    More about Julie

    I moved from St. Louis Missouri 6 years ago to Charleston South Carolina. This new place gave me an opportunity to start my dream job Happy Hounds Dog Walking and Sitting, I always loved animals and thought this was the perfect opportunity to start a dog walking/sitting it was a slow start as I was new to the town and didn’t know anyone. But I stuck with it and eventually, one client grew into many. My personal touch and attention to the needs of my clients helped spread the word to new clients, word to mouth is how I grew to what I am. I want to provide the best care and I want the pet parent to know that I will love and care for their babies as they were my own. I start by meeting with the client and their fur baby to discuss the needs of the care to their dog or cat. During this meet and greet we go over the what services they are looking for. At this point I explain to them how Happy Hounds Dog Walking and Sitting is different than any other walking services out there. I ensure the client that I will keep them informed throughout the walk or sitting to their dog or cat. Updating the client with photos and videos of their fur babies during the visit, I want them to feel as though they are with their pet during my time of caring for their dog or cat. I always give a personal touch with each and every walk or sitting to build a strong relationship with my clients and their pets. I put my all into my time with your fur babies and I absolutely love what I do, and every day I get to wake up and truly enjoy the work I do with animals.
