What a wonderful experience for my 8 month old bernedoodle puppy! Julie has the perfect setup for dogs. Her fenced in yard gives lots of space for her 2 dogs plus other visiting dogs. The 3 of them were chasing and playing right away. Julie made sure my puppy, Tillie, had plenty of water and food which was great because she Tillie was burning up energy. She gave Tillie so much love as well as belly rubs and even brushing her. I highly recommend Julie and will be using her the next time I visit my sister in Burlington! Thanks for all the love you gave to Tillie!

She sent a lot of pictures and videos every day, which helped me feel less anxious about leaving my pup behind. She was very nice, and I could tell Groot was happy to be there and was getting all the love he needed. It was a warm environment that really made him feel at home.

Mabel (my fur baby) was so happy to be with their family she drug me up into their porch when she realized where we were! That makes me very happy because she likes being at her home away from home

About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. I now live in an apartment with just my two cats but take with me my past experience of two years working at a vet clinic as a ward attendant, participating in dog walking, administering medications, and other general animal care. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. With my current job as a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible. I could be available from 5 pm to 10 pm during the weekdays and then free all day during weekends. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits! I am a teacher and will be working every weekday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Expect that availability for me will change during winter and summer breaks. In my home, I have two cats that are experienced with dogs and other cats. We have multiple rooms so if a door needs to be shut for an animal's privacy while in my care, that can be done.

I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.

Julie was great! This was the first time we had a sitter for our 6 month old puppy, Charley. Julie was very patient and understanding and very flexible concerning our ever-changing schedule. She kept us updated on Charley throughout his stay. We were very happy with Julie's care of our pup and will not hesitate to request her services again.

About: I truly care about animals well-being. A pet can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your pet companion's health and happiness a top priority. I enjoy playing with them and showing them new things. If someone leaves their dog with me they can feel completely safe they are taken well care of. I will treat any person's dog the same as I would my own. I know what to look for if the dog does not feel well or needs extra attention. I have a very good sense of dogs needs such as when they are hungry or need to go outside. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I give the same care to pets, whether at home or with clients.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I use to show them in 4H when I was younger. I’m a stay at home mom, so I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll be able to run, have fun, be played with, and get lots of potty breaks! I am home all day, everyday! Therefore I am available to take them potty as much as they need, take them on walks, play with them. Whatever their needs are. I’m here for them! I have two big outdoor kennels for the nice weather days, but they are also welcome in our home. We have a tiny little rat terrier and then a boxer that love other dogs. They’re very friendly and playful. I can crate your dog, or put them in the outdoor big kennels that have coverage, or if they are good at free roaming indoors, they’re welcome to free roam the house.
