Dog lover and puppy whisperer!
Pet care experience
Hey there! I'm a dog sitter with a deep love for dogs that goes way back – I've been at it for about 10 years now. I've had the pleasure of taking care of all kinds of pups, from playful puppies to wise old dogs. Honestly, if I could, I'd spend the whole day playing with them! I'm happy with looking after older dogs, especially those who might need a little extra care or have specific diets. When your dog stays with me, they'll have a blast thanks to the two awesome dog parks nearby. Or, if they're not in the mood for other dogs, we can go for a nice, leisurely hour-long walk along the MBT trail. For those energetic furballs, I'm used to giving them longer walks to make sure they get a good run. I do have some preferences that help make the stay more enjoyable for everyone. I particularly love dogs that have been trained not to jump on the couch. It just makes for a cleaner and comfier environment for both the pup and me. If your furry friend isn't quite trustworthy to be left alone in the apartment for an hour or two, I'm a big fan of crate training. It ensures their safety and prevents any unexpected surprises when you're away. Don't worry; they'll still get plenty of love and attention when I'm with them You can count on me to be reliable and trustworthy. I'd be thrilled to help take care of your dog in any way you need. Let's make sure your furry friend has a great time!
Reviews
Julia was absolutely the best! She was very responsive and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she could give Polly the best care. She provided daily updates and photos and we could tell Polly was thoroughly enjoying her stay. We can’t thank Julia enough!
Julia is so kind and considerate with our dog (and with us as pet owners), we feel so comforted knowing our dog Gordon is with Julia when we are away and can’t be with him.
Julia was such an amazing caregiver to our dog while we were out of town for 4 days. She was extremely conscientious about what our dog required and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She also went above and beyond to let us know how he was doing and shared photos. I am so glad we found Julia, a very sweet dog lover!
Julia was amazing with our puppy. She was patient and caring and sent pictures and videos while we were away. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home or the client's, safety is paramount. I tailor care to the service provided, ensuring a trustworthy and pet-friendly environment for their well-being. The dog park attached to my building is secure and oftentimes empty in case a dog isn't comfortable with other dogs, and my apartment is locked whenever I leave.
Home
Information Julia A. would like to know about your pet
I'm always eager to learn about a dog's unique quirks and habits. Understanding how they behave in an apartment building (barking, whining) helps create a stress-free environment. Their interactions with other dogs, whether they enjoy group play at a dog park or prefer solo walks, guide my activities. Knowing their level of training ensures a safe and comfortable stay. Additionally, details about their preferred sleeping arrangement ensure a cozy night's rest.
