To all my former and recent clients - please don’t hesitate to send me updates (and pics!) about your pets. I’m going to miss them all so much and would definitely love to hear/see how they’re doing.

After much consideration, I have decided to accept a full time position and permanently close Pet Sitting By Julie. I am so grateful for all of my amazing clients these past ten years, and I will truly miss spending time with all of the sweet animals. If you are a current or former client with a key on file, I will be reaching out to you via text or email.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business.

A charity near and dear to my sister. Please consider donating to them during this breast cancer awareness month.

The stage of breast cancer that you can die from is metastatic breast cancer. When breast cancer cells break away from the tumor in the breast and begin to grow in another part of your body (places like your bones, liver, lungs, brain, etc.) this is called metastasis. No matter where the cancer spreads to it is still breast cancer (i.e. liver metastasis is not liver cancer). Once breast cancer metastasizes the disease is considered incurable, and ultimately fatal.

At METAvivor our mission is to fund research focused on learning exactly how and why breast cancer metastasizes, and how we can develop more effective, well tolerated treatments in order to stop this spread. Every single breast cancer patient, regardless of their stage, will benefit from this research because if we can halt metastasis and ultimately put the brakes on this disease’s ability to take up residence in vital organs then no one will die from breast cancer.

100% of every donation funds metastatic breast cancer research. Don’t ignore stage IV.

When my sister passed a couple weeks ago, we had to find care quickly for our doggies so Tony could come to Illinois and be with our family. Although there are many amazing pet sitters in my area (in addition to myself 😋), I know that trying to book a sitter on very short notice isn’t always easy. Good pet sitters get booked up quickly! A fellow pet pro I know recommended Pet Paradise Stone Oak. I’m so thankful they were able to quickly get my girls in. We were able to see them daily on webcams and get daily report cards and photos, with an upgraded package. My Cindy Lou (right) looks pretty happy here playing with this adorable little poodle doggy (I do not know who he/she is, but how stinking cute are they??) It’s a new facility and they also offer a military discount. Since I’m still on a hiatus from pet sitting, I wanted to share this company with y’all as an option for pet care if you choose to board. (They board kitties too).

Pet Paradise where furever friends are made 🐾♥️

It’s been one week since we said goodbye to my sister. Her sweet pup Chip has been missing his mom (along with the rest of us). We’ve all been trying to comfort him during this time as well. He spent most of his time with Jamie and was her sidekick when the kids were at school and her husband was at work. I’m sure he is confused and wondering why his mom never came home 😔.

I typically try to avoid sharing too much about my personal life, but I am beyond devastated to share that my sister passed away last night. Our family is heartbroken and we are all trying to get through this one minute/hour/day at a time. Right now, I’m not sure when or if I will reopen my pet sitting business, as my top priority is being here for her two young girls up in Illinois. Jamie was my only sibling, my older sister and protector, my best friend and an amazing mom to her children and their beloved dog Chip. Thank you to everyone who has checked in with me asking how she was and for the continued thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes. I will let everyone know as soon as I have made a decision about the future of Pet Sitting By Julie. Thanks for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
