Hi, my name is Julie!

I am passionate about inspiring and empowering pet owners to plan for their animals' entire lives! By encouraging long-term planning over short-term thinking, I hope to reduce stress and improve the lives of both our furry friends and their humans.

I'm an animal lover and a certified financial coach with a passion for making a difference. As the founder of Lifetime of Care, I've seen firsthand how developing and sticking to a financial plan transforms lives and empowers animal owners to have confidence in their ability to care for their animals.

As a certified financial coach, I spent time volunteering for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, helping military families develop a financial plan to find peace and confidence. You can find this peace of mind with your animals, too! Witnessing the positive changes in the lives of these families reinforced the importance of having coaching support to develop a financial plan that actually works. This plan is the key to a brighter, more secure future. Especially for your animals.

As a lifelong dog, donkey, and horse owner, I’ve spent years successfully managing the financial aspects of their care—even the unexpected expenses. With this personal experience and expertise as a certified financial coach, I have developed useful resources and a friendly budgeting method tailored to the unique needs of animal planning. 

The best part? These resources and expertise will prepare you for both routine and unexpected expenses. 

Knowing the average costs of animal ownership is not enough to have peace of mind. After all, budgeting for your animal can be incredibly challenging. The large majority of owners underestimate the expenses of their animals, frequently by as much as five times!

No matter where you are in your journey of pet ownership, starting with an accurate and realistic budget is so important. But did you know that most budgets fail for the first 3-6 months? This is where I come in. With my expertise, we can help you transform your life and achieve your dreams with a budget and plan.

Pets are family, and owners without a realistic budget may face the heartbreaking decision of surrendering their animals to shelters or rehoming them. A clear financial plan is vital to ensure our beloved animals receive the best care possible, and we are committed to providing it.

Imagine spending quality time with your furry friend, watching your donkey live out his days in your field, or riding your horse without worrying about being able to afford their next feed or vet bill.

My clients have achieved this, and you can do it too!
