Dog lover with a huge backyard

Hello! My name is Julia and I’m excited to become a sitter on Rover. I grew up in Slovakia with a wonderful schnauzer who I trained from the age of 13. She was an incredible companion and even had a knack for searching for mushrooms in the woods—an impressive talent for a dog! Currently, I live in Englewood, NJ, where I've had the joy of sharing my life with an amazing dog. We recently lost our gentle giant, an Airedale Terrier named Samson, who was with us for 10 wonderful years. Samson was not only a beloved pet but also my daughter's protector since she was born. Despite his intimidating size, he was gentle and caring, never hurting anyone, but always ready to take care of pesky rodents in the backyard. He brought so much laughter into our lives, and it’s true what they say: if you don’t have a sense of humor, you shouldn’t own an Airedale! We absolutely adore dogs and often borrow our friends' dogs while they are away, which has only deepened our love for furry companions. As we adjust to life without Samson, my 8-year-old daughter and I are eager to take care of dogs independently. We would love the opportunity to share our home and love with your furry friends. We promise to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. Looking forward to meeting your pets!

We were very happy with the care provided and the pictures of our dog Mackie. This was the first time we boarded him for such a long stretch, so we were nervous, but it was clear he was doing just great. Much appreciated and will book again.

Julia was amazing. She was warm, compasionate and loving to my senior pup. She was accomodating when I had to change the drop off date, and treated Lucy as one of her own. She sent photos frequently, which I loved. Lucy was calm and happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely use Julia again. Thank you, Julia.

A typical day

Welcome to a day of personalized care for your furry friend! As your dedicated dog sitter through the Rover App, I provide a one-on-one experience right from my home. Your dog will enjoy fun activities like playful fetch sessions in the yard, interactive puzzle games to stimulate their mind, and leisurely strolls through the neighborhood. We’ll also have cozy cuddle time and maybe even some tasty treats! With a focus on comfort and companionship, I ensure your pup feels right at home while you're away. Let’s make their day special together

Julia can host up to 3 pets per night
i would like to know about your pet's specific needs and preferences. This can include their diet, any allergies, medical conditions, or medications they might require. Understanding their personality traits—like whether they enjoy socializing with other dogs or prefer quiet time—can also help ensure they're comfortable. Additionally, knowing their favorite toys or activities can make their experience more enjoyable during their time with a sitter. Communication is key to providing the best care.
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.
