Home away from home!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Julia - I am an Oakland resident, dog owner, and avid hiker. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone you don't know - I hope in getting to know each other, and learning more about your pup, we can find the perfect situation for you to feel at ease, and for them to feel at home. I have cared for dogs for many years (both fostering and dog-sitting), and have a sweet 9yr old pitbull named koda, who loves sharing our home (& sofa & bed), and making new friends.
Reviews
Julia was a great sitter who kept Emery very happy with all of the great outdoor experiences. Even gave her a wash when she got too dirty. Good communication
Julia is a loving and trustworthy dog owner. She's been a wonderful mother to Koda, her 5-year-old pit bull. Instilling discipline while cultivating a loving and welcoming house. Her dog is incredibly well behaved making her a perfect model for other dogs. I would trust Julia to sit my dog any time and place.
Julia is my go to sitter and there's no one I would trust more to take care of my dog. Why she's so great: - She has a flexible job that allows her to prioritize long walks in the surrounding hills and fun beach trips on the daily. - Her home yard is large, safe and perfect to run around in. - her own dog is friendly, playful, and always happy to share toys or a nap. - my dog is always enthusiastic to get dropped off and always comes back happy and tired. - Julia truly loves dogs and takes care of my dog like he is family - I couldn't ask for anything more. You're the best Julia, thank you for all you do!

Safety, trust & environment
A little about my home: I am part of a triplex, with a large fenced backyard. As a whole, there are three dogs (mine included) who live at our little compound. Each dog has their own home, but during the day, you will find them all congregating outside to enjoy the grass or sun patches, or napping with each other in their respective homes. Since I work from home, I am able to leave my door open to the backyard and let the dogs roam in and out, as they please. I am also able to monitor activity and join them for outdoor activities and naps in the sun. Watching your dog: - We love long adventurous walks & hikes, snacks (if permitted), and group play time. - We like to send pupdates so you know your dog is safe and having fun! You can expect them often! - We will match your dogs needs; routine, leash rules, food quirks, etc...just let me know the details of how best to care for your pup and I will ensure their needs are met! - Clients should note that because there are other dogs at our home, your dog will often be making friends and going on pack walks. If this is something that you would not want, we will need to discuss prior to booking. - If your dog uses a crate or pen, be sure it comes with them when they board and let me know the routine they're used to.

If you are requesting a house sitter, it would be ideal for my dog to join me, but I understand if that might not always work. If you have preferences, please let me know before booking so we can discuss further. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

I have a flexible schedule, so outside of occasional meetings & errands, I will be working from home and able to be there for your dog. We enjoy daily hikes in the Oakland Hills (preferred over neighborhood walks), but can always adjust for your dogs needs!
