Pet care experience

Your Pup’s Philly Bestie!

Hi, I’m Julia! I’ve been pet-sitting for about four years and grew up with dogs (three Shih Tzus!) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I don’t currently have pets of my own in Philly, so Rover has been such a fun way for me to get my dog time in while giving your pup the attention they deserve. I know how important consistent routines, patience, and plenty of affection are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable, especially when they’re away from their person. I’ll send photo updates while your pup is with me, because I’d want the same peace of mind if someone were watching my dog. 🙂

Julia was a fantastic communicator and made our nervous pup Millie feel right at home! The picture updates brought us so much joy :)

Julia took great care of our dog Daisy when I was away. She sent lots of photos and had a nice safe space for Daisy to stay in. I highly recommend!

Julia was fantastic with Snickers. He was immediately comfortable with her. Julia was very communicative, sent great photos, and gave consistent updates on how he was doing the entire time.

Julia was great in taking care of our five-year-old girl. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures of our girl on her walks and relaxing around the house. We would recommend Julia and look forward to using her again in the future.

Schedule

I have a very flexible job, and I typically work from home most of the week. I don't have a car in the city, so walking/public transport is my go-to.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special care instructions you provide. I also make sure to spend quality time with your pet, whether that’s playtime or just keeping them company. I’ll provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

A typical day

Walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle/relax time. I tailor activities to your pet’s energy level, keep things safe, and follow their routine closely.
