Report
Having been a professional in the dog care business I am as perfectionistic as it gets when looking for someone to care for our standard poodles. At our initial meeting I was immediately impressed with Julie's calm energy, her dog-sitting experience and responsible attitude. She thoroughly interviewed me, wanting to know all of the details about the poodles, which put me even more at ease. I hired her that day to stay at our home later on in the month, and as promised, each day Julie sent texts and photos, which put my mind at ease.
When we returned the poodles were calm, happy and our directions, I was happy to see, were totally followed. I've already hired her to stay again. I am a bit reluctant to publish this review as I'm afraid too many people will use her services and then she won't be available when I need her. Yikes!

We have two cats, one is half wild from Africa so it has some specialized needs. Whenever we have to go away we use Julie\'s Pet Care. They come to our house and play with the cats, feed them, clean the litter box, check their water, take in the mail, water plants, etc. They will do what ever you need. We never felt comfortable leaving for more then a day or two before we found Julie\'s Pet Care. Now we can go away on a week long vacation and not worry about anything. They have been great for us! So, I very highly recommend them.
