About: After years and years of begging, I was finally blessed with my first dog, Max! I can proudly say I have personally raised my own puppy from 8 weeks all the way to 6 years and counting! All 120lbs of cuddles, walking, feeding, and medicating have given me the necessary experience to care for your own pup! From my experiences, I've learned how important it is to maintain routines and keep our furry pets as stress free as possible. I've gotten extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and reactivity, so no matter the pup, I'll do my best to adopt to your fur baby's personality! 🐶🩷 My priority in caring for your animals is making sure they feel loved and cared for duing your absence! That could include anything from walks, playing a good game of fetch, cuddles, or just spending some time together throughout the day. As for you, I also realize how easy it is to miss a fur baby (mine is currently over 600 miles away 😓) and will always be sure to keep you updated and provide as many updates as possible (complete transparancy is the key!) I am avaliable nearly every weekend, and thanks to my current class schedule, also avaliable to make multiple drop-in visits during the week. Monday: 7-11am,8-10pm Tuesday: 11am-10pm Wednesday: 7-2pm, 5-10pm Tuesday: 11am-10pm Friday: 10-2pm, 5-10pm Sat/Sun: 7-10pm! I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and integrity. During a Meet & Greet, we will go over your exact routing, dietary instructions, and home entry protocols so I can match your pet's normal routine precisely! On walks, I maintain high situational awareness to steer clear of off-leash dogs, busy traffic, or wildlife.(I'm very accustomed to a distracted dog haha!) I adhere closely to your privacy, home access rules, and camera disclosures. I also keep all business communication secured directly on the platform!
“Julia is awesome! Extremely reliable and even helps us out with last minute requests. Love not having to worry if my dog is getting enough exercise and attention when he’s with Julia.”

I work from home with a flexible schedule and have two Shiba Inu girls of my own, Champagne and Hope. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, whether they need walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra company. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you know how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Making sure your pet is well taken care of is my top priority, and it's seamlessly woven into my daily routine. Since I work from home part-time, I'm super flexible with scheduling as long as we coordinate in advance. Your pet's happiness and comfort are always my main concern! When I'm at your place, I'll treat it just like my own, giving your pets all the attention they need. I'll make sure they feel relaxed, especially since I'll be a new face to them! And get ready for a photo session with your pet because I love snapping tons of adorable pictures to send your way!

My flexible schedule makes it easier to work with yours when you need last minute care for your pet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
