Safety, trust & environment

I will come to your home for dog walking or a drop in visit which would include playing in your fenced yard. I can play ball, play with enrichment toys or just let your pet out for bathroom breaks, sniffing around and belly rubs (lots of belly rubs!)

Information Juli R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or needs any oral medication. I have experience through volunteering at the shelter caring for special needs dogs. Any behavioral issues or dislikes are important to know ahead of time. Is your pup dog/cat/people reactive? Do they hate being touched near the ears? These are common behaviors and can be dealt with but need to be discussed in advance.

A typical day

I am happy to play ball, tug toys or enrichment games with your dog(s). We can walks laps around your fenced yard or go on walks in the neighborhood. My favorite walks with my dogs are Laguna de Santa Rosa and Howarth Park. I love to discover new neighborhoods! Does your dog have a favorite walk or hangout spot? I’m happy to discuss a possible daycare session to take them to the beach or on their favorite hike.

Very experienced dog walker!

Pet care experience

Thanks for stopping by my profile, I am currently fully booked on Mondays and Thursdays. I have some space on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as long as your time is flexible week to week. I do require a Meet and Greet before starting any walks. A little about me: I am on Rover because I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I have had dogs all my life and currently have two dogs, an extra large, leash reactive dobie mix and one medium sized lab/shepherd mix. We have done lots of training classes together and they get walked regularly. I also have years of experience volunteering and fostering working with rescue dogs. I have done many classes, including: 1. Leash training 2. body language classes 3. pack walk classes (monthly) 4. Sniffing/enrichment 5. Advanced dog training (I attend advanced classes once a year) I have also completed 5 Vet Tech Credits with the fear free shelter program core module and am a certified trainer through Good Pup Training. Your dogs will be in good hands in my care. I do prefer to walk no more than two dogs at a time. I am happy to do drop in visits at your home for more than two as long as you have a well contained yard. I prefer to use a well fit no pull harness/leash combination when walking your dog, a gentle leader or a sidekick leash. Please no leashes attached to the collar, it’s too easy for dogs to slip out of. Your dogs safety is of upmost importance to me. Let’s set up a Meet and Greet before booking so I can meet you and your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled visits. My philosophy on walks is that the most enriching and enjoyable walk for your pet is a combination of exercise and sniffing, so I try to combine both but will modify based on individual needs. My ultimate goal is to form a bond with your pup(s) so I do like to have clients who need regular walks, therefore at this time I don’t offer one time walks.

Juli is a God send. It’s crystal clear that she genuinely cared for animals. She loves your animal like her own. She is reliable and my home looked just as great as when I left it. I don’t know what I would do without her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
