Safety, trust & environment

I am well versed in special considerations and instructions (food preferences, fickleness, routine). Special needs and seniors pets need tailored care: meds, mobility assistance, exercises, tube feedings, and more. Ready to follow directions and provided the best care for your pet.

Information Julia C. would like to know about your pet

Cats: Let me know any hiding places for your cat so I can make sure they’re OK if I don’t see them. Comfort level with affection and favorite types of play are also appreciated. Dogs: Let me know their comfort level with other dogs and any areas they like or dislike. Routines, energy level, anything I need to know to keep your pet safe and happy. For senior dogs/dogs with special needs, tell me what makes them comfortable and what adaptations they need.

A typical day

I love to keep cats company and meet them on their own terms whether it’s high energy play, pets or grooming, or just hanging out nearby while they chill in a place they love. Shy cats need a different kind of love! Ready for the kind of exercise your pup needs whether it's a jaunt, a stroll, a mosey, a push in a stroller, or a just some company! Senior dogs or special needs dogs can need a unique kind of care, let me know what that is!

Julia was such a great sitter! Was very communicative and gave lots of updates throughout the weekend. Also was very good with Frankie, giving him lots of attention and love. Would definitely book again!

Julia is a fantastic cat sitter and we highly recommend her! We reached out with pretty short notice, and Julia sent a quick response from the start. Her communication before booking and during our trip was excellent - we got so many details about our gals’ care and health which really put our minds at ease while away. It’s very clear that Julia cares so much about each pet she cares for and their individual needs. Our two cats are shy and hide from visitors, so Julia handled leaving food out as well as observing their activity between visits. I’m pretty sure the litter area and kitchen were cleaner than how we left them, too! We’ve had cats for nearly 15 years and this was one of the best sitter experiences we’ve had.

Julia was a superb cat sitter! I could tell immediately that she is such an animal lover and she took her time getting to know my cats. They got brushed daily and she communicated well in regards to food, water, and litter. Will definitely be using her again!
