Reviews
Our pup enjoyed being walked by Julia. She has great communication and was able to work with us with a few days notice.
she rocks - willing to be flexible and has saved me on short notice. super nice and my dog loves her!!
Julia did change water and food and litter for my cat while I was gone. In that way, she completed the basic needs. Unfortunately with a shy pet I hoped Julia could stick around and wait for her to come out, but she stayed 8 or 10 minutes instead of 30. Next time I will be clearer with a sitter about expecting this, but I had never not had a sitter assume that shy cats need time. My cat had lost weight and seemed still very stressed when we got back and I think more time spent there might have helped her be more comfortable with the person coming and going. I recognize shy cats can be hard, so maybe this wasn’t the best pairing.
She helped me out in a pinch and I couldn't be more grateful. She is very good with communication, responds quickly, and has taken wonderful care of my dog. I highly recommend!
About Julia B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am familiar with having dogs in both fenced and unfenced yards as well as many types of leashes and collars. I have always had big dogs and can handle their strength!
Information Julia B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about any food/toy aggression, health concerns, energy levels, and dog/people reactivity. It would also be helpful to know where any relevant supplies are and their vet in case of emergency.
A typical day
Totally fine walking around the neighborhood, but also the river and parks. I would also love to play fetch or something in the yard! Also open to just giving some belly rubs :)
Services
Julia can watch in your home
Availability
I have a flexible schedule and am an early riser. I have the most time in the morning and later afternoon/evening, but can easily make midday work! Weekends are usually open!
