Highlights
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!

Ratings and reviews
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.
Great communication & very kind!
Julia provided lots of updates throughout the day. It was clear our puppy got lots of care and attention from her!
Julia was great and understanding with my random schedule changes highly appreciate that , nugget felt very comfortable with her as soon as he walked in. Provided plenty of updates and pictures of nugget. Looking forward to having her take care of our boy again.
This was the longest I had left my 2 dogs with Julia while I was out of the country and she did great taking care of them! Have used her for several months now and both pups are very comfortable with her!

Schedule
I work full-time so for most services I’m only available in the evening or on weekends. I can host pets over for boarding during the week, but they would be alone for a maximum of 4 hours while I’m in the office. I make sure to take dogs out before work, during my lunch break and then at night. I have cameras and work close enough to home that in case of an emergency I can be with them in 5 minutes. I do ask that for boarding, if possible, the pet is dropped off after the work day so we can get acclimated with each other. During the weekend, 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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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?)
