Safety, trust & environment

Communication is key! A thorough briefing beforehand results in easy problem solving and avoiding anxiety for all. Clients know their pets and their homes best, so keeping in contact with them is responsible; transparency is a must when someone is putting their trust in you.

Information Julia B. would like to know about your pet

Some cats do trigger my allergies, while others do not. I have stayed overnight with certain cats, and others I've comfortably done drop-ins and kept them company for several hours during the day while taking allergy medicine. I'd be happy to chat more about this if you have any concerns!

A typical day

I love a woodsy or park walk to get all those wildlife smells; puppies in my experience also love to play chase around the house or yard; the cats I've watched have a particular love for laser pointers or cardboard boxes; and of course, lots of pets and cuddles for all

Hi, can I pet your dog??

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals big and small, young and old; my dog at my family home is medium sized, energetic, and sometimes reactive, so I have experience with more hands-on pets. I no longer live with any pets so I'm excited to take care of yours with the same dedication as if they were my own!

Julia house sat/stayed with my dog Otis. She was really great with him, sent pictures, and my place was clean when I got home. She was also very responsive. This was my first time using rover and it was a super positive experience thanks to Julia. I’d recommend her for sure!

Julia was on time and clearly cares a lot about Pepper. They were fast friends. She plays with Pepper, takes her on walks, and is keen to get to know her quirks.

Julia is a wonderful caregiver for any furry baby! She has watched both my cats (one who's a bit difficult); not only does she give them the care they need, she always takes the time to play and cuddle with them. She prioritizes her pet-sitting in her schedule and never misses feedings.
