I stand out from the pack!

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals big and small ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, cows, hamsters, snakes, birds—you name it. So I would be thrilled to take care of your pet, no matter what species!

Julia was wonderful! She house-sat my cat, Chili, while I was away over Memorial Day weekend. Chili loved hanging out with her and Julia was very attentive and sent me updates once or twice a day.

Julia watched my two cats for a week while my husband and I were traveling. She kept me posted on their check-ins and even spent extra time playing and hanging out with them. She was extremely responsive whenever I messaged her, and overall, my cats and I both loved her. Thanks, Julia!

Julia is great with dogs, big and small! She is really attentive with the animals and gives them lots of love and play time. Any dog she cares for is in good hands.

Julia is a dog lover extraordinaire! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and experienced with fur babies of all shapes and sizes. I am a professional dog sitter myself and have trusted Julia with my high maintenance border collies countless times. In fact, we jokingly referred to her as “second mom” because they loved her so much. My pups always returned from outings with her worn out, safe, and happy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone :] your pup will thank you!

Growing up, my family had two border collies, two chihuahuas, and a boxer. While in college, I regularly took my friend's collies on hiking trips. I'm confident caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. And as a seasoned cat mom, I'm happy to spend time with kitties of all kinds, too :)

Information Julia B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog is house trained, crate trained, or has any anxiety issues. I love taking dogs out for adventures in the park or around the neighborhood, so I'd also want to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs!

A typical day

I live near the Montgomery dog park in Old Town Alexandria, which is great if your pup is up for socializing! We can also go on walks near the water!

Availability

Because I work from home, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend more time walking, playing, and snuggling with your pet(s). That also means I'm available for mid-day walks and trail adventures for more energetic pups. For older or less energetic dogs, I'm happy to stay in and provide plenty of ear scratches and belly rubs. I will work with you to determine the frequency and timing of visits that is best for you and your pet!
