“Dog lover with 20+ breed experience”
I'm Julia, and I love dogs! I'd love to take your pup for a quick walk around the neighborhood to burn off some energy or spend time with them while you're away for a sitting or boarding! I treat every dog as if they were my own, since as a student, I'm not in a place to have my own to care for right now. My customer service background, attention to detail and genuine care for all animals will ensure that you and your pup will have a great experience.

Okemos is also the birthplace of esteemed American novelist and creative writing professor James Hynes. TV and film star Seth Meyers also went to elementary school in Okemos.
