“What a fabulous experience this was I could not be more happy. I had never left my little one before. This wasn’t my first time and I can tell she had an awesome experience. I did not wanna leave her alone because we were out of town. It would have to leave her alone all day long this way we only had to leave her for three hours Usually when I come back she’s shaking and crying and very sad if I were to leave her alone. When I came to pick her up from Julie she was happy and playful and wonderful. The care she received was excellent. Julie ‘s home was clean and inviting and safe for my baby. I will recommend her to everyone. We are going out of town for a week and I was gonna take my baby with me and find Care out there, but I’ve decided I’m going to leave her with Julie because she could not be more capable of caring for puppies than anybody I’ve ever known Thank you, Julie for being so wonderful to my baby. Can’t wait to work with you again. I come once a week to see my son at college and now I have a little drop in for my baby.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs, my own and in the neighborhood as a kid, since I was 12 years old. I grew up with a border collie and a Maltese so have experience with small and bigger dogs.

We love taking him on long walks, going on hikes, taking trips to the beach and just being outside in general. I currently work from home 8-4 and take my dog on regular walks every few hours, usually around 7, then noon, then 4 and around 8 or 9 pm. I love taking care of other dogs and have experience with all sorts of different energy levels, ages, behaviors and personalities. My dog Tilly loves to meet new furry friends and welcome them into his home and play tug o war. I have always grown up around dogs (and cats) and have a true passion for all animals. I love to go on long walks, snuggle with dogs, play fetch and hang out outdoors with dogs, especially on days where the weather is nice! I am always looking out for their safety and comfort levels to make sure they have a positive, fun and safe time while I am taking care of them. Making sure they always have water, adhering to their owners instructions, tips and care rules are my top priority at all times.
