Pet care experience

Your dog’s new best friend <3

I started taking care of dogs at 13, when my family got our first dog, Luna. I was responsible for all the care related to her - training her a puppy, potty-training her, walking her, bathing her and feeding her. I also took care of her through two surgeries and when she became a senior dog - and all the extra care that entailed, from special diets to feeding her medicine at the right time. I’ve also pet-sat for many family members and friends. Most of my experience is with smaller dogs, but I can handle big and medium dogs as well! I love and care for all dogs like they were my own. For the cat parents, I have experience cat-sitting for friends as well!

House Sitting • Sep 28, 2026

Julia was amazing! She took great care of my pups, stayed later to feed them dinner when our flight was delayed, and sent pictures throughout her stay! It made us feel at ease leaving our dogs in such good care, I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!

Julia was fantastic with our somewhat difficult and quirky border collie. She did lots of long walks, which was so nice to see. Lucy got a ton of exercise and lounged on her comfy couch. Lucy got to a couple brownies (she’s very sneaky), and I was very pleased with how Julia handled it. She immediately called poison control and let us know. She monitored her closely and it was totally a non issue. I wasn’t worried because of how responsibly handled it was. We will absolutely trust Julia to watch Lucy again!

Julia was great—friendly, communicative, flexible, and good at working with my pup. I’d encourage anyone to make use of her services, and I plan to myself.

Schedule

I’m home during the week so I have all the time to play, walk and spend time with your pet! They wouldn’t be alone for more than two hours. I’d make sure to stick by the pet’s usual routine as much as possible - with walks, feeding, sleeping and napping.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment and although it is not the largest space, there is room for a crate (but if your pet prefers not staying in a crate that’s fine too) I’m more than happy to let the pup on my couch or bed - that’s what laundry is for! I live in a quiet neighborhood so we can enjoy plenty of walks. I’m close enough to a couple parks in case they’re good off-lease and would like to run around. I don’t have any pets and wouldn’t board pets from separate homes at the same time so as not to stress them, since changing environments is already stressful enough. I’m good at reading signs that pets are stressed, bored, or anxious and know how to react accordingly.

A typical day

We’ll on at least 3 walks a day, play as long as they like (I have a couple toys but if they have a favorite- please bring it) and just hang out!

Vet information? What is the normal routine for the pet? When do they normally go for a walk? When do they get fed? Are they used to getting on the furniture? Are they used to having access to a yard? What are some bad habits they have? Any allergies? How are they on walks (anything sets them off?)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
