Hi, I’m Julia! I’ve been around dogs and many other animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I worked as the director at an animal shelter for 3½ years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of personalities, ages, and needs. During that time, I cared for both dogs and cats ranging from playful puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets, and I became comfortable administering medications and following individualized care plans. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m also happy to try to accommodate special requests, medication schedules, and any instructions that help your pet feel their best. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away!
