I'm available Mon-Fri from 9am-2pm, Sat/Sun from 10am-5pm, and some evenings depending on the situation. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible weekday/weekend schedule, pet care fits naturally into my routine. I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and love giving pets companionship and care while their families are away. Whether it's a quick potty break or a long walk, I'm reliable, attentive, and happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines as closely as possible - whether that's feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medication. I always make sure they feel safe, comforted, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and keep you updated with messages and photos.

Information Julia C. would like to know about your pet

I always want your pet to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, health conditions, medications, or quirks I should know about. I'm happy to follow your instructions closely and adjust my care to fit their routine.

A typical day

I tailor fun activities to each pet's personality and energy level. For active pups, we'll go on neighborhood walks, sniffing adventures, or enjoy fetch and playtime in the yard. For seniors or shy dogs, I offer gentle strolls, belly rubs, and relaxed hangout time. My goal is to keep your dog happy, engaged, and feeling safe while you're away.

This was the first time using Rover and Julia for my cats and chickens while having to be at a family function in the midwest. Everything on the homefront went smoothly and Julia provided me with peace of mind tending to my fur babies . I will definitely be using her services again!

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.
