About Us

Julie Branscomb and Walter Bridwell are long-time Sonoma County residents who live in Rincon Valley. They currently own 4 cats—Sammy, Maxi, Buster and Pumpkin, who they adore. Julie also raised and trained a black lab, Lizzie (who is now in Rainbow Heaven), who became a breeder for Canine Companions for Independence and had 5 litters of puppies for them. Growing up in a big family, Julie was active in 4-H, and raised rabbits, trained a Guide Dog puppy, and enjoyed riding horses in her home town of Fort Bragg. Walt is the 'cat rescuer' of the family and always has a soft spot for any stray cat that happens to venture onto their porch, thus they keep adding to their brood!

Julie and Walt have vast experience working with all types of pets, and Julie has of course had much experience with whelping and dog training through her years as a Guide Dog and CCI puppy raiser and breeder/caretaker. She also successfully completed a pet sitting certification course through NAPPS.

Out of their passion and desire to work with animals, Julie and Walt started their pet care business in 2001 and found it to be the perfect niche for them. They continue to educate themselves in all areas of pet behavior and health, and are always looking for opportunities to expand their knowledge. They take great pride and pleasure in serving their customers' and pets' needs to the best of their ability, and look forward to continue providing top-quality pet sitting services throughout the Santa Rosa area.
