Julie pet sits our two furry rascals whenever we go out of town, and she always goes above and beyond! In addition to spending the night, she interacts with them a lot daily; takes them on walks, to the dog park, plays in the backyard with them, and snuggles with them on the couch. She also sends us daily updates and pictures :) which are always appreciated, and I swear she has a 6th sense about sending them when you're really missing them, which is perfect, and she takes the BEST pictures of the dogs!! Our daughter even used one in her school poster. She is one of the most thoughtful people I've met; drops off presents for the poochers, extends invitations to doggie birthdays, and sends hilarious messages and holiday wishes :) There are two instances I wanted to share in particular where Julie went above and beyond in her care with our pups. 1. I purchased some small treats for our puppy Fin for potty training in the backyard. They didn't agree with his stomach the next morning, and let's just say it was an explosive messy situation.....for days. Of course, my husband and I had a trip that weekend, and were leaving THE morning he woke up with explosiveness. I texted Julie to let her know what was going on, and she said no problem, we'll get him feeling better. Throughout the weekend, she washed his bed and countless towels, cleaned up his crate, went to the vet to buy him some wet food, went to the store to buy canned pumpkin, cleaned him up, and was so sweet to him the whole time. 2. My husband surprised me for a trip to Cabo for an engagement anniversary trip. His assistant set up the pet care, and booked the other pet sitter we have on deck :( There was a miscommunication between my husband's assistant and the other pet sitter about our return time, and so she left the dogs in the house (the puppy in the crate) in the late morning. Our return flight, of course, was delayed (potentially cancelled!!!!) due to weather. I started freaking out! The other pet sitter wasn't answering her phone, my husband's assistant was on her way back from Dallas, and they had been cooped up for hours!!! I called Julie, and she immediately came over, fed the boys dinner, played outside with them, and then snuggled on the couch with them until we got home. Life saver!!! Anyways, I seriously cannot sing her enough praises! She's just the best! -Annie Jacob

Julie and her staff were amazing. Very professional and super loving with our furry babies. It's so nice to travel knowing our dogs are being loved and spoiled.

In Old West Austin, The Fast and the Furriest is the BEST dog walking/sitting service! Owner Julie is dependable, trustworthy, and my dog adores her!

Have known Julie many years through my vet. Was so happy to hear of her new service. My very active dog and ancient, picky cats (and plants and pool) were well taken care of and most importantly, she kept me informed with several notes and photos each day. Would love to keep her to myself....

By far the best pet services I've ever had. Julie and her team treat my girl Lola like their own and I'm not sure what I would do with them!
