Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced in yard & don’t plan to board your animals at my home. But when they are in my care at your home or on a walk I will make sure they are always safe. I’ll always check in with you before caring for your animal to see what sorts of situations may be stressful for them/ what their personal restrictions are. If anything ever seems off with your pet when I see them I will notify you immediately. Clear communication is key for safety!

Information Julia D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know an animals age, if they are neutered, & their overall temperament.

A typical day

We can go for a simple walk, to a dog park, or on a little hike weather permitting.

Pets

Dependable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I love animals with my whole heart. I’ve had a sweet dog of my own for the past 10 years whom is truly my best friend. Other than my own, I’ve taken care of pets for friends & family for as long as I can remember. My relationship with animals on a whole is a special one for I respect them & am interested in what their behavior is trying to convey to us humans. I have previous volunteer experience at Antler Ridge Wildlife sanctuary in NJ, as well as previous experience in a VCA animal hospital as a tech assistant. I’m responsible, dependable, & very compassionate. I have a deep love for animals & aspire to one day have a nonprofit animal rescue. If your animal is with me, I will treat them with kindness. I know what it’s like to have to work long days away from our furry family members, personally it stresses me out. I would love to be able to ease that feeling of worry or guilt for you & be there to give your dog or cat some love!

Julia has taken care of my two kitties countless times, ranging from mealtime stop-ins to overnight care/extended housesitting. I've always had a great experience with her - she is dependable, communicative, and highly tuned in to what my animals need, including flawless management of some tricky medication administration. Also, the cats adore Julia, and my plants are seem to like her too. 10/10 would recommend.

Julia is one of the few people I have trusted with animal care for my pets. She has great energy, is trustworthy and puts your pets needs first. She will treat your animals ask if they are her own and that was very clear from day one. She also has great knowledge about animals more than the average person. I highly recommend Julia as a pet sitter or dog walker! You won’t want to use anyone else.

Julia is one of the most kind, caring, and loving humans I've met. She cares so much for all creatures and would do anything to help any one of them. Being a responsible dog owner, she always puts a dog's safety and wellbeing first. On top of all that, she is the coolest chick and your dog would not be bored. I would definitely recommend!
