central to my routine. I work from home, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to play and engage with them, ensuring they feel loved and stimulated. In my home, I provide a safe, clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, whether through walks, fetch, or cuddles. If caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, maintaining their normal schedule and environment while giving them all the attention they need.
